Since I have the fun, but also challenging, ambition of visiting all the countries in the world, naturally I had to visit the small mountain country of San Marino during my eating-frenzy in Bologna recently. To get to San Marino from Bologna, I could not really find any simpler alternative (apart from driving yourself) than… Continue reading A day trip from Bologna via Rimini to San Marino with Trenitalia and Bonneli bus

Swedish Midsummer eating
One of my favourite celebrations in Sweden is midsommar, or Midsummer. The day is usually started with a boozy traditional sillunch, meaning herring lunch (the picture above), which then continue with dance around the Midsummer pole (yes, we’re heathens) and then usually a bbq of some sort. Usually strawberry cake is inserted somewhere along the… Continue reading Swedish Midsummer eating
5 days of food and adventures in amazing Georgia
Just got back from a five day trip to the amazing little country of Georgia (not the U.S. state) nestled between Russia and Turkey in the Caucasus. I’ve been wanting to go to Georgia for quite some time. The reasons for it being the scenic countryside, Tbilisi as a city, rumours of friendly people, and… Continue reading 5 days of food and adventures in amazing Georgia
SAS plus domestic flight review
Flew SAS domestic the other day, and thought I should give some info since it’s not very much available in English about what is included. The trip I took was from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Malmö, Sweden’s third largest city, in the South. When flying SAS plus, which basically is their intra-Europe premium economy, or… Continue reading SAS plus domestic flight review

Homemade crispy fried sweet potato fries
After years of testing, I last night, finally, managed to get my sweet potato fries crispy. I have my own deep-fryer at home and managed to get “restaurant quality” fries many years ago, but I haven’t mastered sweet potatos fries, until now. You will need: 1 large sweet potato or 4-5 smaller ones Corn starch,… Continue reading Homemade crispy fried sweet potato fries
Egg, ham and cheese breakfast brioche sandwich recipe
Last Saturday I woke up with a slight headache after a night of Korean food and too much Riesling and beer. As it happened, I had cheddar cheese, prosciutto ham, eggs and brioche rolls – and no urge to go to the store for groceries. The idea then came to me to make something a… Continue reading Egg, ham and cheese breakfast brioche sandwich recipe
Lunch at Bobergs Matsal in Stockholm
Visited Bobergs Matsal in NK (Nordiska Kompaniet) department store the other day for some fine-dining lunch.

Bobergs Matsal is a quite classic fine-dining experience, but… Continue reading Lunch at Bobergs Matsal in Stockholm

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
