Good day everyone!

Today I want to introduce you my favourite Finnish dessert so far... The Blueberry pie.
 
Yesterday it was a grey and rainy day in Turku, for this reason, a friend and I decided to bake something.
 
After going trought Finnish dessert recepies, we decided to go for the Blueberry pie (good choice).
 
This Blueberry Pie or "Mustikkapiirakka" ( as they say here) is actually an iconic Finnish dessert and most bakeries around the country sell it.
 
The pie is very easy to make it and the ingredients are cheap and easy to find.

Have fun and BUON APPETITO!!

Country comparison:Finland and Italy (Hofstede theory) Now, I will try to show you the results of an analysis has been done on Finland  and Italy using the Hofstede theory. This tool is very useful and interesting one to use in order to get a good overview of the different cultures and make a comparison with other countries in the world. I knew Italians and Finnish are very different but, using the Hofstede theory, I learned about some more aspects of the Finnish and Italian society and how much they actually differ from each other.
