In Sweden, it is very common to prepare your own christmas candy. We gather with family and friends and make caramel, marzipan, gingerbread and chocolate for a whole day. We drink mulled wine, do small talks, cooking and trying not to finish all goodies. Finally you roll home with a full stomach and hopefully a bowl of homemade candy to enjoy for Christmas (if you didn’t eat it all during the making of…).
I’m really doing my best with eating more and more green food but one of the things I really miss is cheese. Cheese that taste like cheese without the milk and without any unnecessary additives. And then I found this cheese, a really good feta cheese made with almonds. I’m in heaven!
