Cod with egg and caviar is common in the Scandinavian cuisine. I made a sourdough toast the other day where I quickly steamed a cod fillet, boiled eggs and made a sauce based on sour cream and caviar. This is a fresh, creamy and easy dish that reminds me a lot of a summer lunch [...]
Potato salad is a very common side dish in Sweden. Most often it's part of the bbq dinner in the summer. This is perfect to prepare if you have some left over potatoes from last night's dinner. This is a creamy salad with crispiness and taste from onion, capers and dill. I decided to serve [...]

Today on March 25 is the Scandinavian Waffle Day! I have learned that in USA, the Waffle Day is August 24. But to celebrate today, I have made a waffle served with something we are very proud of and love in Sweden - our cloudberries. They are closely related to raspberries, look like small blackberries [...]
