West Bothnia Cheese pie or Västerbottenost paj as we call it in Sweden. Is a must at every crayfish party. The characteristics of the West Bothnia Cheese makes it especially delicious for this pie. It’s silky smooth inside and crisp outside will make you want to eat […]
Who wouldn’t want to wake up to the smell of bakery style apple muffins? I have three apple trees in my garden. As you can imagine there is quite an overflow of apples. These apple muffins are so moist I was even surprised myself. Make a double […]
I know not everyone loves chocolate. However, after trying these chocolate toffee cookies you will be turned. They are crunchy, yet they are chewy because of the toffee. They also disappear very quickly I noticed. Last time I didn’t even have time to taste them. They were […]
I made a post on my Instagram this week about hell hour. Let’s continue down that road. Because let’s face it, school just started. We have a long way until Christmas break. Sweet potato jackets bake themselves in the oven. The topping takes about 5 […]
Shakshuka is my favourite Middle Eastern go-to meal. It’s quick, it’s very flavourful and all it takes is 20 minutes. And if you have eggs and tomato sauce you have your base. I would say that’s pretty damn perfect. Shakshuka – what? I always mispronounce […]
Hungarian plum dumplings or Szilvás gomboc as they are called in Hungarian is the epitome of my childhood. This is how my grandmother showed me her deepest love for me. And after making Hungarian plum dumplings myself I now know how deep that love went. There […]
My kids have been living out of our freezer this summer. We have an ice lolly factory in our kitchen. It has been a tropical summer in Sweden. And we are loving every minute of it. Ice lollies for breakfast anyone? These ice lollies are […]
Today I’m giving you a Hungarian summer classic, the chilled cherry soup. Nothing brings me back to my roots as much as this soup. In our family, no one really likes it, except for me and my dad. Which means more to us. It’s a really […]
With midsummer literally around the corner, I’m giving my best tips for setting any table for success. Summer is one of those seasons that will allow us to host a lot of summer parties. It allows us to sit outside and enjoy each others company […]
The cherry season has definitely begun. It seems like cherries are a bit like coriander. Either you like it or you don’t. Cherry cake seems to be what unites the camp though. Hungarian heritage Cherries are one of the best things I know. I recently discovered […]
Hi!
I'm Caroline and I'm so glad you found me!
Growing up in Scandinavia I have fallen in love with the simplicity of the Scandinavian kitchen. With a few hearty and good quality ingredients, you can create true magic in the kitchen. I'm Hungarian and of course, that shows from time to time.
I'm all about creating recipes with ingredients that are good for you.
I love to eat. I have a weakness for sweets and treats. It's all about the balance.
When I create recipes, I try to have that in mind along with seasonal choices and eat less meat.
When it comes to the health aspect - I believe it's all connected. It's not about dieting it's about being conscious of body, mind and soul.
Hope that you like hanging out with me!
Love,
Caroline
(Funnily enough, fika, in Hungarian means that you have a bat in the cave. I always thought that was funny since I’m of Hungarian descent.)
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. Fika is typically a coffee break with something sweet to eat. However, since we are fika friendly crowd I recommend a healthier version of sweet.
Taking regular breaks is also scientifically proven to help you to de-stress. It’s a lifestyle. If coffee and a treat weren’t enough for you to start your fika tradition at work, here are five other reasons.
Creamy Chanterelle soup has got to be one of the most Swedish dishes I know of. Not for nothing we call it the “forest gold” in Sweden. And that golden season is upon us. What better way to kick off the season than with a creamy, […]
Green kale salad is often referred to as something bitter and has somewhat of a bad reputation. However, all of this is about to change with this recipe. Green kale salad or green kale, in general, is packed with nutrients and essential for your gut-health. Green kale […]
Now, what’s so different about Swedish pancakes you might wonder? Well, first of all, there’s no sugar in the pancake batter at all. Secondly, they are a little bit thicker than the French crêpe. Like most Swedish foods they speak for themselves. No fuss, no […]
