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…

ONE-BOWL ORANGE JUICE & POPPY SEED CAKE – vegan, refined sugar-free, gf option
By popular request, I am sharing this luscious, super-easy, light-enough-for-breakfast cake recipe (in both Swedish and English) here, as it appeared on my Instagram stories the other day for a 24-hour period only. All it takes is one bowl, a handful of ingredients, a small amount of prep and just 30 minutes in the oven,…
EASTER EGG DOUGHNUT NESTS- easy vegan, gluten-free decorated chocolate cake doughnuts
Before this Easter weekend officially draws to a close, I want to share the recipe for our homemade Easter treat this year. For the record, we ate several treats that were not homemade and definitely not what you could consider “wholesome”, but these particular doughnuts (or donuts, if you prefer) can absolutely be made as…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
GRILLED NECTARINE & AVOCADO PIZZETTAS (and some reflections on anxiety)
As summer creeps back in (thank you, Sweden*!), it’s time to celebrate with family, friends and perfectly summery festive food! These pizzettas are a take on my popular Nectarine & Avocado Toasties of a couple of years back. Made simply with Mexican pita breads and cashew cheese, they’re a light, simple lunch or wholesome addition to your…
PEACH & STRAWBERRY MUFFIN BAKED OATS (+ a couple of foodie reflections on Byron Bay)
Firstly, a Happy Easter Monday to all who are celebrating! The recipe that follows below is simple, delicious breakfast treat; one that definitely errs on the side of wholesome in the midst of chocolate-drenched April. Secondly, I apologise in advance if the next few posts I write defy the laws of chronology, but such is life…
