Dinner brownie with parsnip, millet, raspberries and “tahinitella”
These brownies were created of three main reasons. Number one: This year was too generous with raspberries. We were picking and picking and eating and making desserts, but the raspberries just continued growing like crazy! So I had to find a way to use them. Number two: I loooove brownies! More precisely, I love brownies…

Healthy. Easy. Delicious. Autumn is here! Long walks, beautiful colours, leaves in the air, cafe hang-outs, big cups of hot chocolate – the perfect autumn treat! Very warm, very tasty.
