Semlor

Fat Tuesday is one of our most celebrated food days & rolls ( semlor) are eaten in almost every home in Sweden. Fat Day itself is February 13 this year & throughout the season we manage to eat around 50 million rolls ( semlor) in the country. We have been eating these buns on Constitution Day since the Middle Ages & it’s said that King Adolf Fredrik died because he greedily stuffed 14 semlor in 1771.

The celebration of Fatty Day comes from the Christian holiday established when fasting for 40 days before Easter in order to eat properly. During Lent, one was supposed to live spartanly, not eat meat or feast in any other way, so it was about partying properly on Fattiday.

Bread 🥯

Freshly baked bread, one of the most beautiful things you can offer & lovely to rest your eyes on. That in itself is enough for a refined dining experience. Great when you put the bread buns in a nice pattern too.

Baking mood

Now I’m not a baking (mom) even though I might wish I had the talent. But like most, I love freshly baked, newly baked, the smell, the heat and all that implies. I grew up with freshly baked cinnamon buns and a glass of milk as a snack. Nowadays, I see it more as a soothing activity with the preparations and the actual baking process itself.Also, I think the scent that spreads through the house, makes all in the household very friendly.
