Today is Midsummer! This is my favorite Swedish holiday and that I miss the most when I am not in Sweden. We celebrate a whole day that the summer is here, days are longer (4-5h between sun set and sun rise) and the vacation is around the corner. That is really something to celebrate. What [...]
I have a new favorite - these small, delicious and, at the some time, healthy energy bites. And it's not only my new favorite snack, it's also my 14.5 months old daughter's new favorite snack. Perfect! I just say, you have to try this recipe. I cannot just eat one.... They are ready in less [...]
Me and my family went strawberry picking yesterday. This reminded me about my childhood, when my older sister and my mom went strawberry picking. The went to this strawberry farm, not far from our summer house, every summer to help the owner to get their strawberries picked and thereafter sold. I don't know if I [...]
Easter is around the corner. Something that we know, is that Easter holiday 2020 won't be celebrated like we normally do. If it was not for covid19, my parents in law would have been here with us now and the egg hunting with the family would have been an important activity. We still have each [...]

The Tebrike has a long tradition and is a buttery bread made in layers which gives [...]
Blueberry muffins are just so good, we all know that. But have you tried the blueberry and ginger in a muffin? I had the chance to taste one when I was in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago and I got so inspired that I had to bake it myself. Muffins has always been [...]
Walnuts, with their rich flavor and buttery, smooth consistency, add a lot to this bread. The base recipe is similar to this, so if you prefer to bake your bread without walnuts, follow that recipe. Ingredients (1 loaf): 6 cups (625g) flour (e.g. unbleached all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour) 1 tsp dry active yeast 1/2 [...]
Bagels, can it be more American? 😉 I know this is not a Scandinavian tradition. But as I have been writing about before when it comes to the Scandinavian cuisine, we are very much influenced and taken other food cultures into our own. I LOVE bagels. I do! I think it is because you can't [...]
It is something special with a lemon cake. The sweet cake together with the sour lemon that gives it a freshness. My husband appreciate most of the cakes I bake, but lemon cake makes him extra happy. 🙂 I think also the poppy seeds add a lot to this cake. The poppy seeds not only [...]
