Yesterday I had the pleasure of looking and cheering at the team during the hot kitchen part of the competition. I went there with Cederroth Firsth Aid Sweden. And we were a big group of supporters. No other team had as many. I hope it helped them;) At least they reached gold level yesterday!!

Mariestads big bang dinner
Their master brewer Richard Bengtsson has the last years been travelling around with some of Sweden’s best chefs. During his trips he’s been taking inspiration for different beers. And from each trip they have released two different beers. 
Moderna museets restaurang
Yesterday I was invited with some others to cook with Malin Söderström, the head chef at The Modern Museum in Stockholm. We got to make the same salad that will be served at Sthlm Food & Wine the 9 – 11 th of November. There will be a Chef’s Restaurant with different famous Swedish chefs cooking. So there will be some pretty amazing food during the fair! 
Trying out some Sandeman port wine
I went for a lunch at Gondolen in Stockholm to try out some porto from Sandeman. And it was so interesting to have it matched with food. And their white port paired perfectly with the starters. 
Restaurant Selma
I meet Magnus Pettersson’s mother Monica in Stockholm the other week, and promised her to try and visit Magnus restaurant Selma in Copenhagen. The restaurant is recommended by Bib Gourmand / Michelin!

At Hernö Gin

Up North in Sweden there is this Brewery making gin that just get’s all these prizes all the time! I went there with a nice group of people to try out their gin and see their factory.
Swedish food!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of having Anders Isaksson cooking for me and some others. And as the talented chef he is, he came up with a bunch of good recipes to be paired with O.P. Anderson. 
Champagne Palmer
Tried out the fab champagne Palmer Blanc de Noirs yesterday with food. I wonder why people aren’t drinking champagne when they have a nice meal. I have always liked it, and with the food we were served yesterday it worked our perfectly!

Food Tours Stockholm
Yesterday I went on a Food Tour in Vasastan. And as I am not so familiar with Vasastan, that is a perfect way to learn. 
We started off with trying out the taste of wine in different kinds of glass. Oh man, what a difference it is!!
Press day at Pretto

Is there anyone that wouldn’t want a cupboard like this? So many favourites in there!! Drooling!!
Last night
It was my turn to host the book club, so I had stock up on wine and cheese.
This is my favourite wine out of a box! It’s really good with some cheese, or a stew!
David Lundqvist
He won the Chef of the Year Award a few weeks ago. And as he works at the beautiful Grand Hotel in Saltsjö Baden outside Stockholm, they are now serving his winning menue until the end of December!

Prosecco time
Well I can always have some prosecco. And yesterday we had some Zonin just before dinner. I actually continued drinking it with the fish soup;)
I’m a bubbly kind of girl😋🍾 
Swedish Pastry Chef of the year
Yesterday Disa Molin won the Swedish Pastry Chef of the year in Stockholm!! It was two very exciting days before they finally decided who would win. 
Mat and Destillat
One of the best restaurants in Lund. It is situated where there used to be a famous bakery, so it is nice that you still can eat there.
A classic restaurant with a French vibe with very stabile good food. The pike perch I had was perfect with the smoked sauce hollandaise and it’s grilled lettuce.

Jazz au vin
Danyel Couet has a new concept every Thursday at his Bar Etable. Once a week they will have a live jazz band, serve wine from the big wine bottle and some food.
Relaxed, cosy and a very nice decadent feeling. bottles age more gracefully and just plain better, according to some experts, because they age at a slower pace
Birthday
So it was my birthday yesterday. And when my husband asked what I wanted to eat, then I told him that I wanted some of the nice ham and cheese that I brought home from Logrono in Spain. So we just added some shrimps, avocado and some other things. And had a very simple but nice meal. 
Sometimes easy is the best!
Penny and Bill
This bar/restaurant is situated at Östermalm in Stockholm. The place is dark and cozy, and very inviting!
The gang working there is very service minded. I haven’t eaten there, but if the food is as good as their fabulous drinks. Then it’s great;)
