Sunday-muffins

admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 10:16:37 +0000

It’s raining a little bit, and the sun is absent – so no working-in-the-garden on this Sunday. The dry leaves will have to wait for warmer times, so instead, I relax and enjoy the day with homemade raspberry muffins with almonds and coconut. Not a bad alternative!

Lunch for a queen

Too bad I can’t transfer taste via a picture, because today, this is what I had for lunch. My man surprised me yet again with his cooking-skills… this is his version of a Mediterranean salad. Life is good in our house.

Food on wood

On a normal Saturday-night we had dinner with my in-laws. Lovely evening, and amazing food (as always), the whole thing served on a piece of wood. Very Swedish, and a bit christmassy.

Food from a weekend in Copenhagen

A long weekend in Copenhagen, full of good food. Like this: butter-pan-fried marinated fish with ryebread and remoulade. Hurray!

Big Fish for dinner

Father-in-law went fishing yesterday and gave the catch to us. So this is a closeup of a 1,4 kilo-gädda (pike) ready to be served for dinner in the weekend. I got the honour of cleaning the beast this morning. Lucky me :/

Boyfriend’s gravad salmon

When sharing my life with a Swedish man, I get to enjoy the beautiful results of his cooking skills (and they are always fantastic). And since Christmas is coming closer, his latest kitchen endeavors resulted in the beauty: classic gravad salmon, a must-have on the Swedish Christmas-table. It tastes absolutely wonderful.

Red currant jelly

Today’s production in the kitchen: 4 small glasses of red currant jelly. Am quite proud of the fact that the consistency actually *is* like jelly – all wobbly and see through – and it’s my very first batch!

The perfect end-of-the-week-treat

admin — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:58:06 +0000

My idea of a superb way to celebrate a Sunday evening: fudgy chocolate/coffee cake served with vanilla ice cream. Match this with rain, candles and a movie. I shall not complain.

Homemade red currant cordial

Red currant from the garden, a bit of water and some sugar. And now I have one and a half bottle of homemade red currant cordial in my cupboard. The first of many more to come.
