Hej! I want to share with you the wonders of Scandinavian and Nordic cuisine, and how it can be enjoyed even if you’re vegan. The cuisine is known for being simple yet flavorful, and it’s heavily influenced by the surroundings. In the colder months, There’s nothing better than to warm up with hearty dishes like potato dumplings and some warm Danish cakes fresh out the oven.
With a little creativity and some quality ingredients, anyone can enjoy the taste of Scandinavia without compromising their vegan diet. So why not try making some Swedish meatballs with plant-based meat or a creamy mushroom sauce with oat cream? Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
Starters
As the crisp winter winds sweep across the fjords of Scandinavia, there’s nothing quite like gathering around the hearth with a hearty vegan starter. From earthy beetroot carpaccio to tangy pickled herring alternatives, the Nordic region offers a wealth of plant-based delights. And with a touch of creativity, you can transform classic dishes like Swedish meatballs into savory vegan delights. So embrace the spirit of hygge and indulge in the flavors of Scandinavia, all while staying true to your vegan lifestyle. Skál!
Mains
Hej alle sammen! (Hello everyone!)
I want to share with you some of my favorite Scandinavian vegan mains. While meat and fish may be a big part of the traditional cuisine, there are plenty of delicious plant-based options too.
One of the favorites is kålruletter, or cabbage rolls filled with a savory mix of rice, mushrooms, and herbs. We also love our root vegetables, like roasted beets and carrots with a tangy mustard dressing.
For something heartier, try frikadeller made with mashed potatoes and chickpeas, served with lingonberry sauce. Trust me, you won’t miss the meat!

Desserts
Finally, some of our delicious Scandinavian vegan desserts and cakes for you. From creamy delights to sweet and fruity treats, we’ve got something for everyone.
One classic dessert is chokladbollar, or chocolate balls, made with oats, coconut, and cocoa powder. For something more indulgent, try a slice of kladdkaka, a rich and gooey chocolate cake that’s perfect with a scoop of vegan ice cream.
During the summer months, we love our fresh berry desserts, like a Swedish strawberry cake or blueberry pie. And of course, no Scandinavian dessert list would be complete without mentioning our beloved cinnamon buns, or kanelbullar.
