The festive season is firmly behind us, my sons have returned to their homes and I have been left with some, (not much) leftovers in my fridge. I don’t know about you but I hate to throw any food away, I have to do something with the odds and ends in my fridge. I catered…
Breakfast
Herby Potato Waffles with Hot Smoked Salmon & Pickled Vegetables
You probably wouldn’t believe me if I said I preferred savoury over sweet but it’s true. Don’t get me wrong I like the occasional sweet treat but savoury is my taste of choice. This weekend brunch recipe will definitely set you up for a days activities. Waffles are an institution in both Norway and Sweden,…

I’ve been making granola for some time now as I have always found that anything I’ve bought contains far too much sugar. Preparing your own at home is incredibly easy, quick, and allows you to control the amount of sugar you add, while also varying the ingredients and adding the flavours that you love. It also…
