Some weeks ago I had the honor of attending a fun cooking event at Electrolux with chef David Chang, the owner of Momofuku. He has been awarded with the White Guide Global Gastronomy Award and thus visited Sweden during a couple of days. The Swedish chefs Magnus Nilsson, Mathias Dahlgren and Sayan Eriksson also participated [...]

Smulgubbe – a cross between strawberries and wild strawberries

Sat, 03/10/2012 - 23:11
Photo from last year. Spring is slowly approaching and I can’t wait for all garden plants to wake up after the winter. My favourite berry, smulgubbe (Fragaria × vescana), is a cross between strawberries (Fragaria ×ananassa) and wild/woodland strawberries (Fragaria vesca). The Swedish name for strawberry is jordgubbe and the name for wild strawberry is [...]

Crock-Pot Goulash

Thu, 03/08/2012 - 20:50
This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago, while we still had lots of snow. Slow cookers, in this case a Crock-Pot, are fairly new in Sweden as opposed to the US where they’ve been on the market since the 70s. The food is cooked very slowly on a low temperature while you’re at [...]

Flourless mini chocolate cupcakes with “Polly fluff”

Tue, 02/07/2012 - 21:19
These adorable and moist mini cupcakes only contain 3 ingredients: eggs, chocolate and butter. The chocolate cake recipe came to my attention being one of the monthly challenges in “Daring Bakers” and thus popping up all over the internet. Regretfully I’m not a Daring Baker anymore due to lack of time, but never the less [...]

Maybe you recall our annual thirteen course dinner at Anne’s? Every year on Twelwth Night we have a gourmet dinner at her place. Every couple prepares one starter, one main course and one dessert. This year the dinner party had a twist, every course had to have a movie or a TV series connection… The [...]

(Virgin) Piña Colada Marshmallows

Tue, 12/20/2011 - 21:40
After making the raspberry marshmallows I got the idea of substituting the raspberries with pineapple and the icing sugar with desiccated coconut. I also considered adding rum, but decided to skip it in the very last minute. I like the outcome, but not as much as the raspberry ones. I believe that the pineapple flavor [...]

Raspberry marshmallows

Wed, 12/14/2011 - 21:48
As a teenager I had a long period when I made vanilla marshmallows on a regular basis, but as the years passed the marshmallow making slipped my mind. One week ago I found this amazing raspberry marshmallow recipe at Butter Sugar Flour. I would have never thought about combining homemade marshmallows with fruit. Do I [...]

Bake a gingerbread gable instead of a whole house!

Mon, 12/12/2011 - 17:42
Is just the thought of baking a whole gingerbread house too cumbersome for you? An easy way out is to make only one wall with gable that you decorate with icing and a ribbon. I used my normal gingerbread dough and rolled it out thinly directly on a parchment paper. I cut out a wall [...]
