Writer: Peter Bergström

Here we go again! I (Peter) visited the Kassandra peninsula that I wrote about yesterday and that was the first part. Today I will try to make the Greeks proud and write about five good restaurants in Kassandra. A few days ago we presented a survey about the Swedish people's views on food in different countries. Greece was at the top and I can only agree.

Raclette in Switzerland - eating cheese for dinner?

Writer: Helena Bergström

We're back in Sweden, but now we have to tell you about the cheese and dish raclette in Switzerland! Before we travelled to Switzerland, I had a rather vague idea of raclette. I knew it involved melted cheese and some kind of side dish, but you can't just eat cheese for dinner, can you? Or can you ... ? We have now had raclette twice - once in the traditional way and once with a raclette iron on the table. Now we know a bit more what it's all about.

Perhaps the best sushi in Stockholm

Fondue - Swiss, Swedish and Japanese

Writer: Helena Bergström

I've always been a bit confused when people talk about fondue. What exactly is it? The word sounds undeniably French. But it also makes me think of the Alps. Peter, however, who is 15 years older than me, has grown up with fondue as a "Swedish classic". And besides ... you can get some kind of fondue in some Asian restaurants, right?

Chinese fine dining in Stockholm

Writer: Helena Bergström

Chinese food has got a bit of a bad reputation in our part of the world, unfortunately. At best, you might think of a tasty, but predictable, "four small dishes" at a suburban restaurant with a red plush interior. That's not necessarily wrong in itself, but Chinese food can be so much more than that! Last Thursday evening, my old colleagues celebrated my departure and we took the opportunity to try Chinese fine dining in Stockholm.
