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.
Banana curry pizza
A unique flavor combination, the sweet banana balances perfectly with the homemade marinara sauce and creamy tangy blend of mozzarella and fontina. A fun twist on pizza night that is enjoyed by far more than Swedes!
Aunt Karin’s Kräftpasta (Crayfish Pasta)
It doesn't need to be Swedish crayfish season to make this recipe, but having leftovers sure helps! A mix of spicy red pepper paste mixed with garlic and added to a creamy parmesan sauce over noodles, this recipe is delicious hot or cold and a great way to use up those leftover crayfish.
Lobster-röra (Lobster Salad)
A twist on the beloved Skagenröra or Swedish Shrimp Salad, this recipe kicks things up a notch and swaps Bay shrimp for lobster meat. The result is a cool, creamy, bright, dill forward lobster salad that is perfect for serving with crackers, as a dip, or in a sandwich.
Bengt’s Swedish Crayfish Boil
Swedish crayfish are cooked in a delicious broth made of a delicate salt to water ratio that’s loaded with fresh dill crowns and chilled overnight. Try this fail proof family recipe and host a crayfish party with your friends!
Cardamom Chocolate Chip Rulltårta (Swedish roll cake)
This Cardamom Chocolate Chip Rulltårta (Swedish Roll Cake) combines the earthy, minty, warm spice of cardamom with the bittersweet flavors of chocolate to bring forward a light, fresh spin on a Swedish Roll Cake. Serve with whipped cream, fresh fruit, and coffee for your perfect fika date.
