It’s been a rough year and for weeks now I’ve been highly excited about ringing in 2009 and saying good riddance to 2008. So much so, in fact, that I was rather taken aback when the below collage of this year’s blog pictures made me smile so much. Lesson learnt: don’t let the grim blot out the great.

My final festive Scandinavian dish for this year is lanttulaatikko. This Finnish recipe takes the humble turnip (what you folks might call swede or rutabaga) and turns it into a rich, creamy, bubbling baked dish of yumminess.
