Canapés

Moutabel & Yogurt Flatbread

Smoky Aubergine Moutabel with Yogurt Flatbreads

I have spoken at length about my Swedish heritage on my mother’s side but I haven’t yet mentioned that my father was born in Egypt to Maltese parents, I know, I’m an eclectic mix of cultures and nationalities. Many Italians lived in Cairo at that time so this influenced the way they cooked. Both my…

Parmesan & Pistachio Sable

Irresistible Pistachio and Parmesan Biscuits

The first time I tried these delicious melt in the mouth sable was at a friends cocktail party.  I’m never one to pass up on an invitation to cocktails and nibbles with good friends, all of which are such wonderful cooks and hosts. This particular invitation came from a German friend who bakes the most…

Beetroot Cured Gravadlax

Beetroot & Horseradish Cured Gravad Lax

Gravad lax these days is so readily available, the lightly cured salmon with a scattering of chopped dill, I find the commercial versions often taste incredibly similar and the accompanying mustard sauce can be too acidic and intense.  The salmon I ate in Sweden, prepared by my mother and grandmother always tasted so fresh, with…

Parsnip Blinis with Whipped Blue Cheese

Festive Christmas Canapés

It goes without saying that we all want to be organised at Christmas so if you have unexpected visitors or you’re planning a party you’ve got something prepared ahead or something stashed in the freezer. These festive bites are excellent to prepare ahead, even freeze and pull out when needed.  Do remember that when you prepare…

  • Just back from a wonderful day visiting Buddhist temples in  the #anuradhapurakingdom. A truly beautiful and tranquil place, so you’ve probably worked out that I am writing this post whilst on holiday in Sri Lanka. This one I prepared earlier - Spiced chicken with red cabbage slaw and yogurt flat breads. Find the recipe on my blog, link in my bio.

  • I’ve spent the whole day sorting through cupboards, bagging clothes up for the charity shop and having a general tidy up.  Time for a well deserved glass of wine and with a box of wild mushrooms given to me in the week (tack mamma @evakristinao 😘) dinner is sorted.

  • Okay so I’ve jumped on the Valentines band wagon 💖but I had to put the lingonberries to good use! And who doesn’t like a waffle with whipped cream anyway? .

  • Lingonberries look so delicious in their natural form however they are really tart and slightly bitter raw, adding sugar transforms them into something that goes incredibly well with game, meat, and desserts. I love them in their simplest form, steeped in a little sugar, in Sweden this is called ‘Rårörda Lingon’ and eaten with a cultured milk ’Filmjölk’ similar to Kefir. They are also jam packed with antioxidants and body enhancing phytonutrients.

  • Hands up if you think baking bread is a long winded exercise?  Wrong, it doesn’t have to be. This healthy loaf was made from start to finish in a little over an hour! 
I’ve adapted this recipe (given to me by my Mormor, granny) It’s Swedish ‘Limpa’ I’ve added seeds and nuts and used kefir instead of the Swedish filmjölk, a cultured milk, it’s so good.

  • I had fully intended on spending the morning doing admin, getting ahead on a few blog posts and doing some general housekeeping on my PC, no such luck, my computer is not playing ball😖🤬 I think I just need to walk away and hope for the best this afternoon😬
Now I have time I didn’t think I’d have to make myself a decent lunch, a rummage in the freezer resulted in finding frozen peas and broad beans.  Soup it is then🥣
