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)
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
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
Dinner at Mosebacke Etablissement (Södra Teaterns Restaurang) in Stockholm
I recently visited Mosebacke Etablissement, the restaurant of entertainment venue Södra Teatern, situated at Mosebacke Torg on (or more like on top of) Södermalm in Stockholm. The restaurant has a new menu that I was invited to try (eg. the meal was paid for by the restaurant). The menu has a focus on ‘aware’ comfort… Continue reading Dinner at Mosebacke Etablissement (Södra Teaterns Restaurang) in Stockholm
Wapa Tapa restaurant
Our last night at the Palm Oasis Maspalomas, and on the south side of the island for that matter, we decided to head for the Wapa Tapa restaurant that had got some great reviews. Wapa Tapa is located in the touristy Yumbo shopping center, and was a little bit tricky to find among the other… Continue reading Wapa Tapa restaurant
Canary Islands part two: Palm Oasis Maspalomas Hotel
After our first two days in Playa del Inglés, we managed to make a last minute booking for the Palm Oasis Maspalomas. Their cheaper studio apartments were sold out, but instead we secured a 70 sqm apartment for about €120 a night, which I found very affordable given the hotel’s ratings, the apartment’s size and… Continue reading Canary Islands part two: Palm Oasis Maspalomas Hotel
Swedish Christmas
Just got back home a couple of kilos heavier after three days of Christmas celebrations with family. Swedish Christmas is mainly celebrated on ‘Julafton’, which is Christmas Eve the 24th of December. The day is usually started with some kind of Christmas breakfast. Then many people watch the 3 pm Disney’s Christmas or “Kalle” (from… Continue reading Swedish Christmas
