STINGING NETTLE PESTO + HOW TO PICK AND PREPARE NETTLES

So, how do you pick and prepare stinging nettles to transform them from those stinging plants you spent your whole childhood avoiding to green, super healthy and tasty food? It’s honestly not that hard. Firstly, you will need something to pick them in. I used a 5L plastic bag but it would probably be better if…

CHICKEN w/ TOMATO HULLED OATS

Last week my absolute favorite artist, Lars Winnerbäck, released his new album (listen to it here) and I have been listening to it on repeat ever since. You can say I grew up with Winnerbäcks music – its been with me through my happiest moments, it have have helped me heal my broken heart and it have…

NO BAKE STRAWBERRY/ ELDERFLOWER FROZEN CHEESECAKE

I’ve started my morning with watching/laughing at all the cyclists that are doing ‘Vätternrundan’ (pronounced vet-turn-rund-an) today in the pouring rain. They ride by just outside our window. Vätternrundan is the one of the largest bicycle-races in the world – it’s 300 km long around the shoreline of Lake Vättern and actually have no winners….

SPICY STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

I’m back at work after a year off because of studies and gosh I’m so tired! I think I have suppressed how long days it is and how heavy all the lifting is. But the one thing I remembered correctly is how incredible fun it is to work with and around food. All my old favorite…

TAG ALONG – VISINGSÖ and SMULTRONSTÄLLEN

Last week I spent four amazing days on Visingsö at my parents house. I grew up on this small island in the south of Sweden – here there are around 700 people living all year around, it’s 14 kilometers long and mostly known for the nature, old castles and their horse carriages that take you around the whole…

GREEN PEA FRITTERS w/LEMON TAHINI DRESSING

I have had the clumsiest week in history. It all began with that headstand. I have just learned how to make them without a wall, so I was upside down trying to stay that way. Then I sneezed. Suddenly I was laying on the floor, face down and a nose that hurt. Then it was just downhill from that –…

PULLED SALMON SANDWICH w/ APPLE AND FENNEL SALAD

There is just something about open sandwiches that feels so much like summer to me. From the ones with cold bacon and eggs in the backpacks that religiously was eaten somewhere in the forest in school to the luxury shrimp-sandwiches on Tabergs topp as an adult whenever something is to be celebrated. However, the problem is that…

OVERNIGHT RASPBERRY FRENCH TOAST

I’m finally home – after a warm trip from Jönköping and after embarrassing myself in the Gränna harbor when I turned on the car alarm without having any keys to turn it off with. The sound got higher and higher, the cat got more and more stressed and I slid further and further down on the seat….

BEETROOT AND DILL HOUMOUS

Well Hello there, how are you? Long time no see, I got a bit caught up in the exam preparations to say the least. But now I´m finally finished and summer is officially here! Both exams felt like they went really well – even though I was so nervous for the first one I couldn’t eat my breakfast and almost not…
