About my blog

Enjoy this ongoing collection of recipes. Growing up in Sweden, my brother and I took turns cooking family meals. At age 10 I started collecting recipes. My food passion has led to an honorary mentioning in a magazine cooking contest, a stint in a medieval restaurant kitchen in Munich, and producing restaurant newsletters in NYC. I like to explore and experiment. A few recipes are vegan = V.

Chicken spread from leftovers

In my mother's kitchen, wasting food is considered a felony. She grew up amid food insecurity and considers expiration dates an invention with the purpose of selling more food to those gullible enough to throwing away instead of trusting their eyes, noses and taste buds.

Whenever I have leftover grilled chicken, I cut it in small pieces. Then I mix equal amounts of sour cream and mayonnaise with a little rice vinegar and generous amounts of curry powder and raisins. Sometimes I add grapes cut in small pieces and chopped walnuts. Tastes great on toasts with a salad on the side. The amount of sour cream and mayo depends on how much chicken there is, but for half a chicken I use about 1/3 cup of each and two tsp of curry powder. You can also add chopped celery stalks.
