When I was a child, my bigger sister and I used to fight about who should prepare the Spaghetti Bolognese for dinner. She thought she made the best Bolognese and I thought I did the best one. My sister makes really good Bolognese, but today I don't think she would refuse my Bolognese. 🙂 Even [...]
A crusty baguette is something I just love. It's perfect for your family picnic, together with a tasty soup or just as a quick easy lunch. It's not so easy to find the crusty simple baguettes here where I live, but it's so easy to bake yourself. Try this recipe! Start in the evening and [...]
This is another typical kind of sweet pastry we eat when we enjoy a "fika" in Sweden. It's a sponge cake which is soft and light. This cardamom cake has a genuine taste of cardamom and I call it my mom's recipe, because my mom always has a cardamom cake ready for us when we [...]
Today on March 25 is the Scandinavian Waffle Day! I have learned that in USA, the Waffle Day is August 24. But to celebrate today, I have made a waffle served with something we are very proud of and love in Sweden - our cloudberries. They are closely related to raspberries, look like small blackberries [...]

When you prepare an omelette, you can use the vegetables you have at home before they get too old. [...]
I know you might not have Spring/Summer feeling already in March, but since I live in Florida, we already started eating lunch/dinner outside. I love it! This recipe came to my mind - it's a Summer recipe. My brother served me this beautiful dish last Summer and I had to prepare it myself. I think [...]
Something I loved when I was a kid was the Swedish "chocolate ball". Butter and cocoa based chocolate ball rolled in coconut flakes or pearl sugar. This was also something I remember as the first thing my mom let me bake, because it's no bake sweets. Last week, when I went to Fla Juice and [...]
So simple and so good! To order an avocado toast for breakfast or lunch in a trendy café in Scandinavia has been "the thing" for many years now. I know this healthy, green toast is also very popular in the USA. I prefer to prepare my own avocado toast, when it's season for avocado, I [...]
There is hummus and then there is perfect hummus. And you can not compare the one you do from scratch with the one you buy in the store. First time I had a really good hummus was when I was on vacation in Dubai. I would say a really good hummus is so creamy and [...]
