Finlandia® Vodka Launches Charity Events Tied to Sustainable Foods

Book now for Cooking with Finlandia Vodka Dinners Finlandia Vodka is sponsoring a benefit for Slow Food USA featuring Finnish/American chef Sara La Fountain to bring to the table a culinary experience focused on sustainability and "slow food" principles.

Chef La Fountain's Finnish heritage shows itself in her distinctive cooking style, and in the way she incorporates sustainable practices into every facet of her culinary repertoire. Attendees will experience four dishes created with local ingredients (as well as a dash of Finlandia Vodka). To complement the fare, Finlandia's global brand champion, Pekka Pellinen, will pair a Finlandia Vodka cocktail with each dish. The events will be held at Fairmont Hotels in the following three cities: Miami, Chicago and Dallas.

Fresh! from Finland campaign

Fresh! from Finland campaign was successfully launched on 28 October at Scandinavia House in New York. There really exists enthusiasm about Finnish food culture in New York - this was demonstrated by the fact that the event was sold-out days before, and nearly one hundred eager New York foodies came to Scandinavia House to watch food demo and to taste some Finnish delicacies.

Pekka Terävä, the appraised owner of Olo Restaurant in Helsinki impressed the audience with his food demo. Mr. Terävä prepared some of his signature dishes on stage, and the audience could not but to admire how he transformed a few simple ingredients into a delectable menu. No wonder that Olo Restaurant was recently chosen by the Guardian newspaper as the best place to eat Nordic food! The Culinary adventure culminated into food tasting, where the audience was treated to the fresh flavors from abundant forests and clean waters of Finland.
