This weekend I decided to take it easy and re-load the batteries after the Swedish release. And, as usual, there is just no better place to relax then in Fischbachau. Me and my boyfriend Alex went to stay with Amely and Christine. We took a short turn to October Fest in Munich, but I had a cold so I took it … Read More

BOOK CONTRIBUTOR – SASHA GORA, MUNICH
SASHA GORA, MUNICH Sasha has been playing many roles in the making of The Bread Exchange book. I met Sasha in Münich for the first time in 2011 when I was having a showroom for Levi’s Vintage.

BOOK CONTRIBUTOR – JOHN BENJAMIN SAVARY, BERLIN
JOHN BENJAMIN (BENNY) SAVARY, BERLIN I bumped into Benny on midsummer 2010. And his first comment to me was “Oh you are the Lady making the best bread I ever ate” and “I told my friend that I’m gonna marry this girl”. Benny probably had no clue it was midsummer that day – and that saying such a strong phrase to a Swedish … Read More

“Happiness in a Jar”
One of the prettiest sounding trades I ever got was by a the little boy Noah, 5 years old. He traded what he calls “Happiness in a Jar”; pickeled cucumber. I totally know what he means with that. Personally I am addicted to sour polish cucumbers. In the Bread Exchange book there is a whole chapter dedicated to sour polish soups. I … Read More
Behind the book scenes
I think I have mentioned it before, but I never really had the idea to write a book about the Bread Exchange. I did enjoy writing on my blog, and I loved collecting stories through my project, but that was it. When the US publisher Chronicle books approached me in 2012 I was a bit reluctant. I knew their books, … Read More
BOOK CONTRIBUTOR – KHEIRA LINDER, STOCKHOLM
KHEIRA LINDER, SWEDEN I found Kheiras drawings on record covers of music that I liked on, hm, MySpace. It must have been 2006 and I was in Sweden to write my master thesis and tracks from Lars Kranholdt, or “This mess is mine”, was running warm on repeat. I wrote to her, she was German living in Berlin, and we ended up meeting. By now … Read More
BOOK CONTRIBUTOR – NICOLE SALAZAR, NEW YORK
BOOK CONTRIBUTOR – NICOLE SALAZAR, NEW YORK Nicole reached out to me to trade a bread when she was visiting Berlin on her holiday 3 years ago. My strongest memory after that first meeting with Nicole was probably all her questions on how I get the sourdough into different countries. When I later in our meeting realized that Nicole was … Read More

This years tip for a secret hide away: Monte West Coast, Portugal Do you remember 1,5 years ago when I visited a place on crete that topped most places I ever visited?
