It’s that time of year again; Shrove Tuesday, hot on the heels of Valentine’s Day and the Lunar New Year. Of course, what we all need is more celebratory food. Filled with copious amounts of cream, ideally. Well, Swedish cream buns – or semlor – are here to cater to your sweet-toothed whims. This recipe…

A delicious, simple, summery mugcake for one, that makes a perfect lazy afternoon tea treat or dessert in a flash. Try serving it dressed up with a scoop of oat ice-cream or a dollop of coconut yogurt. It’s delicately spiced, moist, peachy fragrant and fruity… and it takes just a couple of minutes to make!…
KALE, PESTO & CHEESE PINWHEEL SCROLLS – tasty, savoury, vegan treats
I hope nobody objects to me throwing another recipe in your direction so soon after the last one, but 1) this one is too good to not share 2) I am making a conscious effort to share things in a timely manner! What can you expect if you make these pretty pinwheels? Flaky, savoury, cheese…
CREAMY VEGAN MUSHROOM RISOTTO- with roasted butternut squash and portobellos
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…
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…
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,…
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,…
EASY CHOCOLATE ORANGE BARK (a low-sugar alternative to Lindt Intense Orange)
A few weeks back, feeling like something a little more adventurous than my usual daily dose of plain dark chocolate, I decided to check out Lindt Intense Orange. The 85%-90% Lindt varieties are a staple in my home, so I have nothing against the brand, but was rather shocked to find that Lindt Intense Orange contains…
BAKED APPLE PIE SPRING ROLLS
This classic apple pie flavoured version of my dessert spring rolls is sure to please, regardless of the climate you happen to find yourself in right now. If you’re currently enjoying the warmth of summer, I recommend serving these with ice-cream (we had the exact spring rolls pictured with tofu vanilla ice-cream). And if you’re trying to stay cosy as…
