Swedish Chocolate Balls

Starting off the week with a Swedish dessert. It will be good foods on here this week for sure. More Thai food and also some vegan sides. Foods might change throughout the week. We’ll see! Here’s what we will need for the chocolate balls: 7 tbs butter (½ cup is 8 tbs) ½ cup sugar [...]

Chocolate Meringues & Espresso Zabaglione

Valentine’s Day is over and it’s back to regular business. As far as cooking goes that pretty much just means less desserts and more lunches and dinners. I’ll finish the weekend off (on a Monday) with another dessert though, a combo of the Saturday post. The recipes for the basic meringues and the espresso zabaglione [...]

Valentine’s Weekend: Gluten Free Swedish Crumble Dough Apple Pie

This is my favourite dessert for this weekend, so I saved it for Valentine’s Day. It’s a Swedish apple pie made with crumble dough which is really delicious. And called crumble dough for the obvious reason: It’s crumbly. It requires a bit of work but all in all this shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. [...]

Valentine’s Weekend: Grand Marnier Zabaglione

This is the first time ever I made zabaglione, or sabayon (French). I was looking around to see what I could do with my egg yolks after making meringues with the whites. I found an answer pretty quickly. And it is crazy delicious! So it’s a hot dessert so it should be served immediately after [...]

Valentine’s Weekend: Cupcake Meringues

Let’s kick off the weekend with two desserts in two different posts. Starting off with meringues. Hard whipped egg whites and sugar in perfect harmony. The blend: 2 egg whites ½ cup of sugar Make sure your eggs are room temperature, or leave them out of the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will allow [...]

Summerlicious

Summer is getting closer, its already in the 60s outside and there’s not a single cloud in the sky. It’s beautiful outside. Unfortunately we don’t have a nice backyard so I had to serve the strawberry dish inside. Looks good huh ^___^ Just chopped up some strawberries, maybe 5-8 big ones. Poured them into a [...]

Pizza With Shrimp

American style dough and European style toppings, but American style amounts :P (so much for “less is more”, haha) Its a fairly simple recipe :) (This recipe easily serve 4-6 people) Ingredients: 3 cups of bread flour 1 package of dry active yeast (the recipe I did said 1/4 oz but I used 5/16 oz [...]

Fruit Juice Extract

Something that is really common in Sweden is “saft”, a fruit juice concentrate which is mixed into water. Usually 1/10 juice extract and rest water. I hadn’t had it in so long and I remembered I had seen it at IKEA and got a real urge to make it. I took all the fresh berries [...]

Exploding Raisins!

Although I measure everything in metric so might be a little bit complicated anyway. First off melt about 200g of butter (that’s 26g less than 2 quarts) when all melted pour over 2dl of sugar and mix until smooth. In another bowl mix about half a liter of flour (I used oat flour and it [...]

Finnish Pulla & Swedish Vanilla Buns

I’ve wanted to bake bread for a long time and last night I finally got to do it, I looked around for a good recipe, found one. OH WAIT, it was a no knead recipe which apparently means you have to let it sit for 12-18 hours. So after I had bought ingredients for the [...]
