An easy stew that can be on the table in half an hour is always a good recipe to know. Lingonberries, like cranberries, go extremely well with turkey. The turkey breast can be substituted with chicken, if you like. And if you want to use leftover roast turkey or chicken, [...]

Hunting is a huge part of Swedish culture, so game meats are an important part of Swedish cooking. I have some friends who grew up in remote areas where eating game was an everyday occurrence, while a roast chicken was for special occasions. It makes sense when you live in [...]

There’s a long history of pepparkakor (gingersnap or gingerbread) in Sweden. It made its way from Germany in the 15th century and stood the test of time partly because it keeps so well. Traditionally honey was used to sweeten the cake, but I’ve replaced it with treacle, [...]

This traditional Swedish potato casserole is a must on every Christmas table, although frankly I’m fond of it at any other time of the year too. Paired with a crisp green salad to balance out the creaminess, it’s a comforting meal. Encouraging plenty of the crispy charred [...]

I’m busy packing my bags ready to fly to sunny Australia. That’s right, I’ll be returning Down Under to Sydney for a few weeks, where I’ll be filming a second season of Zumbo’s Just Desserts. The great news is, I’ve managed to squeeze in a [...]

Ubiquitous in Sweden, pancakes come in many different forms, thicknesses and sizes. In essence, you just need some flour, eggs, milk, a good pinch of salt and a generous amount of butter to fry them in. These are between American pancakes and French crêpes in size, but with [...]
