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.
A sausage sauce with a big sausage called falukorv in Swedish. You can take whatever sausage you like as long as it is not to strong, cervelat sausage is a good option. A simple weekday food.
A homemade chocolate cake made with real chocolate and cacao powder is always appreciated. This one is soft and a bit sticky in the middle and both adults and children will like it.
