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 [...]
We all know the Spanish classical Gazpacho. This red, spicy, cold soup which is perfect to serve a warm summer day. But have you tried to make it yellow? I did, and it's delicious! What I used was yellow cherry tomatoes, yellow paprika, yellow peaches and to make sure it gets yellow - the super [...]
This dish is a truly Scandinavian dish adapted to Florida. I found a sustainable sourced Rockfish fillet and have now learned that Rockfish is a broad name for over 70 variants of fish which are sometimes referred to as Snapper. The red Snapper is one of the Snapper you can find eastern Atlantic Ocean including [...]
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 [...]
I think this salad is the definition of a summer salad! You might have strawberries in all your summer dessert, but try them in a salad which you serve together with e.g. grilled meat, vegetables or fish. So easy to prepare and the red color makes it look so pretty. I use arugula in this [...]
This reminds me a lot about my childhood and my grandma. She used to bake coconut macaroons (Kokostoppar) in our summer house. The lemon flavor gives a freshness and is a perfect combination to the coconut. These cookies are gluten free and sooo delicious. I decided to dip some of them in chocolate. 🙂 Ingredients [...]
Moule marinière or mussels in white wine is something I often order when I am at a good seafood restaurant. But it's actually not difficult at all to make it at home. Also, make your own aioli and you have a fantastic meal. Ingredients (4 pers): 4 lb mussels 3 tbsp butter 5 shallots 3 [...]
I love fresh spring rolls! Fresh vegetables wrapped in rice paper - so simple, healthy and look how elegant. You find one of my recipes below, but of course you can replace some of the vegetables with your favorites. Just think about the different textures; e.g. crispy cucumber or carrot with a smooth avocado. You [...]
I love carpaccio! And by now I think you know that I also love fish. So I made a great combination with these two - Fish carpaccio. I used a fish in season now in Florida which is Grouper. But you can use another fresh fish that you prefer or is in season when you [...]
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 [...]
