Den Gyldene Freden – review
We had bought a Groupon-deal for 3 courses for 695 crowns for 2 persons and we were there on Tuesday at 7:45pm. The restaurant is located in the Old Town and that instantly conjures up memories of over-rated restaurants with over-the-top prices! Fortunately, this wasn’t the case as we had...Read more

The Food Experiments Chili Cook-off
Boy, that was the most fun we’ve had in a long time. Yes, the preparation and cooking and all logistics associated with being in such an event was a pain but it was soooo worth it even though we didn’t win! It was our first time and we didn’t really...Read more
Tweak #3 of our chili recipe
I wrote yesterday that the fusion chili was funky. One day later and it has really developed into something special. Unfortunately, hubby doesn’t like it at all! For the third and last tweak, we’re going traditional! We’ve always added our own twist to a recipe so it has never been...Read more
Tweak #2 of our chili recipe
First off, the first tweak didn’t develop in taste as I had hoped. The flavours were much weaker one day later and I’m not talking about the heat. I suspect that we were too ravenous last night and allowed our stomachs to discern the taste which of course is totally...Read more

The contest is called the Food Experiments after all so we’re adopting the same spirit The tweak: 3 extra ingredients that we don’t normally use and less spice. The result – the best chili we’ve ever made....Read more
China’s Peking duck – review
China (Dragonhouse) has half-price Peking ducks on Monday nites for 298 crowns and this was what we were going for. We were 15 persons and the plan was gorge ourselves on the ducks. It was Monday at 7pm and the resto was packed and everyone was quacking away their share....Read more
Chili on my mind
…in my head, on my body, in my tastebuds, nothing but chilis. I’m really scared now! I should have listened to hubby! He was wondering why I was always going off on wild adventures and half-baked schemes. But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I have to do this, if...Read more
No original idea left?
According to DN, a Swedish national newspaper, Swedish TV SVT1 will be copycatting the BBC’s series The Supersizers go… where two Swedish hosts will travel back in time to past epochs to taste the food from those periods. Seriously people, is this what the world has come to and the...Read more
Too fat to chase bad guys?
Just read an article in the Telegraph that police officers will be required to undergo annual fitness tests and be penalised with pay cuts if they fail. I can only applaud this action!!! Do I feel safe when I see overweight coppers? Nope, no chance in hell! Everyone knows that...Read more
