This is a good thing...as Ms. Martha Stewart might say.
You could say that we are a perfect match, or a match made in heaven...but that is a bit cheesy.
Me, Kristina...your primary narrater... is an aspiring illustrator but spends her days in a tiny catering kitchen in the middle of Stockholm assisting two very different but equally talented cooks. The menus, taste combinations, and techniques I learn here are taken home to be experimented with and mastered at home...at the moment I, along with everyone else it seems, is obsessed with the art of sourdough bread baking. Many times these experiments end with a pleasant surprise and will be documented and flaunted here.
Johan my partner in crime...goof! is a genius. He has worked many years at Systembolaget and has acquired an insane catalog of knowledge of wine, both the knowledge of how wine is made and how it can complement food to make a menu even more enjoyable. He will be responsible for the posts concerning wine...of course. He is also studying engineering at KTH if that wasn't impressing enough and has a great interest for art and design as well.
So we are a team. We are not pros by any means but pretty dang talented if I say so my self. We dream up our menus and new food projects together and often shop the items for our special dinners together as well. On most Saturdays we treat ourselves to fancy dinners...sometimes even three courses with wine to match. I am often in charge of the cooking and enjoy the setting of the table. Johan always picks the wine and likes to take the photos. We talk about food all the time and we both like to try new things. As we are both easily disappointed in dining out many many many meals are made at home.
We hope you will enjoy!
