Oh my,,,

I am so hooked. In paris I tried the best dessert/tea bread, ever. It is better then any scones. It was a bread with white chocolate. In Paris I had it with goat cheese. But it is good enough to go alone for dessert I think. I tried to make it at home today and it turned out just as … Read More

Ode to the good people 4

Some may think that people in the fashionbusiness is trying to escape from food as often as they can. This is a myth. I have never met so many people that share my love for food as in this industry. It is as if all the time we spend on surfaces we need to make up for through thinking about … Read More

Ode to the good people 3

Sundays and Thursdays are market days at Bastille, Paris. It is my favorite food market. I got my hands on some great goat Tomme and fresh walnuts. I also make sure to try something new every time. For me, fresh dates was the new shit. I never had them raw before and I know some of the bloggers out there … Read More

Ode to the good people 2

Today has been a lot of running around on meetings. First I had breakfast at Cafe Charlot. I never know if I am at Schillers in NYC or in Paris. It is all the same, the menue as well as the interior. I like it all, except for the handles in the bathroomdoor. I met with Francine Grunewald, from who … Read More

Ode to the good friends

Working in a, sometimes very, superficial business like the fashion business, you need to have good stable people around you. When you found them this is the best job in the world I think.

Learning from the master 2

One year ago I went to the north of Sweden to learn how to bake. Or, I had been hard core practicing for about 2 years before so it was more about testing if I am really doing it right. I went to the Woods of Wermland, to Lars Gustafssons bakery, and learned from the number one Organic sourdough baker … Read More

my Catch

The Fleemarket in Paris is huge. I have never been able to manage to go since fashionweek means work 24-7. This time I took the time. And it was worth it. I must say the market was more inspirational then a place where I would buy something. The traders know what they can take for they goods and most of … Read More

after 9 hours at the market

It is really tiring to bargain in a language that you can’t understand at all. So I was craving for meat and chanterelle. And I love how the French serve their beef with Dijon mustard. It felt like I had half a jar of it.

Best snack before the fleemarket

Pimping my SoyYogi with some cactus fruit, strawberries and fresh dates. So good. This will keep me going a bit longer. Clayton and I are going to the Parisian Fleemarket number one to get inspired. This is an important task. I need a lot of energy.

Aux Deux Amis

This is what French people look like when they discuss what wine is the most suitable for the occasion. I was wishing for full body and low on tannins. I love how serious they took my wish. We ended up drinking an a wine from Loire. We had dinner at my, at the moment, fav. Parisienne wine bar: Aux Deux … Read More
