welcome to my blog about food, flowers and other things that make me happy.

Rånepepparkakor or ginger bisquits from Råneå
These spicy ginger bisquits from Råneå originates from a bakery in the small village far up north in Sweden where I lived as a child. It’s a version of the classic Swedish gingerbread called Pepparkakor.

julköttbullar or meatballs for christmas
This year my meatballs are flavoured with salsiccia, parsley and cognac. In Sweden we eat meatballs all year around, but still they have a special place on the Christmas smorgasbord.
sweet saffron wreath filled with pistachio butter
We celebrated the second Sunday of advent with a lovely saffron wreath filled with a pistachio butter. The dough was made with locally grown saffron (!!!) and I added plenty of filling so it turned out really delicious!

sea salt & Pistachio caramels
I love the combination of sweet, salty and crunchy. These caramels have the perfect combo of them all.

Rosehip cocktail
A lovely cocktail made with rosehip infused Gin, rosehip cordial and prosecco.
