Gravlax
When you think of Sweden, what comes to mind? Swedish meatballs? ABBA? Or perhaps marauding Vikings raiding trendy modular furniture stores? When I think of Sweden, the first thing that pops into my head is gravlax. Being part Japanese and part Swedish, it’s practically in my DNA to love this stuff! I have eaten it my entire life, but had never made it for myself. I always assumed that it would be a difficult process, when in all actuality, the most difficult part is waiting the 48 to 72 hours for the fish to cure. This recipe comes from our Family Cookbook and adapted from my Uncle Roger. It's been a family favorite for as long as I can remember.

Cheese Sables with Rosemary Salt
Can there be anything more fantastically savoury and moreish to have with a cocktail than a little cheese biscuit? That tang and crunch just go perfectly. These are crisp and with a good bite from strong cheese and a kick from the cayenne. Make a load of these to stash away in your freezer, ready to whip out when entertaining over Christmas. As you can see from my photograph, I served these with a Negroni but naturally the choice of drink is up to you. Or serve them anytime you would like a snack -- my children love them!
Spiced Cherries in Bacon
This might sound like the craziest recipe in the world and you may well raise your eyebrows at me but seriously give them a go. They are sweet, savoury, tangy, salty juicy little bundles of deliciousness and so good with a cold glass of something and on that note if I could steer you towards my Sloe Vespa, the Christmas cocktail then all the better.
Simple Homemade Tomato Soup
I used Barefoot Contessa's Easy Tomato Soup recipe as my baseline, but adjusted it to make it less rich/oily.

Wintry Braised Red Cabbage, Plus Some Jelly
Oven Braised Red Cabbage is a classic recipe, with the edges slightly crisp and charred, which plays beautifully off the rest of the tender long-cooked cabbage.
Butter-and-Goat Cheese Potato Purée
This recipe is a happy amalgamation of Sonali aka the Foodie Physician's Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese and Joël Robuchon’s famous Potato Purée. I suggest using the best quality butter, goat cheese, and milk you can find, because let's face it -- this is sort of a dairy recipe with some potatoes in it, rather than the other way around. It really is thoroughly delicious.
Baked feta cheese with sun dried tomato and capers
While on honeymoon in Santorini, I was so inspired by the ingredients they used, their local dishes and their flavour combinations. One of which was the heavenly marriage of feta cheese, tomatoes and capers. It got me thinking about so many different types of recipes, and this particular one was a real success. It is totally fuss free and easy to make, and a real crowd pleaser. This dish is best served as a sharing dish, so plonk it in the middle of the table with some roughly torn crusty bread, and enjoy the relaxed company of your guests with glass of red wine.

This kind of recipe is sometimes called "mock" chopped liver. It's a vegetable puree mixed with nuts, eggs, sauteed onion and can stand up to chopped liver anytime. Variations of the recipe are ubiquitous in Jewish homes, varying in the vegetable base and the proportion of nuts -eggs- vegetables. Serve with crudites, crackers or thin slices of canape type bread. This recipe is easy to make and always a hit.
