I never had Quince jelly before this October. Ever. I have never heard of Quinces other then in Bionade. I never ever heard that Quices exist in Sweden. But now I know them. Very well. Ones upon a time Quinces were very trendy. But the last (at least) 80 years they have been pretty out. So the Quinces normally grow … Read More
Moonraker Sourdough
This is what it looks like when my bread making get out of hands and I let the color mind spin freely. But actually, it was one of my readers from Antwerp that brought me on this one. She suggested a bread with a Moonraker palette. And I knew I had it somewhere. Some may promise you the moon, but … Read More
This is the palette of my Walnut sourdough
Did you know that the walnuts color the dough purple if you add it early enough? I love it. You can trade it with me on tomorrow if you like.
Pomegranate is in the house
2 years ago I booked a 3,5 day trip on my own to Turkey in end October. Official reason was “I need to get out of Berlin to get some last ray of sunlight”. My hidden Agenda was “I need to get a hold of the best Pomegranate out there. And I want to get them peeled. I can’t stand … Read More

I went to the Woods of Wermland, to Lars Gustafssons bakery, and learned from the number one Organic sourdough baker … 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
Spread your tomatoes
I always forget that mashed fresh tomatoes can be the only thing a good bread need. I seem to have to visit Spain to remember how good it tastes. But you still need good bread. And good tomatoes of course.
