It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a dedicated home chef - With this book you're invited to explore new grounds in your kitchen with a focus on cooking, serving and sharing, ending up creating stories and memories with the people you love.

In this book you'll find 13 recipes for different occasions, where we then will cook 12 more during a year together on my instagram @stinafood. These recipes will be created based on what you are looking for when it comes to food for specific occasions, the use of specific ingredients, or just what you'd like to explore. Hope to see you there!

Book preview

My first cookbook. Equally exciting, equally scary. This has been a vivid dream in my head for such a long time and now we’re here. An intense couple of months of exploring, writing recipes, taking pictures, editing, designing, writing copy, setting layout, typo and getting it all together. It’s been a blast and this wouldn’t have been possible without all the help, support and cheering I’ve received.

Thanks to mom, Karin, for being there from start to finish. Teaching me so much about working visually, working with InDesign, along the way while supporting me and cheering me on. You’ve been eating all my food, answering all my questions and giving me feedback 24/7. You’ve been taking my calls, rating pictures and giving honest opinions, sending me in the right direction. You’ve been such an inspiration and blessing, thank you for everything.

Thank you to my brother, Isak, for supporting me. Eating my food and cooking the recipes. You’ve been reading, correcting and giving me feedback. During this journey you have been giving me confidence, helping me believe I could do this. Thank you.

Thank you Eric, for reading this book over and over again to catch all the mistakes I’ve let slip through. Without you, there’d be a lot of peppar (pepper in swedish) and a lot less pepper in this book. You’re a rock, thanks.

Thanks to Katarina Dalunde Eriksson, for being an amazing guiding star and mentor, for believing in me, for pushing me and for teaching me to believe in myself. I’m so grateful for your support and honesty, this would turn out completely different if it wasn’t for you.

I also want to say THANK YOU to all my friends, classmates & family members that have helped me, for investing your time and energy into this project. I am forever grateful. You are superstars.

Thank

you

Introduction

So, here we are. When I started writing this cookbook I had a clear vision of what I wanted it to be, with a pinch of naivety assuming it would easily print onto paper. Now, after a lot of twists and turns, I would like to say that it has translated quite well, even though it has transformed into something else. Writing this book has truly been a journey for me, and I’ve gone through a variety of different concepts and ideas to create something cool and unique. In the end, I’ve scrapped most of those concepts
