]]>Most recently we’ve taken a liking to her sixth cookbook, The Little Swedish Kitchen, which provides an ideal introduction to Swedish cooking (which Khoo describes as a “must-try cuisine” that is much more than the tried and true meatballs and cinnamon buns).
According to Wikipedia, Swedish cuisine could be described as centered around cultured dairy products, crisp and soft (often sugared) breads, berries and stone fruits, beef, chicken, lamb, pork, eggs, and seafood. Khoo’s balanced approach to cooking means she often samples the best-loved ingredients and curates the perfect meal. Her book includes over 100 recipes, with dishes such as Poached Chicken with Quick Pickled Strawberry Salad; Peas Potatoes and Chicken in a Pot; Midsummer Meringue Crowns; and Plum Tosca Cake.
A British cook through and through, Khoo spent much of her formative years in England but has traveled the world, perfecting her approach to dining. The Little Swedish Kitchen is in fact based on her experiences in Sweden, having moved there back in 2016.

]]>Kanelbullar, Swedish cinnamon buns, are the main element of fika. And on cold, rainy days, Swedes spend hours making them before storing them in the freezer for when visitors come. These buns are so popular that there’s even a Cinnamon Bun Day on October 4.
Semla’s are also a popular fika treat and they’re typically eaten every Tuesday from Shrove Tuesday in the middle of February until Easter. The wheat-flour bun is filled with almond paste and cream.
Fika dates back to the 19th century and during this time, housewives hosted coffee parties where they were expected to serve at least seven different kinds of cookies. No two cookies are alike and they all feature different fillings and flavors.
This chocolate cake is gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside. It’s made with 200 grams of solid dark chocolate and is often served with cream and berries.
Prinsesstårta, or princess cake, resembles a princess’s ballgown and is often served at birthday parties. It’s made up of layers of sponge, vanilla custard, raspberry jam, and whipped cream. It’s covered in a layer of light green marzipan and topped with a pink marzipan rose.
