What's life in Lund like? It's great but kinda stressful. My schooldays are very long, I have so many things to do and I'm also renovating my apartment. At first I didn't have a shower for almost 3 weeks and had to shower at the gym. And at the moment I don't have a kitchen and the rest (read one bedroom) is filled with Ikea cabinets for the new kitchen. So apart from doing the dishes on the toilet, living in a chaos and not having time for anything, it's great! I love Lund, I love architecture school and I love being able to sketch and...

28 Sep Postcard From New York (+ a few notes about the future)

Long time, no see... Never thought It'd take more than five weeks until I updated the blog again but there's been so many changes in my life these last couple of months and I haven't had the time to even think about the blog. If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I'v moved to Lund to study architecture for 5 years. So I'm just in the beginning of getting to know a new city, a new home, a new kitchen, new friends and so many other things. The first weeks in Lund have been really intense with a lot of initiation activities and parties but I'm trying to bake whenever I've got time because it's the only thing that is normal in my life at the moment.

20 Aug Postcard From Munich

Can't believe it's been 7 weeks since I last updated the blog, that's almost 2 months! I've never been away for this long before but it's been a very busy summer and I haven't had a lot of time for baking or blogging. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I've been traveling quite a lot lately. One of the cities I visited was Munich where I studied german for three weeks. Since I haven't had the time to develop a recipe for you I thought you might appreciate a travel post with a few photos from my trip. Some of...

My dad: Thea, are you making flour at 10 o'clock in the evening? Me: Yesss... I'm just feeding my sourdough starter... Me and my grain mill(ehmm.. my mum's grain mill) probably have a little too close relationship. I spend more time with it then a normal person should, especially considering I'm only 18. Seriously, how many 18 year olds make their own flours? Even when I feed my sourdough starters (yep, I got two. Did I say I was 18?) I grind a small amount of flour solely for that purpose because I don't want to store old flour in my cupboards. Such a waste of nutrients when I have the possibility to have fresh flour 24/7.

14 Jun Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Two days ago I graduated from high school and yesterday I had my graduation reception at home in our garden. It was the warmest day of the year so far and I think that everyone had a great time. I've been baking every single day during this week to prepare for the reception and I baked sourdough bread rolls, seed crackers, rhubarb crumbles and carrot cakes. At first I thought I was going to keep it simple and only make one dessert(rhubarb crumble because it's so easy!) and no bread at all for the main but I'm an obsessed person and I couldn't stop baking, or rather stop...

03 Jun Blood Orange Granola

I'm aware that this post isn't 100% appropriate for the current season but I actually made this blood orange granola several months ago when the stores were filled with affordable citrus fruits. The citrus season must have been a busy time for me because somehow I forgot to post this recipe. Today I was looking through some old recipes in my folders on my computer and found this blood orange granola. Since I haven't had time to create a new recipe this week I thought I might as well post this one, because it's too good not to share.
