The Forgotten Meringue
2008-01-22 11:58:00
Does anybody want some snow? I am tired of shovelling snow, you know. It has been snowing almost every day this month. I no longer know what to do with it. Children like to play in the snow and when we sometimes run out of water, snow can be melted. However, it requires lots of snow to create a full bucket of water. Well, eventually it will melt and disappear into the ground - sooner or later. It's a comfort to know. Another dilemma. A completely different one. Cooking and baking sometimes give us an excess of leftover egg whites and we do not know what to do with them. Instead of throwing them away, there are other solutions. Here is a recipe I have tried. I found it many years ago, lost it and found it again: INGREDIENTS:* 5 egg whites* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder* 3 1/2 dl (350 ml) sugar METHOD:1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees C [=437 degrees F].2. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy.3. Fold in the sugar mixed with baking powder. 4. Pour the meringue batter into a ...

I don't like porridge,Skinny and brown;Waiting for breakfastWhen I come down-Whatever happens,However late,Porridge is alwaysSure to wait!This is the beginning of a poem, published in one of my first English schoolbooks. Although it is from 1956 or so, I can still remember it.Nowadays, I don't have to eat porridge for breakfast unless I want to. It is not exactly my favorite breakfast food.A couple of years ago I started to make my own chewy and crunchy granola, or müsli as we say in Sweden. Making your own is less expensive than buying it. Each batch makes enough to last about two-three weeks for me and my husband. We mix it with milk or yogurt, and sometimes with pieces of fresh fruit or berries. My husband eats it as a snack too.It can be varied and personalized to your own taste by adding flax seeds, sesame seeds, dried raisins, shredded coconut, honey, ground cardamom ....INGREDIENTS:about 1500 ml/1,5 liter* 1 l (1000 ml) rolled oats (porridge oats)* 4 dl (400 ml) rye flakes*...

Swedish "Glögg" Party Recipe
2007-12-04 12:12:00
When grey November turns to dark December, when the nights seem too long, when daylight hours are few, when my soul suffers from Nordic winter depression, when my body most of all wants to spend the winter in hibernation.Then what happens?I have to focus on Christmas preparations.In Swedish , Christmas is called "jul" (yule). "Jul" has been celebrated in Northern Europe since ancient time. Our ancestors, the old Vikings, used to drink a lot of strong Yule ale, toasting "to a good new year and peace".Today we are more moderate in "drinking Yule". However, when Advent comes, we get together, invite our friends to parties and drink a hot, spicy mulled wine called "glögg". Organizing a "glögg-party" is a nice way to start off the Christmas season."Glögg" is traditionally served in small mugs together with a spoonful of chopped almonds and raisins. On the side, traditional Swedish gingersnaps (pepparkakor). They are used as crackers and topped with a mixture of whipped cream and green mol...

Grandmother´s Plum Marmalade Recipe
2007-11-11 23:34:00
I rarely purchase fresh Swedish plums. Our plum season is very short - from September to October. Like all fruits, I also have to buy the plums in a grocery store. They are imported from other parts of the world, and available all year round. The plum trees are hardy, thriving in cool, dry climates. The fruit can be used in many ways - fresh, dried, cooked or in other forms. This is an old-time plum marmalade recipe. It comes from my grandmother´s cookbook.Well, I am not sure whether I should call it marmalade or jam?I looked up the word "marmalade" in my Standard Dictionary of the English language:Marmalade: A preserve made by boiling the pulp and part of rind or skin of fruits, usually citrus fruits, with sugar to the consistency of jam.Then I looked up the word "jam".Jam: A pulpy, sweet conserve of fruit boiled with sugar; distinguished from jelly.I still don´t quite understand the difference. Besides, "Marmelada" is a Portuguese word derived from "marmelo", describing a quince c...

A Swedish Herring Sandwich Recipe
2007-10-19 13:29:00
Last Sunday I bought plenty of fish from a fishmonger who usually comes to my village once every two months to sell fresh shellfish and saltwater fish.I purchased fillets of 'strömming'. (The Latin name is Clupea harengus membras).'Strömming' is the Swedish name for a small, iridescent glossy food fish of the herring family. Sometimes it is also called Silver of the Sea. They swim in vast shoals, filtering plankton out of the water with their gill rakers as they move. They also form the staple food of cod and haddock, for instance.The concentration of dioxin in this fish is higher than the prescribed EU maximum, which has led to dietary restrictions. However, it is very high in healthy long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids. So, it is a balance between the harm and health benefits of this fish.Eating fried 'strömming', potato mash and grated carrots now and then does not harm me. I do not belong to any of the risk groups.It is a good idea to fry more than needed for one dinner and the...
