Endast en kort båttur från Helsingfors också hamnar du på de vackra Vallisaari och Kuninkaansaari öarna. Förr i tiden så förvarades armens ammunition här, och några hundra personer tog hand om ön och det som förvarades här. Men ön har alltid spelat en viktig roll för den Finska, Svenska och Ryska marinen på grund av sitt läge. Och det var först 2016 som man fick åka hit och njuta av den vackra gröna ön. Hela ön är fylld av gamla byggnader och under 2021 ska Helsinki Biennale hållas här med musik, konst och en massa god och hållbar mat.
Jag uppskattar verkligen att man idag får besöka den här vackra ön som är fylld av ett spännande djurliv, vackra byggnader och en fantastisk natur! Här hittar man faktiskt mer än tusen olika sorters fjärilar, olika sorters fladdermöss och en massa andra djur. Eftersom man inte får gå över allt så kommer det rika djurlivet att bevaras. På ön hittar man även fik, restauranger och en bar.
Vallisaari och Kuninkaansaari ligger precis utanför Helsingfors, vid Suomenlinna sea fortress som förr kallades för Sveaborg. Det tar bara 20 minuter att ta sig hit med båt från centrum. Och från Vallisaari kan du promenera över till Kuninkaansaari på en stig i vattnet.

Tänk på att du inte får gå överallt på öarna, respektera det och det fantastiska djurlivet som finns här!
Fantastiska byggnader hittar man överallt på ön. Både bostadshus, ammunitionsutrymme, små fabriker mm.. 
Tänk dig detta utrymmet med olika konstverk! 
Glöm inte att ta med dig badkläder!
Vallisaari och Kuninkaansaari ligger vid Suomenlinna / Sveaborg. Endast 20 minuter med båt från Helsingfors. Från Vallisaari kan du promenera över till Kuninkaansaari på en liten stig i vattnet.

I serve this with some rice, but you can as well have it as a soup. This is a favourite in my family. 
I love having smoothies in the morning. Sometimes I just have a smoothie and sometimes I have a smoothie and a toast for breakfast. This morning I made a mango and apple smoothie and this is what I used.
Svinkløv Bath Hotel is runned by the Bocuse d’Or winner Kenneth Toft-Hansen and his wife Louise. It is located just by a stunningly beautiful Danish beach, and the hotel is finally rebuilt again after the fire in 2016 when it burnt down to the ground. I did not have the pleasure to visit before it burnt down. But apparently it looks exactly the same as before, you could never believe that this was just built. The materials they have used are solid, and it is wood everywhere. Painted in white and grey, and you get this feeling of calm when you enter Svinkløv.
This is a dish that is supposed to be done with pork, but most of the time I use chicken instead. The first time I did it with chicken was because they didn’t have any pork in my little shop in Shanghai when I lived there. Since then I must have cooked the dish at least a 100 times with chicken, so I suppose we are just used to it… This is one of my kids favourite dishes.
Perfect at the buffet, as a snack or as a main with some rice and vegetables. 
Doesn’t it look like a piece of art?
Prawns with a vegetable gel and and ripe tomato emulsion by Eneko Atxa. Nearly didn’t want to eat it, it looked magical!
Jordi Cruz prepared a Squid nigiri wrapped with cooked tuna skin!
This is how you make a really good cup of hot chocolate! 
Checked in to Grand Hyatt in Nusa Dua at Bali. Situated just by the beach in Nusa Dua, and opposite Bali Collection (an outdoor mall ) its location is just great.
We picked a spacious Club room with an extra corner bed where a kid or two can sleep. Breakfast is included and there is also food in the evening between 17-19 that is included in the Club area. As all hotels there is ups and downs. The big downer here is that you hear your neighbours here very well. And we woke up by the gardeners at 4 in the morning when they were rolling their big noisy carts. Not that fun. A change of room today will hopefully help. (It helped, choose a room at the top floor if you wanna sleep longer in the morning!)
The breakfast is great, it contains of a wide array of baked goods, soups, different kinds of eggs, fruit, cereal etc. And their latte is great, very important for me. The evening buffet has some Indonesian dishes that are really great, desserts, fruit and some other food. And drinks are included in the Club area too. 
There is a smaller pool area for the Club rooms that is nice and peaceful. And then there is a very big area with different pools, slides and other activities for everyone. By the Club pool you have the possibility to order lunch. I’ve had salad,pizza and wings. Totally ok. 
And by the big pool there is a restaurant that serve different kinds of food, ice cream etc. The hotel has some different restaurants if you wanna stay there and eat. There is Italian, Japanese and International restaurants to choose from. 
I would rate this as a 3-4 star hotel. A lot of things are great, but it’s not a 5. And they could be a bit more environmentally friendly. Take away small plastic bottles of shampoo etc they could have a big container at the wall in the shower instead, people could refill their water bottles for example. I would love if I could cook here to learn, as I emailed them and asked about that. But when I got here it was a no..
I made a lamb stew for our dinner guests. I served it with some plain rice, salad and baguette. 
A favourite place of mine when in Shanghai, this is were I buy most of my breakfast breads like Danish Ryebread, sometimes lunch and very often coffee and an almond chocolate croissant. 
This is so good, I recommend you to double the recipe! Or at least that is what I need to do.. My auntie always did this for Christmas Eve. If you wanna try it, here is the recipe for you. 
This place is situated at Djurgården, just by Rosendal Palace. I have been a frequent visitor since the day they opened and my mother dragged me here. 
There is many names for this mulled wine, spiced wine, Glühwein… The story about Glühwein goes back to the 15th century. And in Sweden we have proof that they drank glögg 1609. And in December it’s a must to drink some glögg. Glögg is the Swedish name for it. Here is one way to do it! 
I have been to Wagamama in several country’s and I think it is a great lunch place. 
This is a version of butterscotch that can be made in the microwave!
My friend Denise is a designer and held a little get together at the Ecuadorean Embassy in Stockholm the other day. 
For me baking soft gingerbread cake is Christmas. I love how it smells all over the house when I bake this cake, and I love licking up the leftovers after pouring up the batter. The recipe is super easy if you just have all the ingredients! Give it a go!! 
A cake with icing is much more fun to eat and look at. Here some versions of how to do icing. 
Yesterday they won the prestigious prize as Sweden’s Best Cocktail bar of the year. They also became the 37th best bar in the world this year! Not bad! I know that they have a great selection of beer and wine, but I only had cocktails here as I really like a good cocktail. So if you are in Stockholm, I would recommend this bar for one of your nights. They also serve South European and Middle Eastern inspired food. Preferably you have the food with some cocktails! Tjoget opened up in 2012, and is runned by the two childhood friends Joel Söderbäck and Andreas Bergman. Intresting fact, they have their own ice factory so that they will have the perfect ice!
