One of my favourite pasta dishes (okay I admit that most pasta related dishes are my favourites) is the simple yet delicious Roman dish’cacio e pepe’. Cacio e pepe means cheese and pepper, and that is pretty much the dish, with the addition of spaghetti and a splash of cooking liquid. Despite being a quite… Continue reading Recipe for perfect spaghetti cacio e pepe
What and where we ate in Santa Maria on Cape Verde’s Sal Island
The country of Cabo Verde, or Cape Verde in English is a small group of islands (10 that counts), situated approximately 450 kilometers from mainland Africa. The country gained independence from Portugal in 1975, and hence you’ll find a few Portugese influences in the local food.

The other day I went to have dinner at one of my favourite restaurants in Stockholm; Urban Deli. There, I found that they sold fresh Gotlandic autumn truffles.

Chips with dip 2.0
I’ve heard about versions of this chip and dip ‘dish’ throughout the years, but haven’t got myself to try it until recently. The flavours of this decadent little nibble are very Swedish – it’s sort of like a small condensed version of Midsummer.

As per usual, food was eaten. Above is a very tasty pork roast that we slow-roasted for almost three hours and served with… Continue reading Autumn weekend in the archipelago
Bratislava, Slovak wine country and Vienna
Bratislava’s beautiful Old Town, close to the decently good and well located Crowne Plaza Bratislava where I stayed. Last weekend I visited the Slovak capital of Bratislava. I’ve been wanting to visit the city for quite a while, and finally it was time. The easiest way to get there, at least from Stockholm, is to… Continue reading Bratislava, Slovak wine country and Vienna
Crayfish season
Above: non-traditional crayfish party spread with the addition of moules frites and garlic bread. August in Sweden means (hopefully) dark but warm summer evenings, usually the first chanterelles (at least for me), and first and foremost: kräftor, meaning crayfish. The crayfish season is mainly in August with a couple of jumpstarters in July and then… Continue reading Crayfish season
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
