Christmas has come a few weeks early this year…and this time it’s me playing Father Christmas. My latest cookbook, The Little Swedish Kitchen, is packed with Scandi-inspired seasonal recipes – including lots of punchy dishes to add a bit of Nordic Noël to your [...]

Sometimes a recipe disaster can bring something even more delicious. Traditionally these mountains are packed with just coconut, but after burning half my coconut while toasting, I decided to improvise with sesame seeds and ground almonds. The result adds the perfect nuttiness and is a great balance to the tart berries on top.

It’s been just over a week since I landed in Sydney, and I must admit, I really am loving all the sunny weather – it’s such a welcome change from the long dark days of late autumn in Sweden. Thanks so much to everyone who came along to my book signing at Books [...]

I’m super excited to share the news that I’ve been shortlisted for this year’s Pinterest UK Food + Drink Awards. Rather appropriately, I’ve been nominated in the ‘Best twist on tradition‘ category (I’ve always liked adding my own [...]

I’ve always been a big fan of Smeg appliances. There’s something mesmerising about their 1950’s design and rainbow colour palette (as opposed to bog-standard white). For years I’ve wanted to complete my kitchen look with a Smeg fridge/freezer, but [...]
