Lemon-basil-garlic roast chicken

Lemon-basil-garlic roast chicken by Anne's Food

Ok, ok, the photo kind of sucks. I never take pretty photos of roast chickens - probably because it's too hard to fight off the husband, trying to cut into it. And wow, this was a delicious one. Definitely one of the best ones I've tried. Unfortunately, also one of the most unhealthy ones, with all that butter. But once in a while, do…

Yet another potato salad

Yet another potato salad by Anne's Food

I don't know about you, but we seem to make potato salads a lot this summer. This one was made in our Dalarna cabin (really my parents cabin) where we are spending a sunny summer week. I have a very limited pantry but that doesn't really matter with such simple dishes. We had this, a lemon-olive quinoa salad, and grilled some hot…

Rub for ribs

Rub for ribs by Anne's Food

We attempted spare ribs in the smoker for the first time. We bought the best ribs our grocery store had - from Scan Rapsgris, canola-fed pigs, and they were great. We trimmed them off, St Louis style (awesome video tutorial here) and rubbed the with this spice mix, and let them sit for four hours or so. Then, they were smoked in our…

Awesome salad

Awesome salad by Anne's Food

A great little salad! It works well on its own, or as a side dish. We had it for lunch, with some pata negra ham, and some mashed avocado on baguette slices. Think of it as a rough sketch, and add to it as you see fit. I would have added some sliced radishes or perhaps grilled asparagus if I had had any.-Baby spinach-Tangerineswhisk…

Chocolate Mousse, Cherry Compote, Chocolate Crumble

Chocolate Mousse, Cherry Compote, Chocolate Crumble by Anne's Food

A fairly elegant little thing, but really, very easy. The chocolate mousse is from Roy Fares' cookbook Sweet, and while certainly tasty, a pretty basic mousse. The cherry compote was largely improvised and I'm sorry, I didn't write down the exact measurements, but all I did was take 200 g frozen cherries, add a few spoons of sugar, a…

Fantastic pear cake

Fantastic pear cake by Anne's Food

This cake has quickly become one of our favorites. I was introduced to it by Ruth, a food blogger from the UK who now lives in Sweden, and she has it from the ever-famous one-of-the-first food blogger Clotilde of Chocolate & Zucchini.I've made it twice - once with the almonds and once without, and it's not much of a difference. I like…

Quick dinner idea - Fried Rice Carbonara Style

Quick dinner idea - Fried Rice Carbonara Style by Anne's Food

We usually eat together as a family, every night. However, sometimes Per or I are working late and then it's just me (or him) and the kids. On those occasions, we usually opt for something quick and simple - not that we're doing any advanced cooking on the other nights, for sure.This came to be on one such evening. We all liked it a…

Homemade Chocolate Shell

Homemade Chocolate Shell by Anne's Food

Magic Shell is an ice cream topping I first came into contact with in the US - where else? Well, you can find a version of it in Sweden too, nowadays. Or you can, as I have, make your own!It's essentially a pourable chocolate topping that freezes instantly when poured over ice cream. It hardens into a crunchy chocolate shell. And it's…

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Apple Cinnamon Muffins by Anne's Food

Sweden is having very summery weather, still, despite the calendar showing a fall month. Mornings are misty, but afternoons are almost always sunny and warm. Quite lovely!I made these apple cinnamon muffins the other day, to cheer myself up after a few weeks of very hard work. I found a recipe at Add a Pinch and adapted it to fit my…
