Long time no see! I know it’s been a long while but I hope you’ll quickly forget my absence if I’ll post my signature dish. I guess everyone has a signature dish, a dish that you lo...
Sweden does not produce and sell buttermilk commercially since year 2000, so I was very happy when I found buttermilk in one of the Polish grocery stores the other week. If I remember correctly, I be...

Swedish cheesecake with whipped cream, blackberries and jam. I know, I know. The photo is really bad and doesn’t do this dessert any justice. This Swedish cheesecake, originating from the provi...
