Yesterday we tried sushi on a conveyor belt in the Mall of Scandinavia in Solna. Or rather, Peter has actually tried it before, but this time he took me with him. We were going to shop for some clothes for once and at the same time we thought we would take the opportunity to eat sushi - on a conveyor belt. Really fun, I must say. And yes, good too!

We're back in Sweden, but now we have to tell you about the cheese and dish raclette in Switzerland! Before we travelled to Switzerland, I had a rather vague idea of raclette. I knew it involved melted cheese and some kind of side dish, but you can't just eat cheese for dinner, can you? Or can you ... ? We have now had raclette twice - once in the traditional way and once with a raclette iron on the table. Now we know a bit more what it's all about.
Read moreIt's that time again and the weeks go by so incredibly fast. We have heat and I am very happy about it. The week has been up and down. I have picked up the motorhome in Kristinehamn with lots of errors and I am deeply angry, but we will take it on Tuesday with film and photos.
Read moreThis weekend we visited our friends Lennart and Beata, who live in Bromma in Stockholm. Instead of being invited for dinner (which we thought we would be), they wanted to invite us to their nearest sushi restaurant. We love sushi so we had absolutely nothing against it, but we didn't realise that we would be invited to what is perhaps the best sushi in Stockholm...!
Read moreYesterday, when I came home from work, I thought that Peter would offer me a "normal" Friday dinner. Maybe salmon or cod or chicken or something like that. Talk about getting a surprise! When I stepped into the houseboat, luxurious canapés were laid out all over the table, and Peter was busy opening a bottle of cava ...
Read moreI've always been a bit confused when people talk about fondue. What exactly is it? The word sounds undeniably French. But it also makes me think of the Alps. Peter, however, who is 15 years older than me, has grown up with fondue as a "Swedish classic". And besides ... you can get some kind of fondue in some Asian restaurants, right?
Read moreA few days ago we wrote about fish dishes with delicious accompaniments and then several people thought we should write about fish gratin as well. We really like fish gratin - it's so delicious and simple - so we thought we'd take the opportunity to write about some of our favourites. At the same time, we hope you'll share your favourite fish gratin recipes!
Read moreIs there anything as delicious (and also happens to be healthy) as fish and vegetables? We're trying to eat more fish and vegetables, and less meat, and it's not that hard considering how delicious and easy it can be. Here are some of our top tips. Feel free to share yours!
Read moreChinese food has got a bit of a bad reputation in our part of the world, unfortunately. At best, you might think of a tasty, but predictable, "four small dishes" at a suburban restaurant with a red plush interior. That's not necessarily wrong in itself, but Chinese food can be so much more than that! Last Thursday evening, my old colleagues celebrated my departure and we took the opportunity to try Chinese fine dining in Stockholm.
Read moreSo, how good and nice can it be to go out to eat one evening? Last Saturday we joined Peter's eldest son Robin and his wife Alexandra, as well as Robin's mum, sister and sister's boyfriend, at a tapas restaurant in Stockholm. It was an evening of heavenly tapas, mango daquiris, juggling bottles and of course lots of talking and laughing.
