06 Aug Whole Grain Buckwheat Pancakes

Posted at 10:55h in Pancakes & Waffles by Thea Tillberg 9 Comments

I'm back in France to spend my last weeks of summer vacation here. Even though I love being here I get a lot of baking abstinence because I can't find my usual grains and flours in the grocery store. Fortunately I have a bag of whole grain buckwheat flour and a bag of almond flour(meal). These flours would make a quite dense and dry cake or bread but for pancakes they work wonders! I like to use whole grain flours since you get all the amazing nutrients but they often have a very strong flavor and are pretty dense. Whole grain buckwheat...

25 Jul How To Make A Flax Egg

Posted at 15:14h in Basic recipes by Thea Tillberg 5 Comments

The first time I saw a flax egg in the ingredients list of a vegan recipe I had no idea what it was. Inside brackets it said "1 tbsp flax seeds + 3 tbsp of water" so I did what the recipe told me and added the water and the flax seeds to the cake batter. Somehow the cake turned out super dry and I had no idea why. Until I found a blog post on the internet on how to make a flax egg the right way. I made the cake again with a "real" flax egg and it was delicious!...

As long as I can remember me and my family have eaten "Margaretatårta" (Margareta cake) on the 20th of July every single year. There are no specific rules for the cake except it has to consist of some kind of sugar cake, whipped cream and the most important ingredient of them all, Strawberries! My mom always used to bake the cake but these last few years I've been making it instead or we've made it together. Every year the cake turns out different from the year before, sometimes we do a tropical version with kiwi, banana, apricot and raspberries for the...

I know that this site has been very chaotic these last few days and I've had to remake the whole site because there were some broken file or something. It's been really challenging to create this new blog and to learn all about wordpress.org. However I can really see how much I've developed. When I first made this site public I had spent 2 weeks on it and today I had to remake the whole thing, COMPLETELY and it's taken me just a day. I can tell you it's been a bloody frustrating day...

04 Jul Raw Apricot Chia Jam

Posted at 11:55h in Basic recipes, Video Tutorials by Thea Tillberg 6 Comments

I've made my very first video on my youtube channel! It's a very simple recipe for Chia seed jam. I used apricots in this recipe but you could use any kind of fruit or berries. However, you might need to adjust the amount of honey depending on which fruit you use. If you're using strawberries or raspberries it's enough with 1 tbsp honey. I know that the music might seem a little dramatic for an instruction video on how to make jam, but it's difficult to find music that is free to use. Raw Apricot Chia Jam - yields about 1 cup Ingredients: 3...
