This weekend is Walpurgis weekend in Sweden, and it’s also a weekend when most people have their ”grill premiere” after a long Winter. As I live in a small apartment, I have no grill, but was still craving something grilled for dinner. I’ve seen Oklahoma style smash burgers being made across the internet for years,… Continue reading Oklahoma smash burger recipe

Stockholm-Scotland by train: Hamburg to Amsterdam [part 3]
As we lived super close to Hamburg’s central railway station, we checked out around 30 minutes before our departure and took the quick walk there to find our first train of the day. Unfortunately there aren’t any direct trains from Hamburg to Amsterdam, so our first trip of the day was with the sleek German… Continue reading Stockholm-Scotland by train: Hamburg to Amsterdam [part 3]
Two good restaurants and a bar in Costa Adeje, Tenerife
During our visit to Tenerife and Costa Adeje, we visited a few nice restaurants outside of Guayarmina Princess where we stayed on a halfboard package. Despite that the food there was really good, we wanted to sample some really local food as well. Picamar tapas Bistro Picamar is a small restaurant located up a few… Continue reading Two good restaurants and a bar in Costa Adeje, Tenerife
Great salsiccia pasta recipe
A few years ago, I made this salsiccia pasta for the first time, and since then we’ve had to have it at least every few months because it is so delicious – and – easy to make. What you need for approximately four persons: 600 grams of salsiccia sausages 500 grams of good quality tomatoes… Continue reading Great salsiccia pasta recipe
Homemade pesto recipe

What you need (four approximately 3-4 persons) Basil, about 5 deciliters of fresh leaves 2 Tablespoons of pine nuts 1… Continue reading Homemade pesto recipe
Part 6: Luang Prabang
We arrived Luang Prabang and Laos by a comfortable direct 1.5 hour flight from Siem Reap in a Vietnamese Airlines airbus A320 (I do not love to fly in propellered planes that otherwise are common on domestic routes in the region). A top tip is to buy a local sim with a data package in… Continue reading Part 6: Luang Prabang

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)
