During my early days of eating (eg. when I was a kid in one of Stockholm’s Northern suburbs) I did not really like the semla. The semla (one semla, several semlor) is a Swedish pastry, consisting of a soft, sweet pillowy bun that is filled with (hopefully) fresh whipped cream and almond paste. When I… Continue reading Stockholm’s best semla?

Sunday waffle fika at Älskade Traditioner
Just got back to the Sunday couch after a sugar-rushy fika at retroish café Älskade Traditioner on Södermalm in Stockholm. Älskade traditioner translates to “beloved traditions” in Swedish, and serves for instance savoury as well as sweet waffles, cakes, semlor, Swedish classics such as meatballs, Bullens pilsnerkorv (sausages) and herring. The place is located on… Continue reading Sunday waffle fika at Älskade Traditioner
Dough – how to make the perfect homemade pizza
Pizza. One of my, and many others’ favourite dishes. I am probably never as happy as when a pizza meal is approaching. A couple of years back we decided that we wanted to be able to make as good pizzas as from pizzerias or pizza restaurants. We started with the tomato sauce, and then the… Continue reading Dough – how to make the perfect homemade pizza
Homemade panang gai recipe (Thai red curry chicken)
A weekday favourite of mine is this version of a spicy delicious Thai panang curry. When we’ve been to Thailand, this is usually my number one choice for dinner, and after several attempts, I’ve finally succeded in making a somewhat authentic-tasting version. What you need (approximately for four persons) 500 grams of chicken thighs About… Continue reading Homemade panang gai recipe (Thai red curry chicken)
Dinner at Bistrot Paul Bert in Paris
When I started researching after booking our Paris tickets, I thought of what I really wanted to eat while there. The first thing that came to mind was steak frites. From my early years, we often had steak with béarnaise sauce and some kind of potato sidedish for weekend dinners cooked by my mum. I… Continue reading Dinner at Bistrot Paul Bert in Paris
Chez Minnà Corsican restaurant in Paris
Since we were arriving Paris quite late, in fact we both worked until Friday afternoon and then took the Arlanda Express airport train before boarding a SAS flight for Paris, we opted for dinner at a restaurant close to our hotel. Fortunately most of the restaurants around our hotel, Hotel L’Echiquier Opéra Paris MGallery by… Continue reading Chez Minnà Corsican restaurant in Paris
Bonjour, Paris!
Last weekend we visited a place I should’ve visited a long time ago. By some reason, the closest I’ve been to the City of Lights is seeing the Eiffel Tower from a plane, when transiting at Charles De Gaulle airport. But now it was time, at last, for Paris! Since we’re as usual saving up… Continue reading Bonjour, Paris!
Lillördag at Burger and lobster Stockholm
One of the best lillördag aka Tiny Saturday (which is in fact Wednesday) activities in Stockholm in my mind is to combine restaurant Pocket by Pontus’ champagne Wednesday with lobster dinner at adjoining (you can actually walk between them indoors) Burger and Lobster Stockholm. On Wednesdays Pocket by Pontus lower their price for a full… Continue reading Lillördag at Burger and lobster Stockholm
Weekend eating
This weekend has been a really lazy one. And a lot about eating, of course. On Friday I had a favourite of mine, a double homemade cheeseburger with Reypenaer cheese. It was pretty similar to my best ever burger I made last year, but this time with burger dressing (click here for recipe) instead of… Continue reading Weekend eating
