Midsummer

Seems like all celebrations pretty much revolve around food. The Midsummer tradition for me is new potatoes, herring, salmon... For my au pair, the tradition is a pavlova cake. So this year we combined our traditions and had a nice little feast to celebrate the summer solstice.

Our table setting with flowers picked from our backyard, and a nod to the motherland with the Marimekko table cover and napkins. 



My go-to appetizer in the summer is a bruschetta salad with fresh sliced french bread. 



For main course, new potatoes with butter, herring, salmon.


The dessert was heavenly! I never had a pavlova cake before, but it was super yummy. 


And of course, we finished out with our own "kokko".
