Who wants the recipe for these cinnamon rolls?🙋🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
Instagram went down on Monday so we missed out on cinnamon roll day - a day entirely dedicated to celebrating this popular sweet treat and highlighting popular Swedish traditions, like Fika.⁠
⁠
Who better to talk about fika than @fikabristol herself, who told us all about this Swedish tradition on our blog this week. Also included is the recipe for her very own cinnamon rolls - so get baking, fill your house with the smell of freshly made rolls and invite someone over for a fika. ⁠

Link to the recipe in our bio. Happy baking 👨🏽‍🍳⁠

What our customers have to say...

Absolutely delicious food. It tastes so fresh and light and the flavours are so yummy. Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious lasagne! And excellent value - were eating the leftovers throughout the week. Lovely experience and great communication from Elena throughout too - thank you! A great alternative to the standard takeaway and perfect comfort food!

What a treat for the taste buds! Ben’s food was delicious! We had the chicken and cauliflower dishes along with a selection of the dips. Everything was full of flavour and spiced perfectly. Communication was excellent and the pick-up was easy as well. Would highly recommend. We are already looking forward to our next order!

Mariangela's food was fantastic. The arancini were amazing, the pizzette were perfect and the veggi lasagne was very lovely. I am about to tuck into the cassata and cannoli. Yum!

Excellent tortelli and pink peppercorn sauce. Also very prompt and friendly delivery. Thank you!

Utterly delicious moussaka and zucchini patties. The baklava, too, is memorable. We have already repeated our order - and look forward to Duygu's range expanding.

Beautifully presented and delicious food! We really loved the Basbousa, and my husband felt very emotional eating Mona's harissa which reminded of him of his own mother's. I'm afraid I didn't get to try the Dawood Basha as it was gobbled up by the family too quickly! Very much recommended. Thank you Mona.

The spinach and feta pie was fantastic, freshly made and with a ton of delicious filling! Highly recommended.

The BEST pizza we've had in ages. Gorgeous fresh dough and the perfect amount of topping. We will definitely be ordering again!

The Tres Leches cake is definitely a must! It's delicious, thank you very much, Ximena. 5/5
