On Sunday it's Kanelbullens dag, the Cinnamon bun day! Yes, we have a day for that in Sweden, that is how big part of our culture the cinnamon bun is. That doesn't mean we only eat cinnamon buns one day a year. No no no. It is just a day for eating even more of [...]
Stewed macaroni is something I grew up eating, both at home and in the school (yes, we get hot lunch served every day in the Swedish school system). And I loved it! I can't say I eat it that often anymore, but when I do, I get so many childhood memories back in my mind. [...]
This is a typical Scandinavian dish for a weekday dinner because it is easy and quick to prepare, but also delicious and elegant for a weekend dinner. The butter fried chopped egg and shrimps are just so good together with a perfect fried cod (or an other preferred white fish such as halibut or Mahi [...]
This is a very popular bread in Sweden called Hönökaka. It is like a flatbread and named after the island town Hönö in Gothenburg's northern archipelago. The bread is baked in round flat pieces, but when you buy it in Sweden, it is normally sold as half-circles. Just as with round Swedish crisp breads, the [...]
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 [...]
This is a quick bread loaf that can be done in the morning and be ready when everyone in the family is awake and wants breakfast. No planing needed, no yeast needed and no time for ferment. This is perfect for a weekend morning breakfast and reminds me about a slice of a Scandinavian breakfast [...]
Another fish meal. 😉 I just keep them coming because I love them. This is a twisted potato to it - a crispy smashed potato. That means, I boil them for 10minutes, then I smashed them with a wooden spoon, place them on an oven tray and roast them in the oven with olive oil, [...]
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 [...]
This is one of my absolute favorite summer appetizers. In just one bite, you get so many delicious flavors with a perfect mix of textures. Try this! Ingredients (4 pers.): 2 oz salty potato chips 1/4 red onion 3 tbsp sour cream 3 tsp caviar 2 tbsp fresh chopped chive Place the salty potato chips [...]
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 [...]
