An Introduction and A tribute


I am Christa and I love to bake. 
This is my Grandma (who I call Mormor) and this is my Grandpa (who I call Morfar). And it is to them that I credit my love of baking. My Grandpa would spend hours picking blueberries, cranberries, gooseberries and blackcurrants deep in the Swedish forest for hours and then my grandma would bake it into something tasty and I would eat, and eat and eat. From her I caught 'the baking bug'. Both a curse, and a blessing. A curse because sweet lordy, do I work my way through flour, butter and sugar, and a blessing because I LOVE it! It crept up on me, and the moment of realisation came when, at the age of 14 or so, I started baking two or three things at once, so I could freeze some of it so that there would ALWAYS be delicious eats! Here I hope to pass on to you the recipes she passes on to me and some more, for good measure. And, if you will indulge me, offload some of my baking talk, which I think is beginning to bore my family (yeh, I don't get that either).
Recipes will follow soon, from me to you as a thank you, for visiting.

  1. mmmmmm yummy. This recipe was just what I needed -real winter warming curl up in the chair comfort food. An easy recipe but real special. A great alternative too to Christmas cake but still having the winter spices. Keep the recipes coming Christa.
