Foodie Humor
Stuck in the midst of a winter cold, and so when I came across the new series called Foodies, I was highly entertained. Nothing beats tongue-in-cheek humor in my book.
Mockumenting “a group of L.A. culinary enthusiasts whose passion for food spills off the table and into their personal lives,” the series is all devoted to poking fun at the smugness that so many love to point out comes along with loving good food. That assumed pretension some people think is inherent in the foodie movement may or may not be a valid argument, but in poking fun at it, Foodies is actually giving the movement more street cred.
I mean, come on… “She’s still into me, cheese puffs prove it.” Genius. Watch the trailer here.

Sunday Inspiration
Curled up on the couch with coffee, scones, and the New York Times. Hours spent perusing this season’s Times Style Magazine, looking for design inspiration and getting caught up in stylized photo shoots. Blissful Sunday.
Window Food
Love this concept fresh out of San Francisco, which I came across while writing this week’s Foodie Underground. It’s called Fat Cookies and they’re serving fresh baked goods straight out of their second story window with the good ole bag and string combo.

Afternoon Procrastination: Tarte Au Citron
Those Meyer lemons were just sitting on the table staring at me. And I did have a dinner party to go to. So tarte au citron it had to be. Nothing like an apartment filled with citrus scent to re-motivate on the to do lists.
Friday Photo: Quinoa Spring Rolls
Quinoa spring rolls = amazing. Quinoa, carrots and other deliciousness wrapped in rice paper and sprinkled with brewer’s yeast and pumpkin seeds. Completed with ginger infused soy sauce.
Foodie Underground: Scandinavian Takeover
Covered the Scandinavian food trend over on EcoSalon today. Love to see Swedish food making its way around the globe… I’ll take a fika any day.
Notice how any recent mention of fare from Sweden, Norway and Denmark also denotes how a Scandinavian food trend is quickly making its way into all kinds of food markets?
Why it’s taken so long for Scandinavian fare to hit the global market is beyond me, but with simple, down to earth ingredients, in the time of slow food movements and a return to more classic, traditional recipes, the timing for Viking-inspired recipes makes sense. Point being, Scandinavian inspired recipes are going to be hot this year, and you’d better prepare yourself.
Growing up with a Swedish mother and annual trips to visit my family have certainly impacted the way that I cook, and for a while now, I’ve been drooling over Kalle Bergman’s Huffington Post column, every time thinking to myself, “I need to be writing that.” Well, now’s the time.
Here’s your quick and dirty guide to everything you need to know to staying on top of the Scandinavian food trend.
