The beautiful images are drawn by Ernst Haeckel. My friend, the Swedish artist Cecilia Ömalm, also takes fuel from Haeckels prints. In 2009 she made an art piece, “Astrophyton Darwinium” on the ceiling of the over 100 year old bar Riche, all inspired by an Ernst Haeckel drawing from 1904. Watch the Cool Hunting video about how she got her inspiration. ——————————- On Saturday I … Read More
Bread Exchange for Mother’s day
About half a year ago a lady wrote to me asking to trade a bread. She offered me to make a wish from Amsterdam. She was going there with her boyfriend and offered to pick something out for me. I made some thinking and decided to go for the cliche wish; tulips. Or rather Tulib bulbs. Now, I live in … Read More

Need some help in Sweden!
The last month we translated my Bread Exchange book into Swedish. Most recipes translated easy into swedish, especially since the Swedish food stores today are way broader sorted than 10 years ago.

The Nürnberg sky 453 years ago
“453 years ago on the day, one of my favorite woodcut engravings was published. Made by the letter-painter of Nuremberg, Hans Glaser, it was an attempt to depict the celestial phenomenon that had filled the Nuremberg sky, one morning at dawn in 1561. It became a mass sighting, and was described by the town residents as an aerial battle, with … Read More
