MatHias’s FiFtH BirtHday<br />
That’s right, not Mathias Dahlgren himself of course, but his creation The <strong>Dining</strong><br />
Room & Food Bar at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm. His restaurant is included in<br />
the World’s 50 Best restaurants amongst many other awards and honours. To<br />
celebrate this, Mathias invited some friends from near and far to join him in<br />
cooking a meal, and invited a select group of guests. From the Tartine Bakery in<br />
San Francisco came Chad Robertson, one<br />
of the world’s leading sourdough bakers,<br />
who served his specialty, a little burnt<br />
bread with its unique flavor and texture.<br />
Bo Bech from Geist in Copenhagen served<br />
dishes of only raw food. Well, if you can<br />
call thin slices of cauliflower with foam<br />
on whey butter, and black truffle cream<br />
and salted butter raw food! It’s probably<br />
the most luxurious and delicious raw food<br />
that’s been served on a plate in a long time. Bo comes back later with boiled<br />
lamb’s heart in a broth with ginger, lime, soy and sesame. In between times Martin<br />
Bergman, Mathias´s chef and friend of eleven years, serves steamed cod with<br />
mushroom emulsion. Then Mathias himself creates a steak tartar and oysters,<br />
as easy as it sounds, but tastier than any other steak tartar, whether you like<br />
oysters or not. Our own sourdough pioneer Tina Fernlund has left the baking table<br />
for the day and instead cooked a heavenly smooth cheesecake with softened<br />
rhubarb and a little whipped cream. If this is a fifth birthday, just imagine what a<br />
tenth will be like!<br />

steninge swedisH art 2012<br />
Steninge Castle, beautifully situated between Stockholm<br />
City and Arlanda Airport, is a popular destination with<br />
an emphasis on Swedish and Nordic tradition. The magnificent<br />
stone barn of immense historical value in itself,<br />
accommodates a glass studio, a shop where you can<br />
indulge in Swedish design for the delights of the table, a<br />
garden area as well as a restaurant and cafe. Upstairs is<br />
the large gallery, which until August 4, houses the works<br />
of 12 Swedish artists.<br />
Birgitta Watz, the potter and trinket maker, always has<br />
food in mind in everything she does. Even objects that<br />
are apparently just for decoration are based on food -<br />
ceramic fish in barrels, a pumpkin in black glaze or a rough egg. A hamburger<br />
meal is not usually referred to as <strong>Fine</strong> <strong>Dining</strong>, but Clara<br />
Hallencreutz´s humorous works of art will entertain the<br />
viewer. Hans Frode makes classic fruit ‘still life’ but with<br />
a twist. Manuela Vintilescu has a penchant for Japanese<br />
subjects which she has transferred to serving trays, an<br />
absolute must in every home.<br />
