VEGAN JANSSONS FRESTELSE – savoury potato bake, inspired by the Swedish classic… and some thoughts on 2020
Crispy, crumbed topping meets creamy, savoury potato deliciousness. Could this be the perfect side dish? Maybe. And if not, if comes very, very close! Before I take you through to the easy recipe, I want to acknowledge the fact that it is New Year’s Day, 2020. And as I sit here and type the words…
RESTAURANT FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY AND STYLING TIPS – behind the scenes with Paul Lindqvist and Marisa Alvarsson
It is said that we eat with our eyes first, but what exactly makes a restaurant dish visually appealing? The plating and general presentation do, of course.

CARAMELISED FIG SKILLET PIZZA-STYLE PANCAKES + farewell to this blog + a journey from an anonymous food blog to cookbook, part 1
It is with a very sentimental and somewhat heavy heart that I announce the impending closure of this particular blog chapter.

2017: LET’S DO THIS & DO IT WELL! (my annual visualisation mood board)
In amongst the cooking prep in our brand new place, the study (new for 2016), the content creation work (also new for 2016) and being with all three children (yep, another gift of 2016) there’s been one big thing on my mind over the past two days; setting my intentions (or #goals, if you will)…
PEPPERMINT & STRAWBERRY CHOCOLATE BARK (a revamped version of an old classic!)
Firstly, much love and warm Christmas wishes to all those celebrating today! Over 4 years ago (I cannot believe it was so long ago!) I posted a recipe on this very blog for homemade Peppermint Chocolate Bark after seeing the famous Williams Sonoma original all over the internet and several variations of DIY “imitations” on Pinterest. Interestingly,…
WELLNESS & WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY with featured holistic nutritionist & intrepid traveller, Lana Jankovic
JUST GO! If holistic nutritionist and passionate life-lover, Lana Jankovic, doesn’t inspire you to want to step away from your computer, venture out into the wilderness and embrace whatever comes your way, I am not sure who will.
