Last year I visited Thailand, and for the first time I tried the dish larb, something I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. Larb is a salad common in Northern Thailand as well as in Laos. It contains ground toasted rice and herbs and can be made with several proteins. Some use raw beef, some use… Continue reading Larb gai recipe
Creamed mushroom soup with fried chanterelles
August is here, meaning autumn in Sweden is approaching. Fortunately, being in the final month of summer isn’t all sad, as we are able to sample autumn delicacies such as chanterelles. Today we had this delicious little mushroom in a soup and on a sandwich. The soup is actually a mushroom soup topped with fried… Continue reading Creamed mushroom soup with fried chanterelles
Sunday breakfast: ‘smashed avo’, feta and chorizo on grilled sourdough
One of my favourite breakfast dishes is the, at the moment (and for some time) quite trendy, ‘smashed avo’ sandwich. In this weekend’s version I used fried chorizo “crumble” to add some fatty, spicy and meaty crunch to the dish. What you need (for 2 persons) 1 fresh chorizo (remove the casings) 2 eggs about… Continue reading Sunday breakfast: ‘smashed avo’, feta and chorizo on grilled sourdough
Weekend eating
Had a very nice weekend, especially eating wise, last week. Thought I’d share some pics from it. Slow cooked Sunday Bolognese, probably my all time favourite dish. Made extra tasty with spaghetti from Italian company Martelli (found at Urban Deli if you’re in Sweden). I had a slice of Nutella and strawberry pizza when we… Continue reading Weekend eating
Spaghetti cacio e pepe
Related to my last post, I decided it was time to have a proper cacio e pepe the other day. Cacio e pepe is probably one of the easiest to make dishes while still really delicious. Since I am kind of lazy but still need delicious food, it’s a perfect dish for me. You need… Continue reading Spaghetti cacio e pepe

Below is how to do this cheesy, peppery and smooth risotto cacio e pepe. Ingredients Arborio rice or other prefered “risotto rice” One onion Garlic Chicken stock (or vegetable)… Continue reading Risotto cacio e pepe
A Swedish Midsummer
A good Swedish Midsummer is, in my mind, among the best things of the year. Usually it rains, and usually it’s a last minute option. But occassionally, there is this invite to one of your friend’s country houses for a proper traditional Swedish Midsummer bash with Midsummer’s pole, boozy herring lunch, childish games and partying… Continue reading A Swedish Midsummer
Eating in Monaco
Got back from our trip to Monaco last week, and though I’d share what we had, and what you too could eat in Monaco. Although we only visited for four days, we did a fair bit of eating. Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à l’Hôtel de Paris One of the “must dos” in Monaco… Continue reading Eating in Monaco
Time to travel to… Monaco
I have the somewhat odd but also quite fun hobby to try to visit all the countries in the world. Now it’s time for number 73, namely: Monaco! Haven’t managed to get further than the Lufthansa Business Lounge in Frankfurt yet, but I’m working on it! Looking forward to four days of nice views, lots… Continue reading Time to travel to… Monaco
Birthday weekend
Turned one year older last weekend, and chose, maybe not that surprisingly, to celebrate with a decent amount of food and drink. Below are a few pics from the birthday dinner. Wine! The spectacularly tasty Charles “Champagne Charlie” Heidsieck, Juris (Austrian red) and a Brunello di Montalcino. Good stuff! Steak tartare on grilled sourdough with dijon… Continue reading Birthday weekend
