RHUBARB MUFFINS W/ COCONUT (GLUTEN-FREE)

In Dubai at the moment working far away from our giant rhubarb plant but just before we left I photographed this easy recipe to share with you. These are awesome gluten free rhubarb muffins with a hint of coconut. It might seem odd to mix exotic coconut with rhubarb but I think the flavours marry really well. Read more

WHAT I ATE IN A DAY + A SMALL GARDEN TOUR

Landed in Dubai a couple of days ago and was met by a wall of heat and humidity. The climate here is worlds apart from what we're used to in Sweden but I think it's doing wonders for my skin already so I'm happy to sweat a little more than usual. I guess my skin is enjoying the instant steam room when we're outside. I did face a little down side yesterday however when the internet wouldn't allow me to write this post so this what I ate in a day video has been up on youtube since yesterday. I hope you've already seen it of course but if you haven't here it is! In it we show you our garden, what we eat and Rob and I make an attempt at a road trip. As you figure it didn't go so well.

POLENTA PIZZA W/ TOFU ALMOND CHEESE AND GRILLED OYSTER MUSHROOM + COURGETTE

It's yet another day that Rob and I are getting ready to leave for Dubai. Tomorrow we are off again to do some work over there and will be away for little over a week this time. I'm a little sad to leave right now as the lilacs have just come into bloom, my favourite part of spring/early summer. If there's a time when I really like being in Sweden it's between May and September when spring turns into summer until summer turns lightly into autumn. Either way we are going and I'm packing and cleaning and photographing a recipe and the house is more or less in shambles. Before I take care of these last details I want to share this polenta pizza with you because it's Wednesday and that's what we are used to here on Wednesdays - new recipes.Read more

MINERAL, MALMÖ: VEGANS WHO LUNCH

Last weekend Rob and I visited Mineral in Malmö. A quite newly opened vegan restaurant and wine bar. In this post I would love to share our experience with you and show you all the images I felt inspired to take of the beautiful space they've created for their guests. I've also decided to call this series 'vegans who lunch' because one I think it's funny and two I've already posted about lunches elsewhere and thought it might be good to gather all of these posts under one category. I hope you approve and enjoy this post!Read more

Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse (3 Ingredients)

I bought an electrical whisk last week about the same time my exhaust pipe dropped to the ground on a drive to the city. Those of you who follow along on my stories on instagram know what I am talking about. Since I have reattached that pipe onto my car, managed to find new faults in it that need to be fixed and finally played around with aquafaba. The aquafaba part being the fun in all of it! So to celebrate my new found hobby I want to share this super simple aquafaba chocolate mousse with you today.Read more

WHAT I ATE IN A DAY + VLOG

I haven't shared a video in a while and I thought it was about time I got back up and did so. This vlog is a simple what I ate in a day video but as always I like to show a little of what we get up to and also share a little bit about what I'm thinking about at the moment. And, when I filmed it last week, I was just getting out of feeling a little lost and asking myself why I'm making these videos.Read more

SPICED LENTIL SOUP W/ COCONUT MILK AND TOMATO

Yes I'm still making soups! I know it's May but so far spring has served us up an array of varying weather and the warm days are interspersed with very cool ones with icy wind. So, spiced lentil soup. To be honest I can eat soup in any climate and any season though and this spicy, coconut creamy, tomato-y lentil soup without any big chunks of veg feels like a spring evening kind of meal to me. I'm sure some of you are as much soupoholics as me and I look forward for you to try this one.Read more

RAMPS AND NETTLE PESTO PASTA SALAD (OIL-FREE)

Greetings from a grey Sweden,

Unfortunately the sun has left us yet again over here after a blissful weekend of sun. I am enjoying the quiet and serenity of this more somber weather however and accepting that spring will arrive a little later than expected. I have however a very springy recipe to share with you that includes ingredients found in nature typically in spring here in the Northern hemisphere. It's a ramps nettle pesto pasta salad as you will have gathered from the post title and it's totally green and totally delicious.Read more

BEETROOT BURGER W/ MILLET AND BLACK BEANS + HERBY SALAD + TAHINI DRESSING

Hello friends,

It's been a while again! Especially since I posted a recipe so I'm excited to share these beetroot burgers with you today. I will from now on try to post once a week, either with recipes, guides or vlogs. I'm hoping this will allow me to produce more quality content. While you might not see my work as lacking in that department I often feel stressed to produce more than I've got stored. At other times it can be the other way around too but I'm hoping to also make more time for actualising myself and my work more in 'the real life'. Meaning in person where I get more face time with people. I'm looking into some courses at the moment and I'm planning to become a health coach or similar at some point in the near future.Read more

MAURITIUS VLOG + IMPRESSIONS + PHOTO BOMB

Hello and happy almost weekend,

I was debating how to share all the photos I took in Mauritius and in what way all this material would be best received. I didn't come to any scientific conclusions however and I'm now sharing it all in this one post. I hope you'll enjoy the sensory overload and watch both the video of Rob and I doing fun island things and all the photos to follow down below. I have visited Mauritius a few times before, and I do find myself very lucky, but this will be my very first Mauritius vlog so I'm excited to be able to share my experience with you more closely.Read more

VEGAN IN DURBAN + VLOG

Hi Guys,

It's been a while! If you're a subscriber to my youtube channel you'll have been in touch more recently than here on the blog with this last vlog from Dubai, which I failed to upload here on the blog. Since then I've been to Durban, South Africa as well as Mauritius, then back to Dubai for a couple of days before finding myself here. Back at home in front of my laptop. Now you might think I'm chilling and finishing off lose ends that I'm back home but actually I hit the ground running with my father and his wife coming to stay over the weekend. It's all happening over here but now that I've finally got a moment to sit down here I want to share the vlog with you and a few pointers about being vegan in Durban.
