Home-made Orange Marmalade

Posted by: Anca on: 29 March 2011

Hi everyone, Let me first apologize from my absence from the blog. This is only my second post this month and I am not pleased with myself. I have so many meals to share with you. I always try to make something new so this blog should be drowning in recipes.  I promise to do [...]

Tartă cu lămâie – Lemon Pie

Posted by: Anca on: 8 February 2011

As soon as I’ve seen this recipe, I knew I had to make it. So here I am an hour later sharing it with you Note: 1hour= 30 minutes which it takes to make it + 30 minutes waiting for it to cool   I used the same dough as for the ‘Fulkornspaj med broccoli‘ [...]

  This is a spicy one!  You have not only the chorizo, some paprika but plenty chili sauce with some extra chili powder. Your mouth will be on (some little) fire after this one. Thank God the recipe didn’t require tabasco as well! This recipe for 4 I took from my local food store along [...]

One-pan salmon with roast asparagus

Posted by: Anca on: 3 October 2010

From the BBC really Goooooodd Food category, here comes another loved recipe. I haven’t yet cooked anything from there that I didn’t like. We eat a lot of salmon in my house, so this recipe came at the perfect time, exactly when we were getting tired of cooking it the same way. I cooked it [...]

One-pot chicken pilaf

Posted by: Anca on: 11 September 2010

Hi everybody, In my previous post, I showed you how my Tarte Tatin recipe from the BBC  website turned out. As you may know, they also have their own food magazine, called ‘BBC Good Food‘. They print it even in Romania, but not in Sweden Thank God they also have a website, full of all [...]

Tarte tatin

Posted by: Anca on: 11 September 2010

This recipe is a classic one, over a 100 years old. It’s basically an upside-down apple tart in which the apples are caramelized in butter and sugar before the tart is baked. The legend says it was ‘discovered’ by accident by the Tartin sisters, but what a wonderful accident that was. I had some apples [...]

Hasselbackspotatis – Potatoes Hasselback

Posted by: Anca on: 1 September 2010

Today’s recipe is about the re-invention of the backed potatoes. If you get bored preparing them in the same way, over and over again, this is certainly a thing to try. Hasselbackspotatis are practically some sort of baked potatoes, where potatoes are cut halfway into thin slices with butter and breadcrumbs added on top of [...]

My first pizza

Posted by: Anca on: 21 August 2010

Hi there, Today I thought I’d go down memory lane and remember my first pizza… Ah, this is just like your first love – you never forget it. During this last year, a prepared a lot of recipes for the first time. And I swear the first time is always the best. Maybe it’s because [...]

David Lebovitz kitchen tour and interview

Posted by: Anca on: 19 June 2010

And since I mentioned David Lebovitz in the Chouquettes recipe, I wanted post a link to an interview with him. It’s from ‘The kitchn’ and it gives you a glimpse into the David’s kitchen and every day life in Paris. I must admit I was really surprised of the size of his kitchen – it’s [...]

Chouquettes – French Cream Puff

Posted by: Anca on: 19 June 2010

Me and my husband have a new ‘tradition’. Every Saturday we ‘scoot’ with our Vespa to a different cafe to have breakfast. Until now we’ve been lucky – good food, nice places. The first cafe we’ve visited is La petite France. If you find yourself wondering through Stockholm and hungry for a good breakfast, you [...]
