I bought a portable gas stove at the Japanese store recently!
It says outdoor use only but I bet none of the Japanese people that are buying things from the store believe that. So I didn’t either.
Mmm, salmon sukiyaki. Just like regular one, minus the meat but plus thinly sliced salmon. (I didn’t have chinese cabbage [...]

I made homemade 4-cheese ravioli tonight!
It was the first time I made pasta from scratch – the baking bug has bitten me.
Making the pasta dough was pretty easy, despite it being my first try with homemade pasta! I used the recipe from my trusty allround cookbook for 6 portions of dough – 6dl flour, 4 [...]

It’s midsummer here in Sweden* and I packed bentoboxes to bring on a celebratory picknick.
Most of the food is Swedish food that’s somewhat typical to have at parties like midsummer. The upper box contains brussel sprouts, a hardboiled egg, locally grown ripe and luscious strawberries (drooool!), chili cheese bits on picks instead of meatballs for [...]

Cherry tomatoes and sugarpeas on the side and a silicon muffin cup with sugared ginger sticks and blue grapes.
Photo credit goes to my boyfriend because my nose itches so much I literally couldn’t [...]

I love shopping days. I usually end up making a whole lot of different fresh foods that day!
After using up fridge contents last week, I have leftovers for bento today.
1/4 of a mini pie with feta and sundried tomatoes, rucola, two heirloom tomatoes and a fishy with vinaigrette in the top layer.
Half a marbled muffin [...]

I harvested my first homegrown zucchini today!
A piece of it is in this bento, stuffed with risotto. Then there’s triangles of rosemary polenta, ratatouille, some salad leaves and grapes for dessert.
The BF has the same, with polenta cut into hearts (I’m soppy…):
The cutouts are hidden underneath the ratatouille.
The ratatouille and polenta are leftovers from yesterday; [...]

Cold noodles with a dressing of sesame oil, mirin, soy, sugar and lemon juice topped with woked veggies, salmon and prawns. It’s a recipe adapted from a restaurant food I had a while ago – and just the right thing for summer!
In the small compartments are more noodles with spring onions topped by a fishy [...]
