Gluten Free Chocolate Biscotti with Orange Zest

The other day, at work, my colleges made biscotti and I got inspired to make my own, gluten free of course. Dry cakes suits often good to make gluten free.

Try this recipe of crunchy cookies that taste even better a day or two later—if they last that long. Fill the cookie jar with this Italian favorite for a satisfying, sophisticated sweet. Serve with a delicious cup of espresso.

These buns are made with flour and are difficult to find gluten free in stores. But you can of…

Mom's Gratin Shrimps

Mom´s Gratin Shrimps in a mild spicy cream sauce topped with cheese was my favorite dish when I was a kid. I love starters, possibly more than the main courses, but I don´t make it as often as I wish. If I have to choose between a starter or dessert, I choose starter every time.

Classic Crème Brûlée

That something so simple as Crème Brûlée can be so good is amazing. It´s a classic dessert from the french kitchen, that will impress your guests.  It takes a wile in the oven and is best done the day before serving. The secret to succeed is to use good quality vanilla-pod and to “double burn” it. I like to serve my Crème Brûlée with fresh berries.

I found this fool proof recipe from a swedish…

Looking for ideas to your New Years Eve dinner? Shrimps on toast (Toast Skagen) is a classic, simple Swedish starter and wonderful way to start of New Years. I think a Toast Skagen should be basic and not to advanced, but in my version I add horseradish for extra flavor.
