I’m Klara, a Swedish-born recipe developer and food creator now living in New York after thirteen years in London. I make food that’s simple, seasonal, flavour-forward and realistic for people who don’t want to spend their entire lives chopping.

I operate on a strict personal rule: garlic, lemon and olive oil must always be in the house. If any of them run out, the day is basically ruined. I also keep an ingredients cupboard that looks like I’m preparing for a small apocalypse, but somehow I use all of it.

I love thrifting, especially for props and ceramics. Most of my favourite pieces cost next to nothing and still manage to look better on camera than anything I’ve ever bought full-price.

When I’m not developing recipes or shooting content for brands, I’m usually testing new ideas, rearranging my “essential” ingredients, or running around the city with my little one.
