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.
In May 2010 I will be releasing my 4th studio album. At the moment I’m working hard on recording everything, and if you keep checking in on my facebook page and my twitter page you’ll be able to follow me live in the studio most day through Ustream.

This is the last window of my Xmas Calendar. Thank you for watching! I’m wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
In the next to last episode of my Xmas Calendar, me and my hubby is making Christmas fudge. This might be a totally confusing episode for everyone who’s not Swedish as we’re making fun of a Swedish television show throughout the episode. I can’t really explain any further, but whenever you see the indication “in a funny voice” you’ll know we’re not totally serious … Here’s the fudge recipe for all of you that want to make it at home, with or without the funny voice:
Fudge
2 cups/dl of double cream
2 cups/dl white sugar
2 cups/dl sirup
scalded, finely chopped almonds
mix everything in a pan and cook until it’s 120°C (or 123° if you want a chewier fudge)

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.
