Almost two years ago I started this little project, called the Bread Exchange. It has been a really good times. Mainly because the project has connected me with such great people. The Bread Exchange network brings me often to the ones that are into the same things as myself; Traveling, Design, People and, of course, Food. They come from different … Read More
Childhood heroes II
For all you animal lovers out there. Before we leave the tierfilm thema, I will bring you one more movie from the guy that had 2 tigers in his backyard. Warning! This animal movie is not cute! I find this movie more scary today then when I was 5. “What I had not consider as being something risky then appeared … Read More
Trade: Quinces
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
Childhood heroes
When I was a kid I was crazy fascinated by this couple that raised 2 tigers on an island, Stenön, just outside Stockholm in 1983. We even went to look at them during one holiday. They were called Rani and Lillan. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkau8Kt5IJ4[/youtube] —————————— I did not get to touch them though.

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

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. The sales season is like a circus season where you travel from fashion week to fashion week January-March and June-October. It is a lot of traveling. … Read More
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
