Tepache – a bubbling pineapple drink made from the peel!
For New Year’s Eve, I made a dessert with caramelized pineapple and homemade ice cream and was thinking if you could do something with the peel. After spending some time on Google, I found Tepache, a Mexican bubbly pineapple drink made on the shell. So exciting that I immediately went to work! Do you also want to try? Cool! read more...

Simple by Ottolenghi and mashed potatoes with herb oil
A few months ago, the latest book written by one of my absolute favorite chefs – Yotam Ottolenghi, was published. Today it’s time for me to review the book Simple and of course make something really tasty (and simple) from the book! Ottolenghi quickly became a kind of icon for vegetarian food from the Middle East. 7 cookbooks further and at least half of the world now keeps rose water, pomegranate and the typical spice mix Zaataar in the cabins. Or should I say, at least Holland and the rest of Europe. In Sweden, I feel a rather new interest for food with Moroccan, Israelian and Turkish origin. I’m still surprised how much this kind of food seems to be up here in the Nordic countries. But maybe I’m wrong, hope so. And if not, I have NOW the chance to help them on the way! The book Simple is really simple. Simple in it’s layout, recipe selection and ingredients (if you disregard some of the wonderful specialties😉 typical for the region ).This must be a … read more...

A few weeks ago we needed a smaller sponge cake for a dessert we served in the restaurant and I made up this recipe.
