This is a simple summer dessert, and delish! We normally have it after a bbq when the grill has been used for the entrée as well. The cinnamon is perfect to the sweet and caramelized pineapple. Serve it with a creamy vanilla ice cream and you have a perfect summer dessert for the whole family. [...]
Home made meringue is so easy to make and deeeelicious. I like to make them quite big and rather cross them into smaller pieces. The bigger ones look better and they get this great texture with a hard, shaky outside and a chewy inside. I love to flavor the meringues and this time half of [...]
I am from the Swedish province "Småland" which is famous for many different things (IKEA was actually founded in Småland, Sweden). When it come to food, the Swedish "cheesecake" or curd cake is from Småland. A Swedish curd cake, is not to mix up with an American cheese cake. Our traditional curd cake has a [...]
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 [...]
This is Norway to me. The Norwegian "Lefse" is a flatbread made of potatoes. It's a big part of Norwegian food heritage but still very common today. I have already told you how sporty I think the Norwegians are, and this is a perfect snack they bring to their sport events. What I love with this [...]
We preserve a lot in Scandinavia. That is a very traditional way of store our food due to cold and long winters. But is has also given a traditional taste to the Scandinavian cuisine. I remember my mom taking me with her to collect blueberries or strawberries. Most of them we ate fresh, but with [...]
My lovely neighbour Bonna came over with plums and peaches from her own garden the other day. I ate some of them directly, but I also decided to make jam and chutney. This is very typical technique in Scandinavia that has a long history in our cuisine - to preserve the fruits. Not only to extend [...]
Pavlova is one of my favorites. This ballerina dessert (named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova) has a crisp crust made of meringue and a soft, light inside made of a lemon curd and topped with some whipped cream and fresh raspberries and blueberries. It's really simple to bake and if you haven't finished it [...]
I guess many of you already heard about the basic concept of nice cream - the name for something that reminds us of ice cream but with healthy ingredients. In my recipe below I have made it really simple using frozen bananas. Nice cream is the perfect summer snack when you want something healthy instead [...]
Today we have really nice and warm Spring weather in Florida (read Swedish Summer weather) which made me bake a typical Swedish Summer dessert - "Smulpaj" which can be translated as crumble pie. But it's not so heavy as an American dessert pie. The crumbles are made from oat, flour, sugar and butter which is [...]
