This fish stew is a quick, healthy and delicious meal for the whole family. Stew is something we do a lot in the Scandinavian kitchen this time of the year. It's very simple and you can vary without any limits. You can use my recipe has a base, and then you can vary with e.g. [...]
The Hasselback potato dish is a Swedish classic dish, which I have written about before. This time, I have used the same technique as for the potatoes, but with red beets instead. The oven baked red beets get really tender and crispy. I serve it with a perfectly grilled beef tenderloin and a creamy sauce [...]
Beef croquette (or ”Järpar” in Swedish) is a common autumn dish in Scandinavia. Traditionally you use ground beef, but it’s also very common with lamb, veal or chicken. When you grow up in Sweden, I’m 100% sure you have been served Beef croquettes for lunch in school. We normally serve the croquettes with mashed potatoes, [...]
This is a favorite fish meal for me. The salty bacon and the sun dried tomatoes add so much flavor to this dish. The potatoes are just pressed through a potatoes presser normally used when making mashed potatoes. But here, you get an airy, light potato dish which is delicious with some caramelized butter giving [...]
Sunday dinner. Or what day that works for you - dinner. My grandma always did Sunday dinner to something special. I know many cultures and families still have that tradition. I can say that we don't. Normally Saturday is the day in the week where we spend extra time in the kitchen. But that doesn't [...]
I love ceviche. But I also know it's many (not Scandinavians) who don't really like raw fish. Actually, it's not raw fish in ceviche since it's been cured in fresh citrus juices. But I know, it feels like raw fish. But the dish is just amazing and I thought of giving this flavors and taste [...]
We eat a lot of potatoes during the summer. I love simple boil summer potatoes, but then preferable with herring, sour cream and chive. Otherwise I like to make something else out of the potatoes. To roast them, or a gratin or mashed potatoes. This dish is a simple dish with roasted potatoes, carrots and [...]
This is a perfect summer dish and reminds me a lot of Swedish summer with traditional Swedish "färsk potatis" (the special summer potatoes). I have roasted the potatoes in butter, garlic and fresh rosemary from my garden. The drumsticks are marinated with a rosemary and oregano marinade, which gets the saltiness from soy sauce and [...]
The basil in my garden is growing and growing. I have so much basil and try to eat some basil every day. 😉 I have one sort that has a bit of anise taste. Do you know which sort that is? I also have traditional basil, which I have use in this salad. This is [...]
Don't let the name of the dish scare you. I didn't know what a Sheepshead fish was just a couple of months ago. Since some of my friends here in Florida are fish experts and are so nice and provide me with both knowledge and delicious fishes, I also get the opportunity to cook with [...]
