Breakfast at Svedjan, located in Zinkensdamm, Stockholm. Alfred Hellström who runs the artisan bakery @svedjanbagerisoder is a true talent and everything they do stands for high quality in its simplicity. The cheese and milk come from their family run farm in northern Sweden, outside Skellefteå (check out @svedjanost). If you haven’t been yet, make sure to drop by soon. Just had one Semla myself and it was superb 👏🏼

A while ago, up in the western Swiss alps, I visit

A while ago, up in the western Swiss alps, I visited Jacques and his son Alexander. They produce Gruyère d’Alpage AOP which is a cheese made with raw summer milk from cows that forage in the mountains. Everything is hand-made in a small buron and the milk is heated over open fire. All of these factors come together to produce a cheese with a deeper and really funky style. Maybe the fresh Alp air has something to it as well... Get a few different styles and varieties for your cheese platter and remember to support your local cheese shop instead of the big grocery stores. Price difference is minimal and the selection and vibe are incomparable 👌🏼

I hope you’ll enjoy 2022 to the fullest, being healthy and travel to places you’ve always dreamed about. Discovering new food cultures, visit local producers, support restaurants that actually care about what they serve and how they treat their employees. Keep learning where the things you buy are from and how they are produced.

Head Chef @stefanekengren at @restauranghantverket in Stockholm. If you are eager to master some of the traditional Swedish Christmas delicacies, you need to make sure to get his book ”Högtider”. This modern classic has loads of helpful and nifty tips & tricks when it comes to fine tuning our beloved Christmas recipes.

Weekend breakfast with fresh pressed coffee and so

Weekend breakfast with fresh pressed coffee and some delicious sandwiches together with @lapavoninordic and @lavazzasverige - make sure to check out the recipe for my delicious stracchiatella toast on the last slide.

During the last couple of months I’ve learned a lot about coffee beans, roasting and the craftsmanship behind grinding and using the La Pavoni espresso machine. Many small details to perfect but spending that little bit of extra time in to my coffee is just joyful when the result is this excellent 👍🏼

The machine I use is a La Pavoni Esperto Abile and the coffee grinder La Pavoni Jolly Dosato with the medium roast Lavazza ¡Tierra! ☕️

Gruyère AOP Babka with pistachios, labneh and fresh herbs. A delicious and cheesy brioche like bread that I love to make on the weekends. Babka is a traditional East European jewish pastry often filled with chocolate or cinnamon. In this savory version I use less sugar and add some freshness by topping it with labneh, pistachios, dill and mint. Recipe in the comments (Swedish) 🧀 🇨🇭🏔

Malmö based chef Jennie Walldén that I’ve had

Malmö based chef Jennie Walldén that I’ve had the pleasure to work with for some time, just released a Mosel Riesling together with wine maker Markus Molitor. A white wine from the steep German hills next to the Mosel river. With some beautiful acidity and fruitiness it’s made to pair extra well with spicy and umami rich east asian flavours. So today we got to try it with a variety of pork baos, oysters, tempura mushrooms and 5 spice udons during a delicious press lunch at @restaurang_agnes. The wine is called “Universal Riesling” and priced at 149 SEK, available at systembolaget.se 👏🏼

The eccentric composer and pianist Erik Satie only ate all-white foods according to his memoirs. This lemon sole with baked celeriac, white onion butter confit, apple and a white wine foam is @woodstockholm’s interpretation of exactly just that. Available on their current delicious music themed menu. Located at Mosebacke torg in Stockholm 👍🏼

Gruyère AOP burger with a crisp lightly pickled f

Gruyère AOP burger with a crisp lightly pickled fennel salad and mayonnaise with chives. A super delicious burger where the acidity from the salad complement the incredible cheese. Just the way I like it. Remember to fry your burger on high temperature and add lots of grounded black pepper and sea salt. I like to use a cast iron pan for frying. Recipe below (in Swedish).

