    Catering by

    Alina Cakes & Catering

    The treats and catering at Sininen Talo are made by Alina Vanhalahti, who lives in Lusi herself. She qualified as a chef in 2013 and has worked in the restaurant industry ever since.

    Alina moved to Lusi from Joutsa in 2015. She got to know Sininen Talo while playing with her children in its garden, and already then the idea of a café crossed her mind. In summer 2024 she held her first pop-up café in the house, which also grew into the Lusi Village Hall Summer Days.

    For Alina, Lusi is a place close to her heart, where the soul can rest and where work and home are close to each other. “Here you have everything a person needs.”

    Alina bakes and cooks everything herself, following the seasons. Catering is available at Sininen Talo or elsewhere, and special diets are always taken into account.
