Swedish Cinnamon Buns

One of my favourite places to visit is Stockholm, not just because we have family living there, but I have always had a strong affection for Swedish design and food culture. And I’m not just talking about IKEA and their meatballs – I am a huge fan of both, by the way! I love many Swedish brands of furniture and home design, I love Swedish cuisine, and I love Fika. And the popular accompaniment to coffee at any Fika are Swedish Cinnamon Buns.

As a child, I loved anything which was slathered in icing. And it was a good thing that my parents ran a bakery because there was no shortage of cakes and buns generously decorated with a frosting of some sort. Iced Finger Buns remain a firm favourite from my childhood, but something I was only introduced to as an adult are Cinnamon Rolls.

Living and working in the US was one of the most enjoyable periods in my former life as a lawyer. And I’m still so thankful to my American colleagues who were always eager to introduce me to their favourite local cafés, restaurants and drive-thru.

Gingerbread Man Cookies

For me, no Christmas is complete without at least one batch of gingerbread man cookies. I say “one batch” but what I really mean is “one baking session” with maybe a triple batch!
