ROASTED PEPPER AND BRUSSEL SPROUT PASTA w/ BLACK GARLIC

How was everyone’s Christmas? I had an amazing time with both of my families. Loads of good food, laugher and quality time on the sofa and now I’m enjoying the ‘middle-days’ to rest up and digest some food before NYE. Haha. A couple of weeks ago my mom started talking about this black garlic. Black…

CARROT AND HALLOUMI PATTIES (VEG)

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…

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,…

SALAD w/ ROASTED PLUMS & SAVORY GRANOLA

I’m so incredible fortuned to having the upbringing I’ve had. Not only having an amazing family but also growing up far on the countryside far away from pollution, concrete and city-life. Sure, I hated it to bits as a teenager stuck on an island with a ferry that sometimes got canceled because of wind. But…

QUINOA RISOTTO w/ CHANTERELLES AND POMEGRANATE

You know that morning you step outside the door and meet the first chilly breeze of the season? This morning was THAT morning. The first morning of autumn and I was a bit too exited. To me autumn is the best. It’s change in the air and I could do whatever I want with the new…

KIWI AND QUINOA SALAD

Today it is officially the first day of my vacation, yeey! I’ve had such a great time being back at work but it still feels nice to finally have some time off and then start living my ‘real’ life again. So today I decided to ignore my whole to-do list and listen to multiple podcasts, watch my cat sleep…

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…

GREEN PEA FRITTERS w/LEMON TAHINI DRESSING

I have had the clumsiest week in history. It all began with that headstand. I have just learned how to make them without a wall, so I was upside down trying to stay that way. Then I sneezed. Suddenly I was laying on the floor, face down and a nose that hurt. Then it was just downhill from that –…

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…
