Kladdkaka

By • Jun 23rd, 2011 • Category: Baking Projects

Kladdkaka is a well-loved chocolate, gooey cake in Sweden. This cake is so low effort and high satisfaction guaranteed, it’s mad. It’s almost as easy as the eggless, butterless chocolate cake recipe. Mr. G asked if I could look for a recipe that had chocolate and rum in it and that’s how I found Johanna [...]



Pork Korma with Sweet Potato

By • Apr 5th, 2011 • Category: From My Mother's Kitchen

I enjoy reading food blogs and trying new recipes. I’m constantly surprised at how easy it is in fact to make something. I would have been too intimidated to make it in the past but food blogs demystifies things for me. Food blogs, I’m eternally grateful.

Finnish Cardamom Bread

Remember Mr. G’s and my recent bread adventure? (No? Well, here’s the post to remind you.) After that I promised myself that I would not let my fear of breadmaking dictate me. While surfing the beautiful world of food blogs one afternoon, I discovered The Caramel Cookie. I developed a soft spot for cardamom after [...]
