Kitchen Love: March 2024

Easter Love from Gothenburg. This year Easter is early. The sun is shining and the gardens are slowly coming to life. As I sit in my warm apartment and draft this newsletter outside is cold and you still need to wear a winter coat here as it is still only 2 degrees most mornings.

I have recently achieved another milestone with 106 members for the Kitchen Love newsletter. Thank you to everyone who supports reading this. Sorry, I missed last month due to health reasons. I do wonder if what I am writing and posting is what you would like to see and read. Please send me an email if you have any ideas.

Every year I create a new hot cross bun recipe. This year I am still working on a sourdough hot cross bun recipe, if I perfect it in time I will share it very soon.

With Easter coming up I have compiled a list of 16 cake recipes you can make ahead of time. I love to be organised and if I can make the dessert the day before I have guests or need to be somewhere for a party or a dinner out then even better. There are many of my favourites on this list from the original tiramisu to a simple vanilla cake and gluten-free: Chocolate Almond Date Torte

New Online Cooking Classes

I am excited to offer a new service – a personal, online cooking class.

You have a recipe you are struggling with or a new recipe you are too scared to try by yourself. You would like a second opinion to ensure you are on the right track.

The online cooking class is a one-on-one video call where I offer my support while you are in the comfort of your kitchen. You will have someone by your side to solve any baking issues or organise your pantry and kitchen space.
