It just sits in a warm oven and patiently waits for you (just remember to check the liquid levels before heading out!)<BR/><BR/>Lobstersquad – what, you haven’t got a oven full of hot coals?? Try your fireplace, then. Might work, too :)<BR/><BR/>Joey – it would be an even better place for a cozy summer getaway – you could run from the sauna straight into the sea!!<BR/><BR/>K&S – yes, it’s perfect!<BR/><BR/>Kevin Kossowan – spot on! And yes, it’d be nice to look at the sea while cooking!<BR/><BR/>Nora B – I’m pleased to have found your blog!<BR/><BR/>Gloria – well, there will be at cold and snowy posts from now on until March, at least :)<BR/><BR/>Anna – heippa, Taikinatyttö! Nice to hear from you – it’s been a while. It’s a great Finnish dish, isn’t it?!<BR/><BR/>Shaun – well, this particular Italo-Finnish fusion menu worked just well..<BR/><BR/>Freya and Paul – I was pretty pleased with the crusty topping myself :)<BR/><BR/>SalulaidSolarte – Nigella Lawson has a recipe for a ham in coke. I’m not sure I’m too keen on the idea (I don’t drink soft drinks in general), but I keep that in mind.<BR/><BR/>Lydia – comfort food in an oven, for sure..<BR/><BR/>Roxy – I’ll try it with a thick dark ale next time. Finnish? Norwegian? Well, definitely Nordic, so very appropriate here in Estonia :)<BR/><BR/>Inne – dark beer it is next time (and that’ll be soon!) PS I’ve written you about the Japanese dishes…<BR/><BR/>Christina – it did smell rather wonderful! But then pretty much anything cooked in a wood fire oven smells wonderful, doesn’t it!<BR/><BR/>Jeanne - that's the beauty of this oven stew - so few ingredients, yet so much substance and flavour!!<BR/><BR/>ScienceMel - yep, you're right :)<BR/><BR/>Ann - I wish I could help you with the name! I've actually written to a Finnish food writer about this dish, hope he'll be able to help!<BR/><BR/>Antti - and I knew that writing about a Finnish dish would lure you back to Nami-nami:) Congrats on your new Le Creuset! As we've got three 'ancient' cast iron pans at home, we've got no excuse for a Le Creuset one (or Staub for that matter).<BR/><BR/>Quilly and Maddy – thank you!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-27702625796703296602007-12-01T23:56:00.000+02:002007-12-01T23:56:00.000+02:00Ah, now I know what to do in my new Le Creuset =)Ah, now I know what to do in my new Le Creuset =)Anttihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564074229972415929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-85266979142154999672007-11-29T15:26:00.000+02:002007-11-29T15:26:00.000+02:00I remember making a German version of a dish like ...I remember making a German version of a dish like this many many years ago for an international dinner at my high school, and the thing that's always boggled me about it is, if there's no fish in it, why is it called a fisherman's stew? Maybe I think incorrectly about fishermen, but I've got to figure that beef (or pork) would be pretty rare for them! Aaaaanyway... What a nice break you guys had! and cooking in a stove, so cool!

One of the first things I ever cooked for other people in a strange kitchen was beef brisket in beer and it went down a treat.
