Photographs of fifteen families and the food they eat in a week.

Article: Squid Tips.

Or: how to prepare fresh squid.

To prepare squid, grasp the body in one hand and pull out the tentacles firmly with the other. Pull any greyish membrane off the outside of the body, and take out the "quill", a clear plastic-like bone inside.


Article/Blog Post: How do you solve a problem like kohlrabi?

In scandinavian cooking kohlrabi is quite common. It is used in stews and soups, but my personal favourite is mashed kohlrabi. It has a more distinct taste than mashed potatoes, so it's a very good company to salty, smoked mutton and richly flavoured sausages. You make it much the same way as you would make mashed potatoes. Peel and slice it, cook it until its soft and mash it with an unhealthy amount of butter, cream/milk, salt and pepper. Some like a bit of nutmeg in and the more adventorous use vanilla. Good luck!
