My favourite sumer food probably sounds very boring, but if one takes care to use the best quality possible, it’s delicious. Boiled white fish with new potatoes, clarified butter and chopped hard-boiled eggs. When I was a child the fish we used was northern pike, which my father or grandfather had just caught, but nowadays we usually buy fresh cod. The new potatoes come from the garden. The clarified butter must be real butter, and organic eggs taste the best. One can mix the butter and the eggs, but we prefer to keep them separate, so each can take after taste.

 

Also, for me this tastes best eaten outside the summer house, on dishes called “Grön berså” (green bower) by the Swedish designer Stig Lindberg in 1960.

Thank you! I loved those dishes since I was a kid.

Lovely dishes, they look like classics. I think I've seen them somewhere before. 😊

[scripsi]

I'm not surprised if you have. They are definitly a classic in Sweden, and pretty everything originals from that designer are super expensive.

This dish set looks marvellous, I totally understand how it would brighten every (summer) meal eaten from it! And your favourite summer food sounds lovely, not boring at all-- au contraire, when it's top quality these ingredients come to life all the better on their own. ♥
