Inspired by Italian stromboli, this surprisingly simple vegan stuffed pizza is a meal and a treat in one. Served hot with warm tomato sauce or even cold as a snack or lunchbox meal, it’s plant-based comfort food that’s convenient, easy, impressive and, most importantly, tasty. This stuffed pizza is packed with flavour, but uses non-traditional…

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…
MY BEST VEGAN ROASTED POTATO SALAD- perfect served warm!
Swedish midsummer has now passed, and with its ending, a slight melancholic feeling always comes over me. I am slower to embrace seasonal changes than most people I know. Particularly when those changes will, in due course, involve darkening days and many, many more layers of cumbersome clothing. In any case, seasonal produce in Sweden…
VEGAN THAI-INSPIRED (NO)MEATBALLS- quick, easy & flavour-packed
Do you ever borrow from your own recipes to create new ones? That’s basically what’s happened here. Currently hooked as we are on the Panang curry flavours of our go-to tofu dish, I decided to amalgamate them with a plant-based take on Sweden’s most iconic husmanskost meal; meatballs! This incredibly snappy (20 minutes or so…
PRETTY-IN-PINK SEMLOR (Swedish cream buns, with a vegan twist & extra bling)
This time of year is one of celebration, with Shrove Tuesday, Valentine’s Day and the Lunar New Year knocking at each other’s doors, not to mention all three of our children celebrating birthdays within a one-month period (the first being our pink-obsessed little Lillian). The lazy girl in me has responded to the call to…
POTATO & RED PESTO PIZZETTAS WITH ROCKET
Short on time? I empathise! So here’s a short post and a quick recipe. Yes, I am back with another pizzetta variation. And once again the recipe title probably suggests this isn’t pizza in any traditional sense. But if you’re on the search for something tasty, simple and a little different, why not give it…
CINNAMON & WALNUT BUNS (a vegan, refined sugar-free take on the Swedish Classic)
And I am back with another belated recipe share! This time it’s the Swedish fika favourite: cinnamon buns. But these are not made of the same buttery dough as the original, more commonly known kind. In fact, they are dairy-free. And if that’s not enough of a departure from the classic variety, these ones are also refined sugar-free….
HOMEMADE MULTI-SEED CRACKERS (my mother-in-law’s dairy/gluten-free “secret” recipe!)
I received many requests for this recipe when I first shared these crackers on Instagram, but I had to secure the go-ahead from my mother-in-law before sharing. Well, just in time for Swedish midsummer picnic time, here it is… and I promise that you will not regret giving this recipe a go! A few years ago, my…
EASY, HEALTHY APPLE CHIPS (no dehydrator or sugar required!)
So incredibly easy, these apple chips don’t require a dehydrator or sugar. I love them, my kids love them, they’re healthy and, honestly, they beat any store-bought apple chips I have ever tried. The batch you see in the images here were made from apples we picked as a family from our friends’ mini orchard, north…
PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA & CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLES (vegan, gluten-free, IQS-friendly)
For Cupcake’s 2nd birthday party “waffle bar”, I created a banoffee waffle recipe and, in the process, discovered the perfect way to use up that odd soon-to-be-overripe sad, lone banana sitting oft to be found on the kitchen countertop. I have yet to share that recipe (which is one of my all-time favourites!), but on the 25th of…
