Posted at 23:59h in Life, link love & travel by Thea Tillberg 6 Comments

I'd not planned to post anything today but when I saw all the other beautiful 2014 summaries all over the internet I got inspired and decided to make one as well. The pictures are taken from my bedroom window and you can see our light garland on our balcony and my neighbors snow covered trees. I hope that 2015 will be a great year for every single one of you! I'm looking forward to it! Even though I'm not much for new years resolutions I like to put up some goals for myself every year and I'm still working on...

28 Dec Gluten Free Baking Guide

Posted at 16:38h in Uncategorized by Thea Tillberg 6 Comments

This post has been on my mind for awhile and I really hope you’ll like it. I’ll share some tips about gluten free baking, what ingredients I keep in my pantry and what ingredients are actually gluten free. This post is now placed in the top menu so that it’s easy to find. It’ll be treated as a page rather than a post and I'll probably change and add things over time. I know it's quite a lot to read but I've added a ton(maybe a little too many?) of pictures to make it easier. Start with the headlines and skim...

21 Dec Merry Christmas! (+ link love, + a september night in Stockholm)

Posted at 17:27h in Life, link love & travel by Thea Tillberg 0 Comments

Hi everyone! As I mentioned in my last post I've been working on a school musical(I'm working on the scenography, so I'm not in the musical) this week and because of that I haven't had time to create a new recipe for you. Of course, I didn't want to leave you without anything to read or watch this weekend so I thought I'd post some photos I took during a night in Stockholm, way back in September, and share some links that I've enjoyed lately. I'm heading to the Swedish Mountains on Monday to celebrate Christmas. I'll cross-country ski, eat lots of food, make snow angels,...

14 Dec Gingerbread Tipi (+ Free PDF Template)

Posted at 17:30h in Cookies by Thea Tillberg 27 Comments

Last year I was hit by a gingerbread house fever and spent two days making a classic Swedish turn of the century villa with gelatine glass windows. I was so happy when it was finally finished so I left it on the dining table as a centerpiece. For some reason I couldn't sleep that night and suddenly I heard a noise from the dining room. I knew immediately what the sound was, but I really hoped that I was wrong. Unfortunately I wasn't. My dog Hälge was standing with his front paws on the dining room table and he was looking at me...

07 Dec Gluten Free Swedish Saffron Buns

Posted at 20:33h in Breads & Yeasted Doughs, Uncategorized, Video Tutorials by Thea Tillberg 16 Comments

This weekend I've been baking gluten free Swedish saffron buns. I haven't done much more than that. (Except for reading the summary of Kafka's "The Trial" on Spark Notes because I forgot to read the book and I have a Swedish essay due tomorrow :( ) It might sound like I've had a peaceful and relaxing weekend but I didn't just bake saffron buns once, I had to make them again this morning. When I was filming this tutorial I apparently forgot to press the record button when I shaped all the buns...

30 Nov Christmas Raisin Bread

Posted at 17:18h in Breads & Yeasted Doughs by Thea Tillberg 17 Comments

This week I've attended a Japanese gift wrapping class where the average age was 55+, then I got sick for 4 days and missed a university(or is it college??)fair and yesterday I baked this bread because it's the first of advent today. For me, the first of advent means that it's finally okay to start christmas baking! I actually started a while ago with gf gingerbread cutout cookies and gf swedish saffron buns. This gluten free christmas bread is inspired by a traditional Swedish bread called "wort bread" which we usually eat during christmas and easter. It's similar to the British "malt loaf". My...
