Zucchini Lemon Loaf
Last year, I learnt that zucchini isn’t reserved for savoury dishes alone. No, it works really well in baking too. In the same way that carrot adds sweetness and moisture to a carrot cake, so does the zucchini. I made a few zucchini breads last summer, adding in chocolate and spices. All delicious, of course!… Read more »

Rhubarb & White Choc Cookies
Not posting so frequently at the moment, but thought I’d share these amazing, chewy rhubarb, white chocolate and cardamom cookies while you still might get hold of some rhubarb. They are seriously the best cookies I’ve eaten in ages. I brought them to a little get together and everyone seemed to love them, because they… Read more »

Tea Cakes
In Swedish, these breads are called tea cakes. A soft, round bun, a little on the sweet side but still used as bread for sandwiches. Help me out – is there a better English name for them? Or is an English tea cake something completely different? Anyway – about these delicious tea cakes. I’m super… Read more »

Cinnamon Weave Bread
Did I mention I’m in a baking craze? There are simply too many lovely creations to try. I saw this beautiful weave bread from @stemsandforks on Pinterest and just had to make one myself. I used my usual sweet yeast dough (the recipe is in my Rhubarb rolls post), and filled it with traditional Swedish… Read more »

Rhubarb Rolls
These rolls are just lovely. I used my usual sweet yeast bread recipe, and filled it with a rhubarb compote. A couple of chopped up rhubarb stalks (not from my own garden, they’re not ready for picking just yet), some brown sugar and a dash of water, simmered until it started to thicken a little.… Read more »

Almond Pear Cake

Soft Rye Bread
I baked a traditional Swedish bread that come in regional versions with different types of flour. What they have in common is that they are baked in large round cakes and pricked with a fork or a special kind of rolling pin. For a first try, I was really happy with the result. It was… Read more »

Raspberry Cardamom Knots
Yet another bake with that sweet yeast dough, that you you’ll find in my cinnamon star bread post. This time I filled it with raspberry and cardamom and twisted them into little knots. They didn’t last long! To make knots, you roll the dough out in a rectangle. Spread one half with vegan butter, raspberries… Read more »

Hasselback Potatoes
I found this photo from a couple of months back, and wish I could have these mini Hasselback potatoes for dinner tonight. Thinly sliced (only almost all the way through – use a chopstick as a stop!), then perfectly baked with vegan butter, panko and salt. Because nothing better than roasted potatoes, am I right?
