Kladdkaka

Star Quality…

An ability to make this delicious torte and a proficiency in Swedish are some of the skills my daughter cherishes, having experienced a memorable six months in Sweden. On her return, availing of the opportunity to work with a firm that provided location catering for film crews & enthused about her new culinary experiences she suggested a Swedish themed menu. Imagine her excitement when the star of the production Glenn Close sampled her Kladdkaka…  JJ
