❣️ Fresh Scandinavian Recipes to Try Now

Published about 11 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

You can feel the joy in these recipes!

And of course fika, the Swedish daily ritual of pausing for coffee and a sweet bite with good company, is always in season. If you haven't tried my cardamom bunsabove, you really need to. Readers love them and are often surprised at how easy they are to pull off (I take you through it step by step, and the video is such fun to watch!!)

​Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad​

"This is a delicious and refreshing salad. I spooned it over homemade croutons and called it panzanella."

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.
