Snapshots from Sweden: Swedish Breakfast
I like breakfast, but I don't like it more than sleep. And sleep wins 99 percent of the time. But during my week in Sweden I woke up early almost every day for breakfast because Swedish breakfast is pretty great—at least, in the form of the complimentary breakfast buffets at the hotels I stayed at. If you're looking for platefuls of hash browns, syrupy pancakes, and bacon, you won't be happy, but if you like the sound of cereal, yogurt, dried fruits and nuts, and a make-your-own-open-faced-sandwich bar featuring a spread of breads, colds cuts, and cheeses, this is for you.Snapshots from Sweden: Heberleins, a Grocery Store with Soul and a Whole Lot of Cured Meat
On the outside wall of Heberleins under their windows decorated with red checkered curtains reads, "matbutiken med känsla," or "grocery store with soul." And that's what it looks like at first glance: a humble, just large enough, well stocked mom-and-pop grocery store with produce, dry and canned goods, beverages, dairy products, the requisite wall of loose candy bins...oh, and a long deli counter stuffed with sausages, hams, various cold cuts and cured meats, and more.Snapshots from Sweden: Celebrating Herring Weekend in Marstrand and Klädesholmen
Today, millions of people in Sweden (and beyond) are beginning their Midsummer celebrations with maypoles, dancing, bonfires, snaps, strawberries, and loads of pickled herring with new potatoes. When there's a holiday to be celebrated in Sweden, pickled herring can't be far away.Serious Entertaining: Swedish Midsummer
As a country whose summer is relatively short, it's no surprise that Sweden goes all out for Midsommar, a celebration of the Summer Solstice that lasts a few days Of course when the sun doesn't set until the wee hours, my feeling is that every day should be a party. Here are some dishes you can make to celebrate the holiday.Snapshots from Sweden: Sourdough Bread and Forested Trails at Sundsby Säteri
Sundsby säteri (Sundsby manor), an estate with over 600 years of history in southwest Sweden, offers miles of trails and a café and shop with locally made food, including some very good sourdough bread.Snapshots from Sweden: Strawberry Season
As summer approaches in Sweden, so does Sweden's strawberry (jordgubbar) season, and thus the season of, "Eat As Many Swedish Strawberries As You Can." If you see a strawberry stand while driving around Sweden, you should stop there and buy some strawberries. Or do what we did: Drive past the strawberry stand, three seconds later think, "Oh wait, that was a strawberry stand, why the heck are we driving away from it?" and turn the car around.Snapshots from Sweden: Vikentomater, a Tomato Farm With Over 80 Kinds of Tomatoes
If Vikentomater's endearing slogan, "In my food, on my sandwich and in my heart," doesn't grab you, maybe their boxes upon boxes of vibrant, gleaming tomatoes in different shapes (perfectly round, oblong, asymmetrically blobular), sizes (bite- to monster fist-sized), and colors (reds, purples, yellows, greens, striped)—more kinds in one spot than I had ever seen before in my life—will do the trick.Video: Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time: Superior Smörgåscake
It's been over a month since I first posted about Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time, Sweden's answer to the madness of Epic Meal Time. It's time to watch more. Especially when the latest episode is about making a giant sandwich that looks like a cake. (This site is seriously lacking smörgåstårta coverage. Man, just look at 'em.)Video: Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time
If Epic Meal Time took place in Sweden instead of Canada and showed you how to make ordinary dishes like macaroni with bacon instead of meat-centric behemoths, it would go a little something like Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
