In general I have a lot of self-criticism. There is always something I could have done better, I tend to be not easily pleased with myself. But not today, today I am extremely pleased about myself.

Easy and quick holiday dinner
No matter how luxurious or basic, adventurous or conservative, far away or close to home, sunny and warm your holiday is, there is no place like your own place. In fact, one of the great things about traveling is going home! If you ask me my own bed, worn out mattress included, is the best….

Seasoned sweet potato from the oven with fresh chanterelles and a lemon-mustard dressing.
I have spent many summers in Sweden, in a house in the forest near to a lake.

Coconut-ginger rice with spicy mango and zucchini

Roasted cauliflower with roasted hazelnuts and puy lentils
I have a sort of love-hate affair going on with cauliflower and I am not the only one in our family. None of my kids like it and my husband always objects when I suggest to prepare something with cauliflower in it. He does eat it though and usually likes the end result. All of…
