They prepare the fresh cheeses on a Friday. You can’t keep them for a while. But, that’s not really a problem. We have the perfect protein source … More Something beautiful to serve
We had an amazing day in Bohuslän, the western coastal region. The landscape is amazing, the weather ideal ( sunny, and around 20-21 degrees). Walking through Fjallbäcka we even found a fish shop, so our proteins were decided. Nothing better than a side dish with green asparagus, tomatoes and spring onions. Chop and fry 4 … More Our last meal in Sweden

Every Tuesday I send my wish list for the market on Thursday to Mirco, the fishmonger. Often I ask him to surprise me with a new unknown whole fish which I prepare the same day.

I love my life and I’m so grateful to be conscious of that feeling. Cooking for others is a way to express my feelings and certain ingredients make you smile even more.

Autumn is fantastic, all those contrasts in one day, I love it. We have an amazing southwest oriented terrace with the best view ever. It’s probably too hot in summer for most people, but so lovely in spring and autumn. Anyway, we love it and nearby living friends are also impressed when they pass by. … More Cold mornings, warm and sunny afternoons and almost freezing nights

Nobody forced me, so I have no reason to complain, and I can’t say that my dear wife didn’t try to convince my that I would better wait a little longer…. Anyway, I did it, enjoyed my awesome stay in Bazel with … More Hi, I’m still there 😉
