I first posted a version of this family favourite recipe – originally shared with me by my mamma – on my Instagram account 5 or 6 years ago. It is almost unfathomable to think I have been using that platform for so long. And almost as unbelievable that, despite my intention even then to share…

BRUSSELS AND BEETS PIZZA- gluten-free, vegan, delicious (+ an update on Oliver)
I never could have imagined when I posted my last blog entry, that literally minutes later Oliver would be on his way back to the hospital. Nor could I have imagined that it would take yet another trip to the hospital on top of that to discover that his appendix had ruptured. As I type…
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…
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…
VEGAN CRISPY TOFU PANANG (PHANAENG) RED CURRY WITH RICE NOODLES- salty, sour, sweet, satisfying & gluten-free
Returning to Stockholm to be greeted by this dish – as cooked by my husband – is basically receiving the ultimate “Welcome home!” exclamation in food form. After a whirlwind magical content creation + exploration trip to Miami, CocoCay and Nassau (more on that soon. Thank you Joyce and Royal Caribbean!), followed by considerably less…
VERMICELLI ALLA MARINARA – a classic dish from Campania in memory of Chef Silvio
It’s been a hot minute since I shared a recipe here, and it is with bittersweet tidings that I return to you with this one; a deliciously simple and evocative Italian dish in honour of a true Italian food legend. As 2017 began, we finished up a week of filming in Connecticut at the Overabove…
ALL-VEG EDAMAME PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO, KALE & OLIVE SAUCE (gluten-free, 100% plant-based)… and a work-life update
Before we get to this most simple and tasty of pasta recipes, I want to chat about a couple of things (skip ahead if this bores you, I don’t mind!). Firstly, I have been sadly absent here for far too long. As always, when I am away from this blog for any length of time,…
SPICED CHICKPEA & KALE AVOCADO TOAST
I am not a fan of New Year’s ‘detoxing’, dieting… or even resolutions, for that matter. I do, however, like to eat in a balanced way that’s sustainable year-round, and for me that means eating lots of plants (or greens, if you will)! I don’t tend to go avocado crazy around this time of year,…
SEASONED OVEN ROASTED POTATOES- easy, comforting & absolutely delicious
When I was little, roast potatoes were probably the thing I most looked forward to seeing appear on the family dining table (well, other than sweets!). To this day, I still believe that nothing beats my mum’s version of roast potatoes, however these come a close second in my estimation. My children love them too….
