I am on a constant search for delicious gluten-free goodies since I became gluten free three years ago. It’s easy at home, when I can cook and
bake myself, but in Stockholm; the land of cardamom buns, it’s a bit tougher to
find sweets to enjoy with my delicious coffee. That’s why I was overjoyed to
discover FriendsOfAdam, a gluten free bakery just a few blocks from our friend
Jen’s Apartment (and our temporary home) in Sodermalm. Karin Moberg, the
founder, left her corporate career to open FriendsOfAdam
after her son was diagnosed with celiac, on the assumption that “Everyone
should be able to eat good bread.”
EVERYTHING they bake is delicious. From the weightless cardamom
cookies to the perfectly textured Danish rye bread, to their own version of the
Swedish cinnamon buns, to their melt-in-your-mouth muffins (the kind that are
light and buttery, unlike the usually dense and heavy gluten free muffins one
finds) – I was in heaven. Oh, and their flat bread and crackers are perfect
too. As Corey and I packed for
Finland today, I slowly ate my last slice of fruit-and-nut bread thinking that I wouldn’t have this
feeling – the feeling that I’m eating “real” bread for a while again. But, who
knows, maybe I will discover other amazing gluten free bakeries in the other
Nordic countries?! After all, we’ve only seen Sweden.
