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 »

Rye Porridge with Raspberries
We’re on holiday on the West coast of Sweden, in a house by the sea. In the garden is a large bush with ripe raspberries. What a treat to pick a cup full of berries to top my breakfast porridge bowl with! For my porridge I use 0,75 dl rolled rye (rågflingor), 1,75 dl water… Read more »

Apple & Carrot Muffins
My youngest son asked for muffins the other day. It was a weekday, so I didn’t want them to be too sweet, but more like an afternoon energy boost. So together we improvised these apple and carrot and cinnamon muffins, which turned out really good. (In “together” I mean that I managed the measurements and… 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 »
