So when the sun finally comes out -what better to treat the girls to some outdoor play in the garden and to enjoy a freshly baked cream cake served with whipped cream and strawberry jam? This recipe is simple and very straight forward (Even I can do it and I'm by all means no genius in the kitchen!) and it only takes about 30 minutes to bake. Why not allow the children to bake with you? @ Little...

Smoked Salmon and Watercress Salad with a Lemon-Caper Vinaigrette
This recipe is so quick and easy to make yet so elegant. I made it as a starter for our Sunday lunch with friends, and it got a lot of praise. I will be making it again perhaps even a larger portion too and have it as a light lunch on it's own. The flavors are gorgeous and it looks so delicate with a great colour combination. And the best thing? Its a foolproof recipe! © Little Scandinavian...

The BRANDstrom family's favorite food at the moment is Lobster salad with garlic bread.

Read moreWarm walnut bread for breakfast
Having warm freshly baked bread for breakfast is great, and a bread filled with rich tasty walnuts makes it even better. Ever since I grew up, has bread been an important part of the daily meals. In most parts of Scandinavia are the breakfast still considered the most important meal of the day, and families tend to sit down together around the kitchen table to start the day with a few slices of...
Read moreBasic sourdough bread
Baking is something which has always fascinated me, ever since we had cooking lessons in school and when baking christmas cakes at home. Making pizza has always been a favorite and a hit with the girls, while bread making has been more of an occasional habit, until earlier this year when we started making sourdough based bread. It is something more real about bread made without any artificial...
Read moreA beautiful start
I would say that this is a rather decorative sourdough starter. This weekend I made a few sourdough starters, and this is one of them, based on Bramley apple peels. It's about 250 grams of apple peel and 2 liter of water, all resting inside an vintage Norgesglass (in Norwegian). We frequently bake our own bread, but we have always used yeast. This time we are going to try something a bit...

Read moreFarikal, lamb and cabbage stew
This stew is a popular meat dish from Norway, actually so popular that it was voted to be Norway's national dish back in the 70's and I would say that this hearty dish is more popular than ever, with lamb and cabbage layered and stewed with peppercorns and salt, slow cooked until tender, then served with potatoes. Beer is the best option alongside this dish and for the true Vikings there is the...
