It’s been so hot in Bergen this summer that I haven’t felt much like baking lately. But earlier this week I invited some people over and wanted to serve them an easy sweet treat, so I opted for one of the quickest and most delicious cookies I know: mandelsnittar, or Swedish sliced almond cookies. I love making Swedish sliced cookies because they’re so fast and easy. You don’t even have to form the cookie dough into individual cookies. Instead you simply roll the dough into two long lo...| Scandinavian Cookbook

Spring is in full bloom in Bergen now and I was in the mood for a fresh and summery dessert, so I decided to make the easiest lemon cookie recipe I know. Citronsnittar, or Swedish lemon slices, are quick and easy cookies to make, especially as you don’t even need to shape the dough into individual cookies. Instead, you simply roll the dough into long logs and slice it into cookies after it’s finished baking. This time I topped them with coarsely chopped white chocolate and wow did these d...| Scandinavian Cookbook
Yesterday was my friend’s mom’s birthday and so of course I offered to bake a cake! All I was told is that she likes chocolate, so I made the best, most chocolatey cake I know: kladdkaka with a dark chocolate and coffee ganache. Kladdkaka, or sticky chocolate cake, is a simple dense chocolate cake that is crispy on top and gooey on the inside. And then the ganache topping is made with just dark chocolate, heavy cream, and a couple tablespoons of strong coffee (which you can skip if you li...| Scandinavian Cookbook
After being so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Jansson’s temptation I thought it might be time to try out another classic Swedish casserole dish. I had always heard about flygande Jacob, or flying Jacob, but had never made it myself because to be honest, it didn’t sound appealing to me! Flying Jacob is a Swedish casserole dish from the 1970s made with chicken, bacon, banana, and peanuts and topped with a mixture of whipped cream and chili sauce. It’s one of those quick and ea...| Scandinavian Cookbook
Last week I wanted to bake something sweet for a TV night with my friends and I didn’t have time to go to the grocery store, so I opted for a simple and oh so delicious favorite: kolasnittar, or Swedish butter cookies. They’re like the vanilla sugar version of another beloved recipe that I shared a couple years ago, chokladsnittar. Swedish butter cookies are quick and easy to make, especially as you don’t even need to shape the dough into individual cookies. Instead, you simply roll the...| Scandinavian Cookbook
My friend Lisa and I spent New Year’s in a cute little cabin up in Northern Sweden. And when I woke up on New Year’s Day to -25°C I decided it would be the perfect day to bake some buns! And since I was in Sweden, I knew I wanted to make Swedish saffron buns. Swedes use saffron in a lot of their desserts, perhaps partly because saffron is cheaper in Sweden than in Norway (of course saffron is never cheap, but it’s so expensive in Norway). This time I decided to make traditional saffron...| Scandinavian Cookbook
I spent Christmas in a lovely little log cabin in Northern Sweden. And when I told my friend Josephine, who is half Norwegian and half Swedish, that I would be in Sweden for Christmas, she sent me a long list of foods I needed to buy at the grocery store, as well as traditional Swedish recipe I could make: And she said that I had to make Jannsons frestelse, or Jansson’s Temptation, for Christmas. Janssons frestelse is a Swedish casserole with potatoes, onions, anchovies (or sprats), and cre...| Scandinavian Cookbook

It’s finally feeling like summer here in Bergen, which is perfect timing since we celebrated Midsummer over the weekend! Swedes celebrated Midsummer Eve on Friday and Norwegians celebrated Sankthansaften on Sunday, and one dish that featured on many tables was smörgåstårta. Smörgåstårta, or smørbrødterte in Norwegian, is a savory cake made of several layers of different sandwiches and decorated with cream cheese, vegetables, and seafood or cold cuts and cheese. While we call it a ca...| Scandinavian Cookbook

I’ve already shared several of my favorite Swedish cakes for fika (the Swedish coffee + cake break), like Silvia cake, kärleksmums, cardamom cake, and tosca cake. But another classic is tiger cake! Tiger cake is a fluffy sponge cake made from vanilla and chocolate batter marbled together, or layered in “tiger stripes.” It’s an easy cake to make, but the tiger pattern and combination of flavors makes it quite special as well. Tips To get a smooth and fluffy batter, run the dry ingredi...| Scandinavian Cookbook
