EXPERIENCE LOCAL FOOD TRADITIONS AND COOK OVER AN OPEN FIRE WITH YOUR HOSTS.
Enjoy a relaxed outdoor cooking experience together with your hosts, chef Ilkka and nature guide Asta. During the experience, you will prepare a three-course meal over an open fire, guided step by step while learning about the ingredients, local food traditions and our hyper-local food philosophy.
The menu follows the seasons and often highlights vegetables, fish and ingredients gathered from nearby forests, such as wild herbs, berries and mushrooms. Fish comes from nearby waters, and we also use high-quality products from local small producers. The meal includes non-alcoholic drinks.
During the experience, you will also hear about D.O. Saimaa – designation of origin label for high-quality food products from the Lake Saimaa region.
Optional add-on: The experience can begin with a short guided foraging walk in the nearby forest, where we gather seasonal ingredients together (additional fee + 25 € / person).
This experience takes place in Uhkua, but can also be arranged at other locations – please ask for options and pricing.
