I have morning routines. But they can change now and then. I would never stop eating my yoghurt and granola. But at the moment, and in addition to that, I like to start my day with a ginger shot. I think this taste healthy, if you can taste that? And it taste good. It is [...]
I know I already mentioned that Love treats (Kärleksmums) is one of the most popular chocolate cake in Sweden. That's true. But do you know which chocolate cake, by far, that is #1? It's the Mud cake or "Kladdkaka" in Swedish. What makes this cake a success? Is that it's gooey. The cake will puff up as [...]
I posted my grandma's meatball recipe a couple of months ago (you find it here). I have followers who asked for the typical Swedish meatball dish. Here it is! The most traditional combination with meatballs is with mashed potatoes, a salty creamy sauce based on all the tastes coming from the meatball gravy and then [...]
I love shrimp sandwich! What is typical for a Scandinavian shrimp sandwich is that you almost don't see the bread due to all the shrimps. 🙂 Ingredients (4 sandwiches): 4 slices of sourdough bread 2 lb shrimps with shells (if you prefer peeled ones, you choose that but then less) 4 tbs home-made mayonnaise (or [...]
Gnocchi is Italian, but it's simple, healthy and elegant so this dish fits perfect in the Scandinavian kitchen. It's so simple to prepare and for all meat lovers out there, I don't think you will even notice that this dish is vegetarian. And you know what, dinner is ready in less than 15 minutes! Ingredients [...]
Fried fish with potatoes and creamy sauce is a traditional Swedish dish. In Denmark we also eat a lot of fried fish with a must-have to it - the danish remoulade sauce. But instead of the typical Swedish or Danish dish, I do my own with a twist. The fried fish is this time made [...]
Strawberry smoothie - who doesn't love that? Smoothie is perfect in the summer when you want something cold, full of energy and drink something rather than eat. But also winter time, when you need some good energy in the morning before heading to work. This smoothies has both some good nutritions (healthy fat from avocado, [...]
I know the American chocolate cookie is THE cookie. But if you would like to taste something else and something coming from Scandinavia, you should really try this Swedish chocolate cookie. It has a rich taste of chocolate and is chewy. The biggest difference from the the American cookies is maybe the shape. We cut [...]
This cake is a typical birthday cake in Scandinavia. You can also get it served as a dessert if you celebrate e.g. Midsummer in Sweden. I give this cake to my mom when we were celebrating her 70th birthday here in Florida. Ingredients (1 cake): Cake 3 organic eggs 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp [...]
It doesn't get more Danish than this; Smørrebrød or Open (Face) Sandwich! When I lived in Copenhagen for three years, I always took my international visitors to eat the Danish icon. They are normally made on a thin slice of Danish rye bread, a rich layer of butter and then with different delicious toppings. That [...]
