Hasselbat potatoes and a mean kidney dip
Everyone loves a good dip, right? This mean kidney dip was not only hit on the Halloween table, but this mean kidney dip goes well with the Scandinavian Friday tacos too. It disappeared quickly from the table at our house. And you will love how easy it is to make. If you want to make it with non-canned kidney beans, just remember to soak them overnight. I prefer to cook my own beans, but it takes a lot longer. If you use canned ones, just make sure you rinse the beans well before using them. This mean kidney dip is a bit spicy, but you can, of course, use more or less chilli. Some like…

Avocado chocolate mousse
To be honest, when I first heard Avocado chocolate mousse, I was sceptical. I love, love, love chocolate, did I mention that I love chocolate? Anyway, I didn’t think there was an easy and healthy way around chocolate mousse. Turns out, I was wrong. This Avocado chocolate mousse is scrumptious. You can’t taste the avocado at all. This particular avocado that I used from Gram is even sweet. I have never heard of it before and I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s creamy, airy and has the perfect texture really. I didn’t want to add sugar to this, so I used dates as a sweetener, but really ripe bananas tend to also be…

Savoury pancakes with chanterelle
Savoury pancakes with chantarelle are easy to make, they are glutenfree and versatile! School is now back in full gear and in Sweden is almost time for the autumnal break. This usually gives me a little food angst. Kids home all day, hungry! In Sweden, we are lucky enough to have served qualitative lunch at school every day. This takes some of the pressure off. We don’t have to pack lunch boxes for our kids and most schools have decent food. But we all have the same problem after school, making dinner. The hour between getting home and until dinner is served is called the hell hour for a reason. Everyone, including myself, is…

Overnight bircher with apples
This overnight bircher with apples has become a typical breakfast in Sweden. It’s a cold, tart healthy and keeps you full. The best part is that it’s ”cooked” overnight and ready for you to devour in the morning. The overnight bircher with apples is not as new as one might think. It was invited by the Swiss doctor Bircher, who tried to get his institutionalized patients to eat more raw fruit. Since a lot of people confuse Sweden with Switzerland, I now claim this recipe as Swedish. Easy does it This is truly one of my favourite recipes to make. I usually make a bigger batch that will last me the whole week. In my experience,…

Crisp carrot salad – to go with any dish
Crisp carrot salad you say? That goes well with most dished? Yes! Do you ever wish for a little side salad that’s quick to make and it’s not just your usual sliced vegetables? Then this salad is for you. It’s quick, it’s sliced, but with a twist! I don’t know about you, but I always have a bag of carrots in the fridge. And I’m a little sick to either just grate them or make them into carrots sticks. Wich, of course, is not bad, however, I needed something new. The twist in this salad is the spicy ginger and the apple cider vinegar that gives this crisp carrot salad a stingy and…
