I’ve only recently come to like kale. Growing up, the only time I ever saw it was as an unappetizing dish (“långkål”) on Swedish Christmas smorgasbords and never even considered eating it. But thanks (again) to my extremely health conscious friend, R, I’ve given it a second chance. R is often on a raw diet (by [...] This recipe is based on the Chickpea Salad With Halloumi I wrote about earlier this summer. I was trying to come up with a yummy dip for veggies and thought why not try to do something with the chickpea mix from that recipe, since it’s so good I can eat it as is out of [...] I love chickpeas and eat them several times a week. They are not only tasty, they are so good for you: full of fiber, protein, folate, calcium, etc. I’m always trying to come up with new ideas for how to use them, and in this version, they are starring alongside halloumi, that fabulous cheese from Cyprus that [...] I have certain favorite ice cream flavors which you can easily find in Sweden but that I have not been able to find here, so last summer, I thought I’d take matters into my own hands and make my own ice cream instead.

In Sweden, we like to throw everything we can get our hands on on a piece of pizza dough (a slight exaggeration). While you certainly can [...] Happy Valborg! Today is Valborgsmassoafton, an old pagan tradition, and in Sweden, people celebrate with bonfires, singing, and dinner parties. The fires are to scare off witches and evil spirits, the songs are all about saying goodbye to winter and welcoming spring, and the dinner parties… well, they’re what dinner parties always are – hanging [...] My go to meal when I’m exhausted, hungry and just can’t fit cooking into my schedule. Broccoli Sometimes, I like to cook. Most of the time, I don’t. Even when I like to cook, I’m pretty lazy, and won’t bother with any recipe that has too many ingredients. I went through a phase of loving to cook that lasted several years, and during that time, I invented some dishes that have become [...] |
