Chef wannabe : Christmas food 2020

24 December 2020

Today is Christmas eve! On this day, the Swedes celebrate Christmas. 

We prepared the food that is mostly found on a Christmas buffet - Christmas ham (I have no idea why is it called Christmas ham when it is just normal ham), limpa bread (made from sourdough), anchovies gratin (also known as Janssons frestelse), kale soup, brussel sprouts, meatballs, prince sausages (short sausages of 5-7cm in length), cheese, boiled potatoes, hard boiled eggs topped with shrimp salad, pickled herrings (we got 2 free jars from a local food store), cured salmon, beetroot salad and fruit cake.

Christmas project - Wooden box filled with cookies

23 December 2020

For this year's Christmas, I came up with an idea to make a wooden box and fill it with home-baked cookies that are usually eaten during Christmas. Well, actually it was not my idea. I was flipping through a food magazine and the arrangement of cookies was in a box. I asked my boyfriend what is the box made of. He said that it was just plywood and it is easy to construct. So, that is how our project got initiated!

This is our Christmas present to 4 families.
