Shrove Tuesday, Pancake day Or Mardi Gras! Call it whatever you like, on this day in Sweden we eat something called semlor. Traditionally it's a cardamom bread/bun filled with almond paste and whip cream. Nowadays it comes in any shapes and flavor you can imagine. This year the new version is a croissant, and off course I had to try it out. Try it yourself and se what you think of it.

Homemade Swedish chess cookies with the classical combination of cacao and vanilla. Guess why they are called chess cookies... because they resemble a chess board ! They are fun to do and you can make the traditional square shape, or why not make them as a circle for a change.
One of the Swedish classical small dry cookies. Easy to make and you can keep them in the freezer for a few month so you always have cookies at home for "fika" if you will get company. These cookies normally have raspberry or strawberry jam on top, but you can use any jam you like.
This is a perfect sauce to a fresh salad or seafood. It is served cold and is very easy to make and can be made as strong as you wish. Why this Swedish sauce is named after the state of Rhode Island in the United states of America is a mystery. The sauce resemble a lot of the sauce called Thousand islands sauce, that is also served cold to salads and seafood.
