Topic: #Renewable Flavors: Finnish gooseberry, Finnish rye, star aniseed and pickled strawberry My inspiration comes from two very Finnish and extremely undervalued ingredients; Rye and gooseberries, both are very common, and both are totally overlooked in pastry. Those combined with fresh Finnish water, are the initial inspiration for my fresh pastry.
