I was actually wanting to try making some pepperoni rolls, and asked Mr. Sweden to pick up some sliced pepperoni at ICA because I saw they do carry it. The one he went to yesterday was apparently out, so he picked up the Scandi-“chorizo” instead. …

Recently, I took advantage of some seasonal deals and picked up some very nice thick bone-in pork which is particularly good for slower cooking. The portion that didn’t go into the freezer needed used up soon, and I had a hard time deciding what exactly …

“Cabbage Pudding” is an old standard of husmanskost, or Swedish traditional home cooking. It is very similar to the local version of cabbage rolls, but less complicated to put together. I have really enjoyed trying different Swedish dishes since we’ve been living here, and trying …
