Salad Olivier
A delicious salad that is almost a must in the Persian cuisine. We always serve Salad Olivier on our buffet when there is a festivity. There are many stories about this salad – but I have been told that the salad originates from Russia – the Iranians loved it so much, so they have made their own version.

Coleslaw!
I love coleslaw, don’t really remember but I know we ate a delicious coleslaw at a restaurant and I asked for the recipe, it’s probably over 20 years ago. Received a recipe for several kilos of coleslaw from the restaurant. The recipe was added to my collection and I forgot all about it! Continue reading “Coleslaw!”

Freekeh Salad
Freekeh has been used in the Middle East for ages. It is green wheat grain that is harvested before it is ripe. There are both crushed and whole Freekeh. If you want to lose weight, you can replace rice with the new trendy Freekeh as it has a low GI. You will feel satisfied for a long time, I promise! Continue reading “Freekeh Salad”
Dressing from Getryggen!
My dear niece Shirin with family has a summer cottage in Getryggen in the region of Hälsingland, Sweden, a wonderful place where visitors can fully charge their batteries! This is the place where you just do whatever you want.
We gathered there to celebrate Kahan (nephew) and Tina (his wife) who together became 100 years! I made the dinner and Shirin made the salad dressing that was incredibly good! Asked to get the recipe of course!

Tasty twirls!
I ordered party food for my brother in law from a place called Ingelsta Kalkon here in Sweden, everything is made out of Turkey. They had some twirls that were incredibly delicious. I exchanged recipes with the company, they received a recipe from me and I was told how the twirls were made, but no measure. Now I’ve tested it several times and it just gets better and better.
The twirls from Ingelsta Kalkon did not have as much bacon as I use, they were significantly smaller as well. But here is my version or interpretation of these tasty twirls. It is very nice to serve it with a drink before dinner for example. I served it with champagne when I held Baby Shower for my daughter-in-law. She loves these twirls and I make it for her every time they come for a visit 😊 Continue reading “Tasty twirls!”
My Persian-Greek Spinach Pie
When I was organizing a baby shower for my daughter in law, Anna, I decided to make spinach pies. A friend of mine had given me a recipe, I knew how he made it but no measures! I have now adjusted everything to my own taste and I am happy to say that the result was incredibly good.
Took some with me when I visited my brother in law who is 95-year-old and who is quite picky when it comes to food. He gave me feedback that I should add a little more acidity in the pie. I myself thought that I needed some crunchiness in the pie as well. Continue reading “My Persian-Greek Spinach Pie”
Spring rolls my way!
I received the recipe once on a flight where I had a Chinese gentleman who was seated next to me. We came to talk about food – wonderful subject that everyone is interested in. I asked how his mother used to make spring rolls and got a pretty good description, I wrote down some notes which I found the other day and just had to try it with some modifications of course 😊 Continue reading “Spring rolls my way!”
