Cheeseboard drop-off! Fresh honey comb added!

Cheeseboard drop off! 
Our cheese boards are always generously presented with some extra added treats... 
Today we added fresh honey comb - goes really well with aged cheeses with some "nuttiness" like Parmigiano-Reggiano, a tangy Cheddar or a gorgeous Gruyere. 

Honey (especially a lavender /thyme or orange blossom one) also works really well with fresh creamy cheeses like Ricotta, goat cheese or feta. 

For the perfect match with your blue cheese - use a more subtle flavoured honey - the mellow sweetness will cut the saltiness from the cheese perfectly! 

Up for a cheeseboard extraordinaire? Just contact us!

24 hour Sweden visit - for a great meal - maybe the best ever....

24 hour Sweden visit - for a great meal. 
Maybe the best meal ever....

On Saturday half of Mrs.Sw13 (Caroline) flew to Sweden for a prelaunch of the new spring menu by Swedish Michelin star chef Daniel Berlin (which is also the name of his restaurant. All of this was executed to perfection - and in a gorgeous pink castle: Boo slott.... Professional, gastronomic fairytale moment for sure!

Picture from: bonappetit.com

  
Daniel Berlin is one of Sweden's most highly rated chefs, producing stunning innovative dishes in his small 14-cover restaurant in southern Sweden. He has often been described as a genius by restaurant critics.

One of Daniel Berlin's signature dishes (served on this evening - YAY!) is a whole cricket-ball-sized blackened celeriac, usually brought to the table with its skin gently smouldering. The flesh is scooped out and laid on a bowl of sago grains before being drizzled with Vasterbottenost sauce. All this is the result of cooking the celeriac for 6-8 hours, by which time it become quite meaty and earthy. In true Berlin style, nothing is wasted: he uses the blacked skin in his sourdough.

Thank you Sandra and Carl-Fredrik for hosting this amazing evening! Wonderful food, awesome chefs and utterly impressive staff during the evening that made this so special.

Baked Tomato, Feta & Garlic - gorgeously tasty!

I cooked this at my local Arts centre the other day - a mouthwatering win! Baked Tomato, Feta & Garlic
If you’ve never baked feta before, get ready for a really great taste and texture sensation!
3-4 Large tomatoes, halved horizontally + some cherry / cocktail tomatoes (on the vine if you have), 400g Feta cheese, 2 Whole head of garlic, halved horizontally, a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary - season well with salt and pepper, caster sugar to sprinkle on top, olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
HOW TO MAKE IT:
Pre-heat oven to 180C
Arrange the large tomatoes cut-side-up on the tray, then add the cherry tomatoes, feta, garlic and thyme. Season well with salt and pepper, sprinkle the tomatoes with sugar, then drizzle all over with olive oil and a little lemon juice
Bake for 45 minutes until the feta and garlic is golden
Remove from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with more olive oil if served with bread, pasta or with fresh green leaves / spinach / kale… Gorgeously tasty!
