Apple Galette
Apple Galette
This is a simple recipe that can be used whenever you find you have too many apples, berries, plums or almost any fruits. Another aspect is that you don’t have to have any particular pie form, a simple baking tray lined with parchment is enough. Perfect for the summer house where baking equipment is always at a minimum.
Lemon Custard Tart
Lemon Tart
This is an all time French classic and is the perfect ending to a meal regardless of the season. This recipe will produce a thick creamy filling that is very lemony and nicely tart.

These are the chocolate variety and taste great and because you can keep them stored in a plastic container for 3-4 weeks they will always be available to pull out to eat as a snack or with a nice cup of hot tea on a cold Swedish night!

This is the original classic cream cheese frosting from Philadelphia brand cream cheese. It comes from their web site Kraft Foods.
Chocolate Truffle Torte
Chocolate Truffle Torte
This chocolate cake never fails to please – like chocolate truffles they are deeply satisfying without being too sweet. I have seen this now in a Swedish cooking magazine but in reality it was originally from “Delia Smiths Christmas” 1990 – BBC Books, one of the best holiday cookbooks I have ever seen.
Easy Chocolate Cake
Easy Chocolate Cake
Be assured that this is a great cake and super easy. The whole thing can be done in one bowl or in your food processor. I have been using it for the past couple of years because I can make it so quickly and everyone loves it.
Creme Patissiere / Vanilla Pastry Cream
Creme Patissiere / Vanilla Pastry Cream
Creme Patissiere – Vanilla Pastry Cream – This type of pastry cream is rarely used as it is. It is normally folded in with whipped cream and then used under strawberries or banana’s in an open fruit tart. It is also used for many traditional French recipes such at Paris-brest, Cream Puffs, what Americans call Napoleons and the Britt’s call Vanilla Slices.
Blueberry or Raspberry Muffins
Blueberry or Raspbery Muffins
What can you say about muffins? They are great mostly because you can combine your favorite soft fruits into something that only takes a few minutes to pull together and you can enjoy them the whole weekend. Make a batch and freeze a few for next week.
Life just feels better with a few muffins lying around.
