The most luscious, moist vegan chocolate layer cake made for my daughter’s almost-Valentine’s Day birthday (back in 2019). And then again for my baby boy’s birthday three weeks later. And again for my big boy’s birthday a week after that. Yes, you get the picture. My children’s birthdays are very close. And we are a little obsessed with…

VEGAN POTATO, FENNEL AND APPLE GRATIN… and some intentions for 2021
Creamy, crunchy-topped and savoury, with hints of festive sweetness and herbs, this delicious Potato, Fennel & Apple Gratin is surprisingly vegan and can be made gluten-free. You didn’t know you needed this comforting deliciousness, packed with all the comfort… until now! Before I take you to the recipe, my thoughts on the coming year (which…
VEGAN STUFFED PIZZA – an easy stromboli recipe
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…
LOADED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH ZESTY LENTIL SALAD
We might not all have the luxury of sharing food the way we used to, but when the opportunity arises to enjoy ourselves with loved ones – and that enjoyment includes something deliciously zesty, creamy, crunchy and savoury all at once – it should surely be taken. That brings me straight to this delicious, ever-so-shareable…
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…
SWEDISH "BUTTERMILK", BLÅBÄR & BLÅKLINT VEGAN LEMON LAYER CAKE (yes vegan, but you'd never know it)
If you have been here for a while, you know I love lemon cake, and thus have shared several variations over the years; from the Lemon & Poppyseed cake that made its way into my book, to my white sugar-free Lemon Loaf Cake of 5 years ago (my first baking commission!), and my Sansa Stark-inspired…
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…
SWEET POTATO NACHOS (with quinoa & bean mince)
This is what happened when my love of sweet potatoes met my love of nachos… a delicious plant-on-plant combination, that’s satisfying, protein-packed, tasty and very sharable. As sweet potatoes and quinoa featured heavily in my recent cooking workshop, I thought it would be nice to share another family favourite with a wider audience while dedicating it…
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,…
WATERMELON CELEBRATION CAKE (100% fruity fun!)
At this time last year, I was being transferred from the delivery ward to the maternity ward at SÖS. That’s right; Oliver (aka Baby Marzipan) has just turned 1. I could cry. Oh, wait. I already have! 😛 We’re celebrating the big baby milestone in Australia… in 36°C heat (thank you, Adelaide)! And there couldn’t be…
