By popular request, and in time for Halloween 2020, I bring you the English language version of a whimsical, tasty recipe that falls on the wholesome side of the Halloween treat spectrum. I created these happy little jack-o’-lantern sandwiches for a project I worked on with one of my clients, Friggs. This is not a…

HERB & FLOWER VEGAN CHEESE BALLS – pretty summer snacks with fresh herbs & edible flowers
Midsummer approaches, it is raining in Stockholm (as is common/expected at this time of year) and my thoughts are divided amongst many things; the state of the world, my family, the notion that we should probably celebrate midsummer in some small way, even though it doesn’t quite seem the time to be celebrating. This year…
EASTER EGG DOUGHNUT NESTS- easy vegan, gluten-free decorated chocolate cake doughnuts
Before this Easter weekend officially draws to a close, I want to share the recipe for our homemade Easter treat this year. For the record, we ate several treats that were not homemade and definitely not what you could consider “wholesome”, but these particular doughnuts (or donuts, if you prefer) can absolutely be made as…
VEGAN SUGAR & SPICE BUNS- cardamom, cinnamon, Swedish inspiration + a spoonful of comfort
I recently mentioned an exercise I did many years ago, which involved drawing a line down the centre of a sheet of paper, dividing it into two columns. In one column I wrote a list of all of the things I had control over, and in the other a list of all of the things…
2018: HERE’S TO A GOOD YEAR! (my annual visualisation mood board)
Despite feeling too tired to write coherently just now, my annual New Year’s ritual (which also includes meditation) would not be complete without the creation and sharing of a vision board. 2017 was a huge year in every way for us; big overseas trips, massive personal and professional changes, great new opportunities. If I’d ever…
REFLECTIONS ON CONNECTICUT (food, images, gratitude… with a side of Cowboy Caviar)
It’s safe to say we’ve travelled more this year than we ordinarily do (and we ordinarily travel quite a lot!). From our several thousand-kilometer Aussie road trip, to our last Royal Caribbean cruise in the Bahamas, and our most recent trips to Swedish Storsjön and Turku in Finland, it’s been a year of discovery… both internal…

CHOCOLATE KNICKERBOCKER GLORY WITH NECTARINES & A SESAME WAFER a new plant-based spin on an old tradition
We’re welcoming the warmer weather here in Sweden with this somewhat healthier spin on an old-fashioned British treat. If you’re not from the UK or familiar with the term Knickerbocker Glory, you’ll no doubt be curious as to what kind of concoction it is. Supposedly invented somewhere down by the English seashore in the 1930s,…
WELLNESS & WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY with professional travel photographer, Søren Thuesen
A VIEW LESS ORDINARY A conversation with creative explorer, Søren Thuesen, aka s1000 With his eye for incredible composition and tone, Søren has been among my favourite travel photographers since I first came across his work on Instagram. His captivating imagery seems born of an intuitive understanding of the visual impact of scale, geometry, line…
PANCAKE CAKE (with whipped coconut cream & banana)
As I sit here and type these words, I find myself feeling nostalgic about last Christmas already. Less than a month ago, on Christmas Day, my family and I enjoyed this very Pancake Cake as part of a lazy brunch that lasted literally half the day. 24 days into 2017 and aspects of my New Year’s…
