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…

BAKED SWEET SPRING ROLLS WITH CREAMY EGG-FREE CUSTARD (plant-based & IQS-friendly)
I couldn’t possibly let Swedish midsummer go by without baking something seasonally appropriate. A few months ago I started making these baked spring rolls in an attempt to use up some extra filo pastry. They were an instant hit with hubby and kids alike. They’ve since made an appearance on the table at several celebrations (including…
HOMEMADE MULTI-SEED CRACKERS (my mother-in-law’s dairy/gluten-free “secret” recipe!)
I received many requests for this recipe when I first shared these crackers on Instagram, but I had to secure the go-ahead from my mother-in-law before sharing. Well, just in time for Swedish midsummer picnic time, here it is… and I promise that you will not regret giving this recipe a go! A few years ago, my…
WORLD’S EASIEST 3-INGREDIENT PLANT-BASED CAESAR DRESSING
As it says on the proverbial tin, I do believe this is the easiest alternative to a Caesar dressing you will find. I posted it on Instagram a long time ago, but pointing people to a recipe on my blog is far more convenient than directing them to “look way back in my Instagram gallery…
CREAMY VEGAN MUSHROOM PASTA (& happy belated Food Revolution Day 2016)
In celebration of Food Revolution Day 2016, I decided to revisit my favourite plant-based mushroom pasta. Topped with extra portobello mushroom slices and the most delicious herbed zesty bread crumbs, this is one creamy pasta dish that does not miss the usual dairy suspects. A few months back, inspired by the mushroom fettuccine at Jamie’s Italian (my go-to dish…
SUPER GREEN MATCHA MYLKSHAKE (+ a Food of Thrones Weeks 2 & 3 recap)
As those of you who read my previous post or follow my Instagram account know, the Game of Thrones-inspired creative food challenge known as #FoodofThrones2016 continues. And with it have come the inspired creations of connections new and old/far and wide. Instead of begrudging the week that stretches between episodes, I now genuinely look forward to seeing what others will come up with….
COCONUT CREAM FRUSHI (wholesome sweet “sushi” with fresh fruit)
I know it’s unusual and certainly far from traditional, but trust me, this frushi (or “fruit sushi”) really tastes delish! And I’m not usually a fan of “deceptive” foods (that is to say, something that looks like something it’s not), but in the case of frushi, I believe I can allow myself to be somewhat playful. If…
“SNICKERS” BAKED QUINOA PORRIDGE
Peanutty, chocolaty, gooey, comforting, surprisingly healthy (if that matters to you), arguably-better-than-Snickers breakfast deliciousness! This recipe was the result of serious pregnancy cravings for chocolate/peanuts/oats, combined with a need to use up some quinoa flakes. Don’t you just love a craving-meets-food-waste-fix combo? A perfect weekend breakfast treat for two, if you feel like sharing with someone special… or you can…
ÖVERJÄRVA GÅRD (a rural oasis close to Stockholm)
After receiving numerous requests for “local tips”, I have decided that this will be the first of a series of posts (which I’ll compile in list form on a new page) about some of my favourite places in and around Stockholm, complete with links and information that may be of use to visitors, to those with children…
BROWNIE BATTER NUT BUTTER (fudgy, chocolaty, wholesome & delicious)
As the title of this post/recipe suggests, you can expect this nut butter creation to taste like delicious fudgy, chocolate brownie batter. When I posted this on Instagram yesterday, I had many requests for the recipe. So, for all those who asked (and anyone else who may be interested), here it is… and, honestly, it’s…
