I love Sweden, Swedish people, Swedish design, language and, at risk of sounding like a Swedophile, I even love Swedish food, which is, let’s face it, not for everybody. Elk meatballs, reindeer pizza, curried herring, pickled herring, chilli herring, cardamom buns, schnapps – it’s an acquired taste. To me, the flavours of Swedish food always [...]

But who on earth would consider eating raw food in Paris anyway? Well. Me. I did. But only for a very, very brief amount of time. I thought that, in [...]
