A little bit of Sweden in your kitchen
Welcome to my blog! Here you can explore traditional and innovative Swedish recipes influenced by the San Francisco food scene. You’ll also find posts about Swedish traditions, gastronomy, and my personal experience with growing up Swede-ish.
Mulberry Aquavit (Scandinavian Schnapps)
Aquavit, akvavit, Swedish schnapps - no matter how you say it, this Scandinavian drink is key at Swedish celebrations. A unique blend of coriander, caraway, dill, fennel, and star anise - I added fresh mulberries to bring in a little San Francisco flavor.
Cardamom Espresso Martini
It’s officially ‘Tini Tuesday! In my opinion, the Tuesday after a holiday weekend (for some) calls for a cocktail. If you’re an espresso martini fan, you have to try this! I offer two ways to make a cardamom simple syrup, and while I used mezcal tequila for the base, you can use vodka or an N/A spirit too.
