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 [...]
One pot pasta is ideal for a casual family dinner. This is SO simple to prepare. Look at the instructions below, it's so short text because it's so simple. 🙂 Again, you can use what ingredients you have at home or what you like most. I have done this recipe vegetarian, but you could add [...]
Omelette (or omelet) is not only perfect for breakfast, but also for lunch. It's can be done quickly, includes a high amount of protein and saturated fat which gives a longer satiation and - it's delicious.

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 [...]
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 [...]
A delicious all-in-one packet! This dish is just so good. And easy to prepare. You place all ingredients you like in tinfoil and put it on the grill or in the oven. You can't go wrong! In this recipe I have added all ingredients I like, and I think add something special to the dish. [...]
This vegetarian lasagna is a hit in our family. Like many other vegetarian dishes, you can vary what kind of vegetables you use in your lasagna but I can really recommend this recipe. I know Halloumi cheese is not the most common cheese in USA, so if you don't find it in your grocery store, [...]
The Semla (or Fastelavnsbolle in Norway and Denmark) is a flour bun, flavoured with cardamom and filled with almond paste and whipped cream. If you have ever visit Sweden this time of the year, you might have seen "Semlor" in each and every café. It has become something of a carb-packed icon in Sweden. The [...]
