Confit tomatoes


This dish is so good and almost addictive! But not only that very easy to make as well. Unfortunately all my herbs died in the last storm we had here. Blasted with the salt and sand from the sea killed them. The rest of the garden went as well. A price one have to pay…

Torrijas


Torrijas is very similar to french toasts or Swedish Fattiga riddare. I prefer this once as I love the flavours from the zest and spices. As the Easter getting closer, it’s time for me to share my favourite Spanish dessert Torrijas. A very famous dessert you find every where in Spain under the Easter time….

Andalucía fish stew


The Spanish kitchen is so much more then Paella and calamari. Lots of flavours but not hot. The vegetables is a big part of a Spanish meal along with the bread. After my open heart surgery I must think more of what I eat. Olive oil is fantastic to use instead of butter on bread…

Banana tea loaf


Banana tea loaf This banan tea loaf is a big favourite here at home. Specially if you have some bananas going black. The more soft the bananas are, the less sugar you need. There is also no added fat in it. The loaf get quite moist and don’t rise much in the oven. I prefer…

Müsli


You might find this müsli recipe a bit strange with both oil and apple juice. Well the oil makes it more crispy. And who doesn’t love cinnamon and apple taste? No added sugar at all and I’m using gluten-free oats. I keep the müsli in a zip plastic bag in the freezer. Why you might…

Saffron gingerbread mousse


I made this delicious saffron gingerbread mousse over the holidays and it was absolutely delightful. Particularly around the festivities where you eat a lot of sweets and various treats, it can be nice to have something which is not too sweet but still feels decadent and not too much.  Not to mention, what screams more…

Swedish chocolate balls (lactose free)


Chocolate balls are a very traditional Swedish snack (or as I occasionally brand them at work – chocolate truffles) that probably everyone knows how to make. It is not something which you need to put into the oven, it does not require any preparation, and it is very friendly to your wallet. All you need…

Tenderloin with lemon and tomatoes


Spanish food is quite simple and pure in the flavors. Here in Andalucia it is very much fried food, which is very good, but one can not live on it all the time. This meat is very healthy and fresh thanks to the lemon juice and skin they are in, before cooking. Easy to make…
