Welcome to Cooking With Ella, where the food is delicious, the kitchen is always open, and a Labrador usually watches every move I make. Let’s cook!

Ella and her apple. 🍎 She looks very pleased with herself, with her prize resting between her paws. The apple was still untouched when I took this photo, but it didn’t stay that way for long. Of course, I removed the core and seeds first. 😄😄

Fresh from the greenhouse, and finally, plenty of ripe tomatoes to cook with. 🍅 I made this French tomato tart with Dijon mustard, tomatoes, and a mix of Gruyère and Västerbottensost. Simple, savory, and a great way to use summer tomatoes.

I have lots of apples this year, so I’ve been looking for ways to use them in savory dishes too. This apple-mustard chicken turned out really well. Grilled chicken with an apple, Dijon, and brown sugar glaze, plus a creamy apple sauce on the side.

Served with roasted potatoes, green beans, and a simple salad with tomatoes.

I’m a big fan of tomato-based soups, and this Mediterranean fish soup is a flavorful combination of salmon, white fish, vegetables, tomatoes, olives, and capers. 🍅🐟

A little white wine and vinegar add extra flavor, while fresh dill and a drizzle of dill oil finish the soup.

It’s easy enough for a weeknight dinner, but flavorful enough to serve when friends come over too.

This summer has really kept me on my toes with the tomatoes. Growing them in Helsinki means being very much at the mercy of the weather, and this year we’ve had rain, warm days, cold nights, and plenty of humidity.

The tomatoes are about three weeks behind, but they’re finally starting to ripen. 🍅 I’ve picked quite a few already, with plenty of green ones still waiting on the plants.

And now that the tomatoes are coming, some tomato dishes will be following too. A Herbed Cherry Tomato Tart from last summer is one of them. Recipe here: https://cookingwithella.com/herbed-cherry-tomato-tart/

Fresh dill and chanterelles are wonderful summer ingredients, and they come together nicely in this simple fish dinner. 🌿

Pan-fried white fish is finished with homemade dill oil. The slightly textured oil adds a fresh, herby flavor to the delicate fish.

Served with new potatoes, vegetables, and creamy chanterelle sauce, it makes a delicious summer meal. 💚

The wait was worth it. 🐾❤️

After plenty of running, chasing, and a little wrestling, Ella and Lia found a glove. They each grabbed one end, and neither had any intention of letting go. 😄

Judging by their wagging tails, I'd say they both considered themselves the winner. 💛

I often make this pea puree when serving grilled or smoked salmon. It adds fresh flavor to the meal and also works as a light, creamy sauce.

The recipe uses frozen peas, so it's easy to prepare any time of year. I sometimes add fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or mint, depending on what I have on hand.

If you're looking for a simple side dish for fish, I hope you'll give it a try!

Before her Labrador friend arrived, I told Ella that she would soon be here.

She immediately picked up her ball and went to wait by the fence. ❤️

It wasn't long before they were happily running around the yard together. Dogs really do have a special way of understanding us. 🐾💛

As soon as my red currants are ripe, I start thinking about how to use them. Some go into baking, some become jelly, and I often freeze some for later.

One of my favorite ways to use them is this Red Currant Jelly. I originally got the recipe from a family member. It was so easy to make, and the result was so good.

If you have fresh red currants to use, I hope you'll give it a try!
