Red Currant and Oat Cookies

The currant season usually begins here at the end of June. That’s when you can find the berries fresh – red, white or black, like clusters of shiny pearls – on display in the supermarket or at local fruit growers. I wasn’t always a big fan of those translucent red pearls which, when crushed on the palate, burst into a tart explosion in the mouth. In my childhood, it felt as though they were a staple ingredient in my morning muesli all summer long. It was always far too tart f

Wild Garlic 'Franzbrötchen'

Västerbottensost-Paj

I brought this ‘cheese quiche’ back with me from one of my travels in Sweden. The cheese that gives it its name is produced in northern Sweden, more precisely in the province of Västerbotten between the Gulf of Bothnia and the mountains of Norway.
