JANUARY LOVES

Today I’m gathering up some of those things I found in January that made my heart beat a bit extra. Amazing recipes, cute chickens and beautiful pictures, all mashed together. The Tropézienne Tart by La Tarte Tropézienne. Brioche with Cream au Beurre (or buttercremé) and orange blossom, how great does that sound? This is just perfection. And one more sweet…

LOVE-YUMMIES or KÄRLEKSMUMS

So, were almost done with January. Its been a great month for me – I guess having some time off is great but I believe I feel better when having some daily routines. I’ve really gotten into yoga (once again) and I really can’t understand why I stopped. It makes a lot of difference in how…

SAFFRON-ORANGE CHICKEN w/ POMEGRANATE

In true Swedish spirit I’ll start this post by talking a bit about the weather. All the snow is gone and now it almost feels like spring all over again. All the snow just disappeared over one night and I’m so sad. I love winter and the snow just makes everything look so much prettier…

5 STRANGE SWEDISH PHENOMENA

So today I decided that I wanted to share some of those strange Swedish behaviors/phenomenas that makes us Swedes just Swedes. The funny thing is that I didn’t even thought that much about how we are until I started an international university with people constantly reminding me about all those strange behaviors that we have….

LEMON FIZZ SMOOTHIEBOWL

Yey! It’s already Friday and I couldn’t be more excited. I have a great weekend to look forward to – tonight I’m going to try the new Mexican place here in Jönköping and tomorrow its tapas-time with movies with my best friend. It’s going to be great! This is an old favorite of mine, I…

MOZZARELLA MEATBALLS

I´m back at Uni once again and gosh my head is tired! The start-up lectures are doomed to be heavy for the brain but these seem to be though ones. This term (I do four each term) I´m taking Management accounting and Macroeconomic principles, so interesting but hard. Only the textbooks weigh over 5 kg together… I’m…

THE GREATEST CANDYSHOP + HOW SWEDES SHOP FOR CANDY

Just a small tip, if ever visiting Gothenburg pay this candyshop a visit, its epic! They call themselves “4gott” and I think they have three stores around Gothenburg but I’ve only been to the one at Östra Hamngatan 5 just outside the centralstation. I always joke about getting diabetes just by breathing in the air in…

PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE STARS

Today it’s the coldest day so far this year, about -16 degrees to be exact. That means a really cold nose as soon you step outside, but the air is incredible crisp and the sun is shining so I can’t really complain. So, this recipe is a good one; its a cross between a brownie and a cookie…

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD GRANOLA

January is a stressful month – from nowhere you are supposed to go back to normal after the holidays, the amazing indulgent food and all netflix-movies. Its also that time of the year when people go crazy over salads, workouts and all insane diets that are out there. I start 2016 doing what I’ve always been…

JANSONS TEMPTATION or JANSONS FRESTELSE

Oh, this winter is killing me – I live in a house from the early 19th century and I can’t say that isolation was a big thing then. We have been having around -10 degrees outside and 16 degrees inside the last couple of days. Layers after layers of blankets together with a massive cup of tea…

HONEY&THYME ROASTED SALSIFY

My really small, french culinary-school teacher (I loved this teacher – not only because he had amazing skills he were so incredible french you almost thought he was faking it) called salsify “poor mans asparagus” and I think thats really clever, because it has the subtile flavors of white asparagus without breaking the bank. They look kind…

PICKLED HERRING or SILL

How have your 2016 been so far? My year have started off on the calm note – with days spent in my PJs most of the time, my face haven’t been near any makeup and I have watched tones of movies, WJHC and reading books I forgotten I ever bought. It have been so nice…
