Slow-cooked pork in crock-pot

I sometimes wonder how I managed to blog so much in the past. Or even how I managed to cook. I feel like many of my skills are completely gone, and I feel, at times, insecure and a little lost in my own kitchen. I look at some of my old recipes and marvel at the energy and skill that went into that. (Honestly, how was I ever able to do this ?) Goes to show that cooking, like most other skills, is something you need to active work on at all times. Oh well. I guess I just have to come to terms with the fact that at this time in my life, cooking and blogging are no longer top priorities. I feel a little sad at acknowledging that, but that's just how it is. I miss the old days sometimes, and I miss the close-knit feel of the blogging community. But it's ok to be sentimental. However, I'll get a post up every now and then. And I'm pretty active over at Instagram, so feel free to hang out with me there! And today, I'm all about dinner that pretty much cook themselves.

My favorite photographer

Today I won't really talk about food, although I have a massive overdue post about our 13-course dinner. Instead, I want to give you a tip about a great photographer for anyone in the Stockholm area. Her name is Lisa-Marie Chandler , and she does all kind of stuff but specializes in kids, family portraits, pregnancy photos and weddings. I've had her photograph my kids many times and it's always such a delight - she's fun and sweet with them, and the finished pictures are simply amazing. She even came to Dante's third birthday party (can't believe that's nearly two years ago!) and the photo above is one of my favorites. So, if you need a photographer, give her a shout! Tell her I sent you! :-) Website Facebook Instagram

Cookbook Watch: Hemkunskap

"Hemkunskap" is the name of the latest cookbook by Mathias Dahlgren, a superstar Swedish chef with one of the most creative minds in the business. That translates into "Home Economics" - the high school subject. In my hemkunskap-class, we learned how to make meatballs, pancakes, how to properly wash dishes, clean a house and some other stuff. The book won't teach you any house cleaning but it will certainly teach you a lot of new, fun dishes. And very, very approachable. This is a book for everyone - it might be geared towards those who are not very comfortable in the kitchen, but even experienced cooks will get a lot out of this. If nothing else, awesome ideas and beautiful photos. I can't want to cook from this one!
