Visited the amazingly pretty Greek island of Santorini a couple of weeks ago. While I’ve had plenty of Greek food in Sweden, there’s nothing like having a proper Greek salad with sun-ripe tomatoes, a juicy grilled souvlaki or a fluffy delicious gyros pita while soaking up the views of the deep blue Med, white chalk… Continue reading 7 really nice restaurants to eat at while in Santorini (and one GREAT bar)

Quick to make Italian style prawn spaghetti
After the thrilling Sweden-Switzerland game during the FIFA world cup in Russia, we needed some carbs to soak up the beer we’d had while watching. This is probably a more American-Italian style spaghetti then genuinly Italian. It’s a bit resembling to an “angry” arrabiata sauce though, but without oregano. I also had some parmesan cheese… Continue reading Quick to make Italian style prawn spaghetti
Easy peasy lobster roll recipe
It might be the tastiest food there is; succulent lobster meat, toasted brioche, mayo, a sprinkle of chives. Maybe a couple of crunchy chips. Maybe a glass of pink champagne too? Well the best part is that while it’s not inexpensive, it is not that much of an effort to throw together if you use… Continue reading Easy peasy lobster roll recipe
Three days in Baku (with lots of food)
Since I learned about the new Azeri “Asan Visa”, an e-visa, replacing the former tedious process of applying for a visa at an Azerbaijani embassy, I’ve been really keen to go. Who can’t remember the promotions for the country during the 2012 Eurovision in Baku (Yay, Sweden won!); Azerbaijan – Land of Fire; Azerbaijan –… Continue reading Three days in Baku (with lots of food)

Since I couldn’t, I snapped a few pics of the menus on my cruise… Continue reading Royal Caribbean’s Chops Grille wine list

What to do during seven days in The Gambia
During our eight days in “the smiling coast”, we actually managed to do quite a lot, despite spending a considerable amount of time on the beach, poolside and lazying around with a cool Julbrew in our hand. Beaches Maybe not a proper activity per se – or actually, I guess it can be counted. The… Continue reading What to do during seven days in The Gambia

What to eat and must try food in The Gambia
Just got back to minus 10 degress Celsius after a week in the tiny but amazingly nice West African nation of The Gambia.
