In Sweden it is common to bake cakes and buns with saffron between the first Sunday of advent and Christmas. The cakes and buns are served as Swedish fika often together with coffee or tea. This is traditional chocolate balls but made with saffron instead.
A homemade classic Swedish shrimp sandwich can be found in Sweden all year around, but especially during the summer when you find fresh shrimps to buy. The dish is celebrated the 14th of October every year. It is traditionally made with white bread, shrimps, eggs, salad leaves, lemon, cucumber, or tomatoes.
The baked potatoes have a soft inside with a crispy skin on the outside. There are two ways of cooking a baked potato either as it is or with aluminum around them in the oven. In this recipe we chosen to enhance the flavor with a typical Swedish shrimp sauce.
