Around the World in 80 Plates: Finland and a Giveaway!


Still in the pancake mood? Good! Today I have another type of pancake but these are from World Vegan Feast by Bryanna Clark Grogan (which by the way I won last year during Vegan Mofo!) and they are called Pannukakku or as Bryanna called them Yeasted Oven Pancake with Apple which rolls off my tongue a little easier but is way less fun! This one takes a little bit of planning since you have to let it rise (yeasted remember) so you will have to make sure to get up a bit early to get it started. It comes together quite quick and easy though so it's not too hard. I'm not entirely sure mine rose the way it should have but it tasted yummy and had a custard-y texture. Plus how can you resist all that yummy baked apple goodness on these?! We drizzled a bit of maple syrup over the top which took it over the top. Definitely one for a special brunch or any day that ends in -day!



I've decided as well that no Mofo is complete without a giveaway. I have been lucky enough to win a few goodies from other blogs and wanted to do something nice for those of you that have been joining me this month. I was trying to pick a book that I would like to give away from the ones I have been using lately and realized I couldn't pick. I decided to let the winner pick! Just leave a comment and you will be entered and if you are picked as the winner, you will get to choose one from the following books and I will buy it and send it to you! Pretty easy right?! And since my theme is Around the World so is this giveaway! It's open to anyone in the world, just leave a comment and let me know which book you would like to win. I will pick a winner on November 1st at 10am EST. Good luck!

If you win, you can choose one of the following:

Artisan Vegan Cheese
World Vegan Feast
Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites
Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day!
Vegan Eats World
The 30 Minute Vegan Taste of Europe
Nonna's Italian Kitchen
Vegan Food Gifts
The Complete Guide to Vegan Food Substitutions

  6. I’ve had that pancake recipe on my “must-make” list, it just sounded so good, and now I know it looks amazing too.

    Thanks for the giveaway Kelly and feel free to pick me as the winner ;) I’m only kind of kidding, lol.

  10. Now you're talkin', Kelly! Great idea to let readers choose the book. I was having that same problem myself when considering doing a giveaway since I don't (yet!) have my own book to giveaway!

    Thanks for doing this!

  13. Wow, those pancakes look AMAZING! The extra time won't be a problem for me, since I eat all the breakfast foods for dinner :)

    & that's a pretty awesome selection of books, too. I'd have so much trouble choosing!

  17. I just got my tester copy of Vegan Eats World, and I'm sooooo excited to crack into it! It was easily my most anticipated cookbook of the year (even though I was a tester for it)! Man, I'd have a hard time picking between Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day and Vegan Food Gifts, but with the holidays coming up, I guess I'd go with VFG. Thanks for putting together such an awesome giveaway!!! Super generous of you!!!
