    Recipes

    Looking for a versatile and quick-to-prepare side dish?  Then you need to try Saffron Rice or Neapolitan Eggplant Meatballs (Polpette di Melanzane).

    Perhaps you want some deliciously-filling soup that can also be enjoyed as a meal on its own?  Take your pick from either Finnish Salmon Soup (Lohikeitto) or German Potato Soup (Kartoffelsuppe)!

    Or if you just want to try my post popular recipe, then you should check out these posts -- Swedish Almond & Cardamom Mini Cakes, Tuscan Apple Cake, Swedish Almond Tart and last, but certainly not the least, Pistachio Semifreddo!
