Magnus Blog

Hi,

Just a short notice. I’ve decided to move out blogging about food to a separate blog. I’ll still keep this site up, at least as an archive. I might also do some personal blogging sometime. I have copied the most recent entries about food from here, and I might go on and copy some of [...]

I just wanted to report back on the cooking of my chili (well, kinda mine, I borrowed it from Alton Brown, and modified it a bit) in a pressure cooker.

It didn’t really work out that well. I cooked it for 25 minutes in the pressure cooker as per the original recipe (which was made for [...]

Season’s greetings to any and all readers (most likely any)!

The holidays was just upon us, and I did receive many great gifts. Some of them were even kitchen related, but I wanted to focus in on one of them here in this entry.

This a WMF Perfect Plus Pressure Cooker, 6.5 Liters. I’ve been wanting a [...]

My copy of River Cottage Every Day is here! Happy days are here again, as they say. It really is a great book. I really love the River Cottage books, since Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has a philosophy about food that I really can agree with.

There are many interesting recipes, a few of them are so exciting [...]

A new day, with new delicious food. Today I made a roast tomato soup. There was a recipe for one in the River Cottage Cookbook, and I thought it looked interesting

While I had a slight hiccup with the rice that the recipe called for, and thus left it out, the flavor was great. [...]

I have a new recipe for you today, a delicious lamb stew. Stews are perhaps the ultimate proof that investing time in your food gives excellent return on investment. This stew is, like I said, a lamb stew. Growing up, we didn’t eat a lot of lamb. In fact, I cannot recall having lamb at [...]

I didn’t write anything yesterday, even though I ate. Yesterday I had a steak, with a baked potato and a cob of corn. I didn’t even take a picture, because it’s just too easy

Sadly, if you were looking for a new recipe today, you’re out of luck. I haven’t made dinner yet, but [...]

I’ve been meaning to do this for quite some time now, but it’s hard to find real chard here (any greens that aren’t baby greens or lettuce are difficult to find here, except for collard greens at christmas). When I saw that I was getting chard in this weeks box from Årstiderna I was of [...]

After a mishap with the dishwasher, resulting in delaying my dinner for about an hour, my dinner is finally on the stove simmering. Today I’m having vegetable soup. I won’t bother posting a recipe for it, it’s just vegetables (in this case, leeks, potatoes, carrots and green beans) and some chicken broth. Pre-made chicken broth.

I [...]

I have a lot of carrots right now, so I searched for a recipe which would allow me to use them up. I found a carrot casserole. I was a bit skeptical, but I decided to give it a go. In many ways, this wasn’t quite what I had expected.

For one thing, I cut myself [...]
