Blogging By Mail - Package Arrived!

I am a week late in posting, but I received my Blogging By Mail package! What a treat it was to find a package chock full of Swedish specialities sent to me all the way from Sweden! Kristina of Clivia's Cuisine was kind enough to send it.
Kristina's package contained the following items:

  • little jar of pink peppercorns

  • big pouch of cloud berry tea

  • a jar each of yellow and blue sprinkles and a pack of Swedish flags. This way I can properly celebrate Sweden's National Day on June 6th)

  • two delicious Diam chocolate toffee bars

  • toasted oat flour Swedish Traditional cracker bread

  • big bag of raisins

  • and the most amazing Swedish Cakes and Cookies cookbook! Kristina thoughtfully went through the book, taking time to highlight several of her personal favorite recipes too. I cannot wait to make several of these gems!

Kristina also wrote me a very sweet letter and took the time to hand write a recipe for Pink peppercorns, ginger, and almond cantuccini (which I believe is similar to biscotti). How sweet is she? Thank you Kristina for sending me such a sincere package and to Stephanie of Dispensing Happiness for organizing the event.

I was just catching up on some of your posts and came across this one - I have the same cookbook - I've never seen it anywhere else before. My family is from Sweden and I still have some distant relatives there that sent the same cookbook to me a few years back. Very cool.
