On a normal Saturday-night we had dinner with my in-laws. Lovely evening, and amazing food (as always), the whole thing served on a piece of wood. Very Swedish, and a bit christmassy. A long weekend in Copenhagen, full of good food. Like this: butter-pan-fried marinated fish with ryebread and remoulade. Hurray! Father-in-law went fishing yesterday and gave the catch to us. So this is a closeup of a 1,4 kilo-gädda (pike) ready to be served for dinner in the weekend. I got the honour of cleaning the beast this morning. Lucky me :/ When sharing my life with a Swedish man, I get to enjoy the beautiful results of his cooking skills (and they are always fantastic). And since Christmas is coming closer, his latest kitchen endeavors resulted in the beauty: classic gravad salmon, a must-have on the Swedish Christmas-table. It tastes absolutely wonderful. Today’s production in the kitchen: 4 small glasses of red currant jelly. Am quite proud of the fact that the consistency actually *is* like jelly – all wobbly and see through – and it’s my very first batch! My idea of a superb way to celebrate a Sunday evening: fudgy chocolate/coffee cake served with vanilla ice cream. Match this with rain, candles and a movie. I shall not complain. Red currant from the garden, a bit of water and some sugar. And now I have one and a half bottle of homemade red currant cordial in my cupboard. The first of many more to come. |
