Last weekend I organized with my friend from http://unasemplicepassione.blogspot.com/
a lovely pre xmas winterfood party. People came with their typical winter/xmas food from all over the world. We had well known classics like
 |
- italian "Lasagne"
- swedish "Janssons Frestelse"
- spanish/galician "Empanadas"
- south-african sweet "Koeksisters"
- filipino "Sticky Rice Cake"
- swiss/toggenburg "Schlorzifladen"
The Koeksisters I already have in my future food to do list :P. Really yummy dessert that I had never heard anything from.
For the party I prepared some Nordic classics like swedish Glögg, Lussebullar and estonian Pikkpoiss with beetroots.
GLÖGG
The word glögg comes from "glödga" to heat up something. My dear friend from Switzerland thought it means "Glück", luck in german :). I guess we are lucky ones to try all those different winter treats.
If you want some winter luck, follow the recipe below :P.
