Chef Ryan Leinonen will host a Finland-themed dinner tonight at Trillium. "Food from Finland tends to be more rustic, simple and peasant-like than the other Scandinavian countries," says Leinonen, whose menu includes four courses, all paired with wines, for $70 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. "The Finnish people are steeped in culinary tradition, relying heavily on smoking, salting, curing and frying fish, and because the growing season is short, there are always a lot of root vegetables involved - and ingredients like potatoes, turnips and carrots will play a big part in my Finnish dinner." The feast, part of Leinonen's ongoing Scandinavian dinner series, begins at 7 p.m.; make a reservation at 303-379-9759.
