Rooting for Food - Cook Book
During the turbulent war years, 1939-1945, Finnish women on the home front struggled to conjure up nutritious meals out of the scant resources available.
Rooting for Food gives the reader a sampling of the recipes they used. A chronology of the war in photos and interesting facts give the recipes a historical context.
Excerpts from letters, biographies and memoirs give a unique look into life in Finland in those difficult times.

Artist Bio
I have sold my paintings at craft shows, both
locally and in Toronto, as well as at Finnish Festivals
around Ontario. My work has found a home as far away
as California and Finland.
Besides watercolours, I also do pencil drawings.
Using this media I translated and illustrated three
books of Finnish folk tales for Aspasia Books.
Writing is my other great love. I have written many
novels, children's books, poetry anthologies, a cook
book, as well as histories. Recently I translated the
Finnish National Epic, Kalevala, as well as the Old
Kalevala to English.
