...Chokladrutor

I absolutely love midnight baking!

Yesterday, Seems So Far Away

 At Göteborgs Choklad & Delikatessfestival. This kind of fair is dangerous for me, I always tend to buy too much.

 Perfectly Braised Pork Belly at Proviant.

PM has now been reopened after three weeks of renovation. I like it!

Great day with great company!

Bror & Syster

Bror came by a few days ago and I made him his favorite dish, Baked Pork Chops with Rice (焗豬扒飯), and Cantonese-style Roast Duck. My first attempt making Roast Duck and it was really fun preparing the duck.

It has been a while now since I cooked for Bror, it's always nice having him around. He sure knows how to make his sister laugh.

Majorna

Café Oceanen, their cinnamon buns and "chokladrutor" are so tasty!

Kafé Marmelad and delicious buns from Cum Pane.

 José González

I heard José González live at Yaki-Da a few days ago. He's really talented! There is something very magical about a man and his guitar.

Barcelona 2009

Bror came home from BCN today. Oh, I miss Barcelona! It's been way too long since last time I was there.

Chiffon Cake Recipe

It's after midnight, and I'm in my kitchen waiting for my Chiffon Cake to cool. The first one that I made last Friday, was ok. Mom, the person whom I'm trying to please, said that it wasn't soft and light enough. So I modified the recipe and I must say that I'm very happy with the results. The cake turned out very light, fluffy and soft.

My second attempt.

Ingredients:

Egg Yolks              6
Caster Sugar       50g
Corn Oil              50ml
Coconut Milk    120ml
Cake Flour        105g
Baking Powder     1tsp
Salt                    1/8tsp
Vanilla Sugar      1-2tsp

Egg Whites             6
Castor Sugar      145g


Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
2. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until thick and creamy.
3. Mix the corn oil and coconut milk, and add it slowly to the mixture while whisking.
4. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and vanilla sugar into the batter and whisk until it's well combined.
5. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form. You know it's ready when you can flip the bowl over your head and the meringue should not fall.
6. Gently stir one third of the meringue into the batter. Then add the rest of the meringue to the batter and GENTLY fold the mixture in.
7. Pour the mixture into an ungreased baking pan.
8. Put the cake into the oven and bake it for 45 minutes.
9. Invert the cake and let it cool.
10. Use a metal spatula or sharp knife to separate the sides of the cake from the pan.

Good luck!

Classics

I bought this baking pan a few months ago and yesterday I decided to try it out, so I made Mom's favorite cake.

Orange Chiffon Cake

 Dinner at Lagerhuset, Pelle Danielsson's (Restaurant Hos Pelle) new venture.

Mini Pizza, Fried Chanterelles with Toast and Marrow Bone (love marrow bones!), Pickled Mackerel with Grilled Artichoke, Pork Belly Sandwich (I'm so weak for pork belly, one day I'll tell you guys about my love for pork.)

 The food was ok, Hos Pelle has definitely better food, but it's more laid back at Lagerhuset and I like the interior.

Lillan and I went to our favorite bar at Avalon Hotel yesterday and visited our favorite bartender. He spoiled us with lots of great cocktails, with ingredients like Saffron, Agave Nectar, Smoked Sea Salt, Violet, Forest Heather Sugar. Absolutely wonderful!

Lovely Tuesday

 Sweater Weekday (menswear), skirt Åhlens, scarf H&M, shoes Hope

 Kanelbullens Dag. I could easily eat one more cinnamon bun.

I had a great time at Tapasbaren today. This little cozy place opened for about a month ago in Majorna, my best tapas experience in Gothenburg so far. Love their Pan Con Aioli, my guess is that the bread is from their neighbor Cum Pane.
