Welcome to this week’s episode of Linnea Lund’s Food Fridays where every Friday we share one of our favorite Swedish dishes for you and your loved ones to try out at home. Every day should be a time for sharing and exchanging recipes and traditions with family, friends and colleagues. This is why we want to share a little of our Swedish culture with you!

   Today’s recipe is for Blåbärsrutor; a refreshingly sweet blueberry pie! This recipe is buttery and sure to melt in your mouth. Cafe Suedois gave us their recipes to share with you so that you may enjoy these from the comfort of your own home. If you are in Paris and aren’t much of a baker we recommend that you stop by Cafe Suedois and try theirs instead!

   Bake a batch and share the sweetness. This is an easy recipe and perfect to impress your friends and colleagues!
