Healthy raw strawberry cake, my summer gift to you all!

in #food8 years ago

I'll share one of my favorite recipes for the summer to you all.

Its super YUMMY, gluten free, sugar free, vegan.. and did I say.. super YUMMY!

2 years ago I had the chance to make a book with Swedens biggest publisher Bonnier. It was for sure a bucketlist item to remember, making my own book. Raw fika is the name of the book. FIKA is a word, typical for Sweden. Me and my business partner Maria, wanted to make fika more healthier and cleaner. So we made a dessert book with only raw food.


Fika (Swedish pronunciation: [²fiːka]) is a concept in Swedish (and Finnish) culture with the basic meaning "to have coffee", often accompanied with pastries, cookies or pie.[1] A more contemporary generalised meaning of the word, where the coffee may be replaced by tea or even juice, lemonade or saft for children, has become widespread. In some social circles, even just a sandwich or a small meal may be denoted a fika similar to the English concept of afternoon tea. In Sweden pastries in general (for example cinnamon buns) are often referred to as fikabröd ("fika bread").The Swedish tradition is spreading through Swedish businesses around the world