Ingredienser
4 personer

4 st Brioche-hamburgerbröd
700 g grovmalen högrevsfärs
150g Gruyère AOP Réserve
2 tsk Svartpeppar - grovmalen
2 tsk salt

Fänkålssallad
1 liten fänkål
1 gurka
1 silverlök
5 msk äppelcidervinäger
5 msk vatten

Topping
2 dl Majonäs
1 msk Dijonsenap
1 st Hjärtsallad huvud
2 dl Gräslök finhackad

Instruktioner:
Mandolina fänkål, gurka och silverlök tunt. Blanda med äppelcidervinäger och vatten. Låt dra en timma.

Hacka gräslöken fint, tvätta salladsbladen och hyvla osten.

Forma runda burgare så att de håller ihop men pressa inte för mycket, då blir de för kompakta. Salta och peppra på båda sidor.

Ta en stekpanna (gärna gjutjärn) och sätt på hög värme. Det ska fräsa ordentligt när du lägger i köttet. Du behöver inget stekfett då köttet kommer ge ifrån sig mycket av sitt fett. Stek i några minuter tills köttet fått fin färg och vänd sedan. Lägg på osten. En halv minut innan burgarna är klara kan du lägga på ett lock så smälter osten lite extra.
Lägg burgarna på ett metallgaller och låt vila några minuter.

Stek bröden gyllene i en separat stekpanna. Mitt tips är att bre på ett tunt lager majonnäs på hamburgarbröden så blir de extra goda och krispiga.

Montera burgaren genom att ta en liten klick majonäs och dijonsenap på understa lagret. Lägg sen på sallad och hamburgaren. Krama ut fänkålssalladen och lägg på. Ta en stor klick majonäs på locket och strö över rikligt med gräslök och placera på toppen.

Ät och njut!

Outdoor cooking in the Stockholm archipelago toget

Outdoor cooking in the Stockholm archipelago together with the Irish whiskey @bushmillsirl - We went out an early cold morning with guide Stefan Vestberg, fishing perches using the traditional jig method. We were lucky and managed to catch quite a lot in the morning sun. Then we gutted them on the shore and grilled them over open fire and smoked them with wet juniper. Served with fried potatoes, chanterelles, Bushmills flavored mayonnaise, dill and lemon. Thank you for a lovely day @bushmillsirl & @stefanvestbergfiskeguide

Have you been to the beautiful bistro and two star

Have you been to the beautiful bistro and two starred restaurant Oaxen yet? Located at the scenic peninsula Djurgården, just a 15 min tram ride from downtown Stockholm you will find phenomenal food and wine.

At @oaxenkrog and @oaxenslip they pick and gather much of their produce them selves and the restaurant source the most of its produce locally. I can highly recommend a visit 🍸

On the beautiful hills outside of Spoleto in Umbri

On the beautiful hills outside of Spoleto in Umbria - the family Mattioli has been producing wine for three generations. I met up with the family for a lovely lunch and the oldest daughter, Annalisa @annalisa_collecapretta, showed me and @ellarenneus around the winery.

All the wines are made in much the of the same fashion as previous generations: natural fermentation that takes place in open top containers without temperature control or sulfur additions using local traditional grape varieties such as Trebbiano spolentino and Sangiovese.

At their 8 ha farm they also have olive trees, ancient varieties of grains and are raising some cows and pigs. The whole family works together with everything from curing the most beautiful prosciutto I’ve ever eaten to pruning the vines.

Since the winery is fairly small they only produce about 8000 bottles a year, so keep your eyes open when they release each vintage 👍🏼 In Sweden you can find them through @vinnatur - so make sure to follow them 😊 In short, beautiful and honest wines made with so much care and passion that tastes phenomenal. So humble and happy to once in a while meet people like Annalisa, her dad Vittorio and mother Anna 🌿

Straight out of the oven at Bageri Leve in Malmö.

Straight out of the oven at Bageri Leve in Malmö. The talented founders at @bagerileve Didrik Persson and Martin Westin have created a beautiful place for artisan baked goods ranging from sourdough bread to their beloved doughnuts. Most of their products are surprisingly vegan made with hiqh quality substitutes.
Pay this parisian shop a visit when in Malmö and make sure to drop by @lanthandeln_malmo next door. Located at Östra Rönneholmsvägen also know as ”Gourmetboulevarden”. .
