Triple Chocolate Mocha Cake

It is finally here! The recipe for my Triple Chocolate Mocha cake. As promised. I think we have established that I am a chocolate lover by now. How can anyone not be? Chocolate is creamy, velvety, silky, melty, ooey and gooey. Chocolate doesn’t ask questions. Chocolate give answers. And the […]

Vegan Macarons

Macarons have been in the hot seat for some time now, so I figured it was time for me to join the party. And there’s a good reason they are so popular. They can be filled with almost anything, they are super pretty and delicious. They can be used as […]

Solbullar

One of my absolute biggest weaknesses in life are baked goods, especially anything that starts out as a dough. These buns are the softest buns I’ve ever made, and the last time I made them my husband ended up eating an entire tray on his own. Off the record of […]

Tekakor

The direct translation of this staple Swedish bread, would be “teacakes”, but there is nothing cake about them. It is simply really soft, flat rolls. As with any traditional recipe that goes back a long time, there are many variations of it. So, what makes it a tekaka you may […]

Quinoa Filled Sweet Pepper Boats

I love vegetarian dishes. Meat is great, but veggies can sing so many more notes. Besides that I prefer eating food that is as natural as possible, and what is more natural than unprocessed, fresh produce. Our bodies love it! If you are keeping a vegetarian diet, or just replacing […]

Chorizo Brie and Red Pepper Frittata

Frittata may not be the newest kid on the block, but this Italian classic is such a comfort dish for either breakfast, brunch and lunch. And it is so versatile too. You can really just throw anything you have in the fridge into it. Thanks to it’s versatility, it can […]

Lamb Filled Flatbread Parcels

These soft pouches, filled with slow cooked lamb shank, are perfect for any picnic or just a Friday evening movie night snack. We need to jazz things up from the normal pizza night now and then, right? And basically, these could just as easily be labelled mini pizza parcels. They […]

Salted Toffee and Chocolate Tart

I’m not gonna lie. This is one of my sweeter recipes. I normally run fast and far away from anything containing condensed milk, but I’ve added the salted element to balance it out. I love salted toffee and it really does help balance the sweetness out. So does the dark […]

Mocha Cream Cheese Brownies

Did someone say brownies? Count me in! Baking does not have to be rocket science. This is a very straight forward, easy recipe that will have your guests (if you care to share) begging for the recipe. Me and my friends baked a lot in our teen years. It’s what […]

Quick Ciabatta

Ciabatta is one of those breads that goes with anything and everything. And while traditional ciabatta is made with sourdough, which makes it a fairly time consuming process, this one is not. Most people don’t have that kind of time to spare just to get a delicious, soft and chewy […]
