LifestreamA grill pan is obviously a must-have in the kitchen. Top ten or fifteen gadgets probably. And after much deliberation I was finally able to come to a decision. I discarded the idea of Teflon or ceramic pans fairly early. They will both eventually scratch and will probably not stand up to the high temperatures [...]

Another item from Ebay (£4.99). I’ve been looking for these basically forever both on- and offline in Sweden but to no avail. Those that I have found have either been ridiculously expensive or made of plastic. Plus shipping and handling from the UK is actually a great deal more affordable than what you’d typically see [...]
F**k I’m tired of this shit. It’s the same thing every year. So sick of this rancid excuse for food that you’re mandated to consume every Christmas. What a colossal waste in every sense of the word. Well, at least the crows were happy. I’m sure that would piss off a lot of people but [...]
I’ve been experimenting with different recipes and methods of making fruit curds. Mostly lemon curd of course. Generally there are two or three problems that you run into when making a fruit curd. The first being how to heat the mixture sufficiently, with as little risk as possible and the second is achieving the right [...]
Got myself a few contraptions from Börner. Primarily the V4 mandoline v-slicer and combi chef plus some accessories. The herb roller / mincer pictured is from OXO, but Boerner’s mincer is a lot like it, except it has six blades and a less sexy design. I’ll have some thoughts on the operation of these appliances [...]
An excellent guide from VideoJug that sorted out a lot of the problems I had with making Falafel. Using this recipe you will get a proper dry mixture that wont fall apart or turn into a puddle. Now obviously, you can just as well fry them in a pan, or bake them in the oven.
I’ve become a pragmatic semi-vegetarian over the last six months. That is, not because of ethics but purely on a health basis and when it is practical. It took some time to build an entirely new set of recipes and procedures, and I could still use a few more for meal rotation, but overall it [...]
Seeing as it was summer and all, I wanted to try some grilling. It’s been years since I last grilled anything. Mostly because I don’t own a grill (any longer) and partly because of the inconvenience, alleged carcinogenic properties of the cooking process. Nevertheless, the idea of grilling does entice me somewhat. So I started [...]
Two hours in the woods, and in transit, for four litres of blueberries. Plus another hour maybe cleaning up and packaging them for freezing. Probably makes for some fairly expensive blueberries. Then again, there is nothing like being in the woods in the summer. Flies crawling, wasps buzzing and the crisp underbrush crackling under your [...]
