I fried frozen mini pancakes in butter and filled one Russian style with smoked salmon, sour cream and topped with black caviar from lumpfish. The second I filled with Southern food, sliced, boneless BBQ wings and BBQ sauce. The third is Swedish style, filled with mashed potatoes, one sliced meatball and topped with lingonberry jam. Surprisingly good pancakes!

Swedish comfort food at its best, perfect as a side for a fall dinner. Always a favorite among my American friends.

This is a very tasty dish, easy to make and good enough to serve at a dinner party. I serve it with halved brussel sprouts.

I made my gravlax adding a pinch of licorice powder to the salt and sugar. Made some nice roses by spreading a thin layer of cream cheese on slices of gravlax and rolling them up. The roses were served on sliced lemon. Very good finger food!

Here I got my best bagel ever!

First time I visited a food truck rally and actually bought food from a truck. Tried crepes and lox bagel. The bagel was the winner while the crepes were not near French street food. I wish next time a rally would be planned during the cooler time of the year, we almost melted away walking in the sun at 95 degrees. Anyways, fun to see this many trucks in one place and a lot of happy foodies.

I have caved in to the popular 5:2 diet, if you haven't heard about it, which I doubt here it how it works. For 5 days of the week you can eat your normal food, 2 days of the week you can only eat 500 calories if you're a woman and 600 calories if you're a man. The two diet days must not be consecutive. I try to make Tuesday and Fridays my :2 days. I must say it this diet gives an immediate effect. You should loose about 1 kilo per week with this diet and it really works. So here I am counting calories again. This dish contains around 300 calories and is good for lunch or dinner on diet day.

This recipe was inspired by Ottolenghi. I substituted the capers with a more Nordic flavor of matjes herring. Came out surprisingly good.

I found a beautiful head of fresh, green cabbage had to buy it. I made three sides from it; Swedish cole slaw, cole slaw and oven roasted cabbage.
