This Swedish traditional cake is called "Kärleksmums" which I chose to translate with Love treats but could also be Love cakes, Choco-coco squares or Love yums. 🙂 It may look like a chocolate brownie with chocolate icing and coconut flakes, but it is much lighter and fluffier than a brownie. Try it! Ingredients (approximately 24 [...]
Soup is something I do quite often. This vegetarian soup is easy and quick to prepare. You can vary the base in you soup, in this soup I have use butternut squash which is high in fiber and full of vitamins A and C. To make this weekday soup a bit more exclusive, you can [...]
This is a very traditional Swedish dish and now when my parents are visiting me here in Florida, my mom and I prepared this for dinner. Dill and spirit vinegar are classic Swedish flavors and you find both in this dill pot or "Dillkött" - literally meaning dill meat. The meat you use can differ. [...]
Pickled red onions - so easy and so delicious! My tip is to prepare pickled red onions and always have it ready in the refrigerator. It takes five minutes to prepare and you can keep it in the refrigerator for two to three weeks without problem. You'll probably love having a jar of pickled red [...]
This is an easy and quick, healthy lunch or dinner. The Italien dry-cured ham adds something extra to the dish, but you can of course skip that if you don't have it at home or if you don't like it. Quinoa has no long tradition in Scandinavia but has become a popular side dish (e.g. [...]
In every classical café in Scandinavia you will always find Thumbprint cookies. We might not eat them so often any longer, but when you do, you remember how good they are. This cookie comes originally from Sweden. They are named Hallongrottor in Swedish, meaning “raspberry cave”! It's a buttery cookie with a shallow well in the middle [...]
There are so many different recipes for a veggie burger. I really like this recipe because it has a very crispy outside and an inside that make you feel full (in a good way). Try it! I'm sure even the kids would like it. Ingredients (4 pers): 1 (average size) zucchini 3/4 cup whole almonds [...]
The Swedish "Knäckebröd" (translated break bread) has a long history and we find the first traces of this crisp bread in Sweden around 500 AD. Originally, they were made round with a hole in the middle so that the breads could be stored for a long time, as they were threaded on long sticks hanging from [...]
After starting to bake my own hamburger rolls, I think it's difficult to buy ready rolls (if you're not in a really big hurry). I have tried different recipes but these brioche rolls are my favorite. Brioche rolls are perfect for burgers. They have a soft and delicious inside, and a harder outside which makes [...]
I’ve always had a soft spot for our Scandinavian cinnamon buns. In Swedish, we call them kanelbullar, in Danish kanelsnegle, and in Norwegian skillingsboller. No matter what you call them, the smell of warm cinnamon and butter is pure comfort. I still remember standing next to my mom in the kitchen, helping her roll out [...]
