I speak to internationally recognised culinary authority and TV host, Kristina Vänni, who is also a food writer, TV host, recipe developer, cooking contest expert.
We discuss her upcoming cookbook, Homefarm, but also her Finnish roots in Peräseinäjoki, Etelä Pohjanmaa. She tells the the story of her Great-Grandmother, Josefiina Pitäkranta's emigration to the USA in 1899 and how Kristina came to connect with her distant relatives, her 'return' to Pitkäranta Farm and the inspiration for her book.
