This is a simple bread that has a light and fluffy inside and a beautiful hard crust on the outside and with a delicious taste of olive oil (make sure you use one with good quality). Since I am such a big fan of baking bread in my Le Creuset pot, that's what I did [...]
Wow - mixing healthy nuts and dates and you have this delicious sweet treat - amazing! We do have a treat in Scandinavia that everyone knows and it's actually called "Vaccum cleaner" (Dammsugare - Swedish) or "Tree logs" (Træstammer - Danish).

Here you have my favorite bread at the moment! This gluten and yeast free bread, full of nuts and seeds, is also called Stone Age bread or Paleo bread. I just call it a Danish nut bread because that is exactly what it is, and Danish because this kind of bread you can find everywhere [...]

You know already that I love crumble pie (Smulpaj). The last one I did was a typical Scandinavian spring/summer pie. This is more a sign of autumn - my apple crumble pie. This recipe is gluten free so everyone has the chance to try and see how delicious it is. 🙂 Ingredients (1 pie): 7 oz [...]
Today is the official cinnamon bun day! Yes, it's true. Since 1999 we have a day in Sweden called the cinnamon bun day which we celebrate by eating and baking cinnamon buns. In every bakery, social media channel, yes everywhere in Sweden today you will be reminded to eat your cinnamon bun. I guess, days [...]
I found a very inspiring recipe in a magazine when I was in Sweden a couple of weeks ago. I just had to try it out after coming back to USA, with the ingredients that I could find here. Result, sooo good! These healthy squares taste so good that you easily forget that they are [...]
