Semlor, or semla (singular), are one of the most traditional pastries of Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Estonia. They consist of a cardamom bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream. In my case, I chose whipped cream and mascarpone, because to my taste, besides having a better texture and body, they are much richer.

The Swedish buns, known as 'Kanelbullar' (kanelbulle, singular), have become a culinary treasure of Swedish tradition. These buns, intricately twisted, imperfect and individual, capture the warm essence of cardamom from southern India. Cinnamon and cardamom are the most popular fillings, topped with Swedish pearl sugar on the cinnamon ones and a touch of sugar with cardamom on the cardamom ones. I encourage you to try them because they are delicious!

El Gud Til Ladoo, these sesame balls that you've probably seen before, is a traditional Indian sweet, especially popular during the winter and on festive occasions like Makar Sankranti and Lohri. This treat is made with simple but nutritious ingredients that include gud (jaggery in English, a type of unrefined sugar very common in Asia) and til (sesame seeds).

It's starting to smell like summer, and one of the scents inevitably associated with warm weather is lemon. Baking any cake that includes it, as is the case with this Lemon and Meringue Cake, leaves a wonderful aroma in the kitchen and, I assure you, it's hard not to give in to the temptation to taste it before bringing it to the table.
