Leila Lindholm - my favorite Swedish blogger

The Swedish Leila Lindholm knew already as a child that she wants to devote her life to the art of gastronomy therefore went to restaurant schhol without saying. She collected experiences not only in Sweden but in New York's famous restaurants.

She also worked as a food stylist for ads and commercials in Swedish and foreign food magazines. She started  to cooperate with the Swedish TV-channel, the TV4 in 2004, where she created a completely new type in the history of food television. 

Instead of posh and fancy restaurants' recipes she invented something new. She started to deliver food for stressed out families with small kids. Since then she made several tv gastro shows which hit high records. 

Besides the above she is the author of 5 cook books as well. Her books: Leilas middagtips (Leila dinner tips), Leilas guldkant på vardagen,  Hello cupcake!, A piece of cake and One More Slice. All her books has been sold in record numbers in Sweden. In consideration of the big success the books have been published in many other European countries too. In Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Netherlands. 

When she published her 4th book, the One More Slice, her publishing company, the Walter and Books started also. This book keeps going where her previous cake bible, the Piece of Cake finished. This new book became a bestseller immediately in Sweden, it jumped to the top of the sales charts, what is  also proved by that 50.000 copies were sold throughout the country within a half year. The book was published in Great Britain, Germany, France, Denmark and Finland in 2011 spring. Otherwise she awarded the Swedish Publishing Award as well. 

The 5th book, the Hello Cupcake! was published in 2011 October, and since 2012 spring it's availablein abroad too .
