I think meat is something very exclusive. Not because it's more expansive than e.g. vegetables, but because of how meat today can be handled. I try to minimise how often I eat meat, and when I buy it, I try to find meat which is coming from sustainable sources. I buy meat where I know [...]
I like to set my own twist on meals. In Scandinavia, as you might already know, we love fish and seafood. Therefore I have prepared a seafood version of the traditional Italian mince meat lasagna (which I also love). You can prepare this meal in less than 45min. Try it, and I am sure you [...]
In my household we eat vegetarian food every week. We don't think now-we-have-to-eat-vegetarian-food. We do that because we want (environmental friendly) and because we believe the food taste delicious. This is just one of the soup I often prepare. Soup is a dish you can variate after your own taste preferences. The sweet carrot is [...]
I think this dish looks absolutely beautiful! It's a grand, exciting but easy dish that I served as an appetizer but can of course be done bigger and then as a main course. This is a dish I serve on a special evening. Ingredients (appetizer - 4 pers): 2 sweet potatoes 7 tsp olive oil 6 [...]
These bread buns are so easy to bake and they are delicious. You don't understand why you ever bought buns after eaten those fresh. 🙂 I baked them this week and served them with a dinner soup we had. Delicious! And they only need to ferment once. Ingredients (20 bread buns) 1 pack dry yeast [...]
The original Wallenbergare is a veal burger named after the ancestor of the largest industrial family in Sweden (Marcus Wallenberg), and a true delicacy with smooth flavors. I have decided to do a fish version of the famous Wallenbergare. I think this adds an even more freshness and gives the real Scandinavian touch on the dish. [...]
Happy New Year to all of you! I wish you all a wonderful 2019! I hope you had a good start of the new year. I celebrated New Year's Eve here in Florida together with friends at our place. Before that, I was celebrating Christmas with my family in Sweden and had some great traditional [...]
I continue with some typical Scandinavian Christmas dishes now just days before Christmas Eve. Jansson's temptation is the translation of the Swedish name of the dish - "Janssons frestelse". This is a must on our traditional Christmas dinner table. This is a creamy potato and fish gratin. The combination might sound a bit strange, but [...]
Now when it's Christmas time, I have to share another typical Christmas tradition we have in Scandinavia. To drink warm wine - mulled wine. We name it "Glögg". It's quite sweet but has a delicious taste of typical Christmas flavors such as cinnamon, ginger, orange and cloves. Since it's a strong drink, we serve it [...]
Something that has a long tradition during Christmas in Scandinavia is to eat rice pudding (also named Santa Claus' porridge). The tradition is from 19th century when egg, milk and butter were luxury ingredients. Nowadays, it's a small meal we in Sweden eat some days before or after Christmas and in Denmark often eaten as [...]
