A food - list.
What is the most delicious breakfast? I’ll have to say oatmeal with almond milk, cinnamon, cardamom, chopped dates, sliced bananas and a handful of nuts!
How were you with food as a child? I was not very picky and ate everything mommy served me.
The best chocolate? Lindt 70% dark chocolate with sea salt!!
The top three best products? Avocado, because it’s so freaking delicious! Butter, I don’t think I have to explain why. Quark, because it’s so easy, quick, and delicious with fruit, berries and nuts. Competitors on the list: banana, watermelon, cashewnuts, and onions that makes everything tastes sooo much better!
If you had to eat only food from one food culture for the rest of your life, which one would you choose? Hmm, tricky! I have to say Vietnamese. Coriander, fish sauce and all different banh’s and bao’s are so very good!!
What do you think the ultimate salad should contain? A filling base of brown rice, cucumber, avocado, fresh sashimi, edamame beans, nori, black sesame rice vinegar and soy sauce – basically a sushi salad.
Best potatoes type? Oh, sweet potatoes in the oven with black- and cayenne pepper.
Do you have some expensive food habits? Nuts maybe.
What do you cook if you have minimal time in the kitchen? An oatmeal bowl with egg white. Cook some oatmeal with water or any kind of milk in a casserole. Top with fruit, berries, nuts, seeds and nut butter. MMMMMM.
How does the best weekend breakfast look like? Freshly baked sourdough bread, waffles, squeezed orange juice, eggs in all different kinds of forms, avocado, cheese, fruits and berries.
Which is the latest ingredient or dish you learned to like? Liquorice. You constantly have to try everything you make in pastry, and I can’t dodge from trying products with liquorice every time. I’m happy my sensations for liquorice has opened up and now I actually like it a lot.
Your best budget dish? I always have eggs at home, so an omelette with whatever you have in the pantry
What do you eat for lunch? Very different, it depends on my schedule. But I eat breakfast – food four out of five times a week.
What is the best thing to eat and drink on a Saturday night? Now that it's almost summer a thin-crust pizza at a park or on the beach with ginger beer sounds so nice! Otherwise at home, homemade burgers and strawberry lemonade.
Share some clever cooking tricks! Top all foods with fresh herbs, cook grains like rice and pasta in a stock, and fry in butter, not oil!
What do you cook if you are going to cook for many people? Tacos I think. A lot of many different components you can pick and mix by yourself.
Which dish do you think that more people should discover? Pork buns! It is a taste experience beyond the ordinary.

Mozzarella di bufala
I discovered this cheese two years ago when my friend brought this back when he was in Italy. I've thought about it ever since, and then when I came here, to Italy, I found it. I've eaten it more than it's good for me. I'm telling you fresh buffalo mozzarella is one of the miracles of Italian cuisine. It’s exactly like regular mozzarella except that it’s made with milk squeezed out of a buffalo. The good stuff is almost unrealistically soft — it seems like the reason the word “mouthfeel” was invented. Yes, it's a bit more pricey, bit I promise, the taste is worth it. So don't miss out on this when you're in Italy (can be found in almost every supermarket).
