As cafés and restaurants are off-limits for so many right now, those of us who love a good weekend brunch out surely miss having the option to enjoy one. Thankfully we can still enjoy a long breakfast or lazy brunch at home. And, in the case of this recipe, all it takes is one bowl,…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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. Unless you’ve shared the good, bad and everything in between via a blog before, you probably cannot understand the attachment I have to a place that has given me the ability to connect, express…
NO-BAKE MISSISSIPPI MUD PIE – a vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free spin on a classic chocolate treat
There is a reason why my most requested recipe of 2017 (aka, this No-Bake Mississippi Mud Pie), is only making an appearance on this blog today. I’ll get to that and the recipe in a minute (well, actually a few minutes). Today is my birthday, a day I have had mixed feelings about celebrating since…
