Sofia Talvik – Americana / Folk with Swedish Roots
Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy, creating a special niche of folk music.
The snow and cold has really covered Stockholm, but when I arrived in London it was still green and sunny. The blizzard hit the day after though but I doubt it will take some time before it stays on the ground like it does here. But even though it’s no winter wonderland in London (yes I know the rest of the UK is white already) they did pile up on the Christmas decorations.
In today’s episode I’m visiting London, a city all dressed up for Christmas.
It’s Saturday! So when you’re preparing for that party or dinner that you’re looking forward to tonight, make sure you treat yourself to a real good drink. As we learned how to make our own Glühwein yesterday, I’m sure you have a batch in the fridge by now. So get that bottle out and make a real good ice cold Glühwein cocktail! Check out today’s episode and I’ll show you how!
Glühwein Cocktail
4cl cold red Glühwein
3cl Brandy
1 dl Cranberry juice
Shake with ice cubes until ice cold. Serve with a cinnamon stick!
Thanks to Malin at “Allt om Mat” for the recipe
What to do in London on a cold Thursday night? Go to Jajaja’s Xmas Party and listen to my concert of course!

Annika Lantz is one of Sweden’s most beloved and well known radio show hosts. She’s got her own show in both national radio p4 and p1 so when I heard that she was dying to get on my Xmas Calendar as well I simply had to invite her. Somehow it’s really she who invited me, as today’s episode is being filmed in her radio studio, but I’m doing my best to take over the role as host and find out why Annika writes such gloomy haiku poems …
