Hi there, is Wednesday again and today I’m posting from a slightly different part of Sweden. I’m currently sitting on the floor of a hotel-room in Kalmar, a small town in the south-east of Sweden, after eating my third Christmas-table in the same amount of days. The city is small but really cosy and all the…

TEX MEX BRUNCH EGGS
This weekend I participated in a ‘race’ called Äppelloppet or ‘the apple run’ arranged by local merchandisers. I can’t say I ran that much, or to be honest, not a single step was taken in a running motion – my back doesn’t really allow such fast movements so I decided to walk instead. And I’m…
CHEATERS PRETZEL BITES w/ CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE
With me having a degree and some working experience in the pastry-field one could suspect that I have a sweet tooth. But no, I’m a savory girl (except when it comes to After Eights, never leave me alone with a box. I tell you, both you and me will regret it later). But recently I’ve discovered…
TURMERIC ROASTED CAULIFLOWER w/ DATES AND ALMONDS
I had such big plans for this weekend accompanied by a to-do list of the longer kind. And it went so well to start with. Monday was one of those super-productive ways and I woke up on Tuesday feeling like a boss. Then I got a minor headache at my lecture, and to be honest,…
PARMESAN CRUSTED QUICHE w/ CAPER BERRIES AND SUN DRIED TOMATOES
I just landed in my own couch again after 24 great hours at Visingsö and my parents. My hands are seriously stained from all the berries I’ve been picking today – raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, three colors of currant and gooseberries that will be going into my freezer for later use. Each and every one of…
GRUYÈRE AND OREGANO BISCUITS
The Swedish summer haven’t been the sunniest one so far but today summer came to town again after a month of terrible weather. We had around 10-15 degrees and rain all last week but today it’s all bright blue skies. It feels like the Sweden wakes up whenever the sun is out, on my morning…
STINGING NETTLE PESTO + HOW TO PICK AND PREPARE NETTLES
So, how do you pick and prepare stinging nettles to transform them from those stinging plants you spent your whole childhood avoiding to green, super healthy and tasty food? It’s honestly not that hard. Firstly, you will need something to pick them in. I used a 5L plastic bag but it would probably be better if…
BEETROOT AND DILL HOUMOUS
Well Hello there, how are you? Long time no see, I got a bit caught up in the exam preparations to say the least. But now I´m finally finished and summer is officially here! Both exams felt like they went really well – even though I was so nervous for the first one I couldn’t eat my breakfast and almost not…
HALLOUMI WRAPS
To sum up what have been going on so far this week – exam studying. That is basically it. I feel like this most boring person on earth right now. I wake up and put on sweatpants and Marcus old HV71 sweater from -95 and then I make a cup of coffee, gather up my notes…
PARMESAN FILLED BUTTNERNUT SQUASH
Firstly, Hi there if you are new here! Iv’e been having a lot more visitors lately and I can see that I have Fanny Staaf to thank for all of you wonderful people clicking onto my blog. Hope you will like it here and decide to stick around! And go and klick on her blog if…
SAFFRON-VANILLA BRAISED FENNEL
I´m not really sure what happened to the nice weather here, it´s been 6 degrees and pouring down rain for the last couple of days. Not really my cup of tea if I´m honest. But it’s probably better for my schoolwork since I just stay in and write all day instead of being out in the sun. Yesterday I…
ASIAN FLAVORED EMPANADAS
It’s 7 here in Sweden and I just woke up after a 2 hour “after-school-nap”- my last lecturer just killed me with his packed full PowerPoint slides about business ethics so I needed a rest. Now I have some pork belly in the oven and I can´t wait to take it out because the smell…
