The beautiful Swedish west coast
Back in a hot and sunny London after a fantastic holiday in Sweden. One week full of great times with family and friends, and of course lots of food. Swedish cheeses, sausages, my dad's BBQ pork, crayfish, filmjölk (soured milk, you eat like yoghurt for breakfast), cinnamon and cardamon buns, salty licorice, my mum's citrus aioli, chantarelles, raspberries, fermented herring, licorice ice cream....
I know, it sounds like I did nothing but eat, but in between all meals I also managed to visit the west coast with both my Swedish and Danish family, my home town Uppsala, and Stockholm, and see lots of my friends and their kids, including the newest addition, the tiny 5 day old son of two of my best and oldest friends. Not bad for one week ;)
Here's a couple of pictures from my holiday
Grundsund on the west coast
Reimersholme in Stockholm, where I had ice coffee and cardamon buns with Sofia by the water just outside her flat
Beef cheeks with truffle potato mash at Rolf's kitchen in Stockholm with Sigrid. Read her blog (Swedish only) here
My parents place outside Uppsala
Toast with chantarelles - possibly the best thing ever
Raggmunk - Swedish potato pancakes with bacon and lingon berries
Fermented herring on crisp bread with fresh potatoes and red onion - and of course schnapps
My grandma's beautiful raspberry cake
