Gluten-free and Vegan Icelandic Marriagebliss Cake
On my Icelandic allergy blog (fullt af mat) I posted this Icelandic Marriagebliss cake known in Iceland as hjónabandssæla. It is a great oatmeal cake that we love to bake frequently. Traditionally we use rhubarb jam but I haven’t found a jam that doesn’t taste good in this cake! I wanted to translate this into…

Butterzopf
I wonder frequently what languages I plan on speaking with my child when I will have one. Will I speak to it in English, the language I think in most of the time, Icelandic, the language in this country, or German, technically my mother tongue. Being half-Swiss/half-Icelandic there has always been a question of what…

Icelandic Rice Pudding
I wanted to write about the Icelandic Rice Pudding (grjónagrautur) or otherwise know as the most simple but delicious rice pudding! I love making this rice pudding and do eat it frequently.

Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls
There is nothing better than a cup of coffee and something sweet with it. The original recipe for the dough in the cinnamon rolls comes from Hólabrekkuskóli but I have made some changes to it. The main change that I made (and usually make with all baked goods) is that I don’t put as much sugar as…

Icelandic Candy: Nói Síríus Chocolate
I like chocolate. Well,this is an understatement, I love chocolate. So I decided to take on the hard task to rate the ten different chocolate bars that Nói Síríus produces that are part of their Rjómasúkkulaði range.
