Fertilizing light in an oh so rainy autumn darkness

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, as old Confucius so wisely put it. And why not light it in the Befruktaren candlestick in a delicious design by Alexander Lervik.

News MoV -96

The fun little tealight holders, cast in raw aluminum, are an idea from Alexander Lervik, a student at Beckmans design program. Light one or several, price 90 SEK each at among others Clark’s Case.

OVEN-BAKED POTATOES WITH FOIE GRAS

The finesse of this dish is experiencing the contrast between the refrigerator-cold foie gras and the hot, freshly baked potato. Feel free to serve flake salt with it – also sold under the name gourmet salt.

This is needed for 4 people: 75 g genuine goose liver or duck liver

The holder finds its way

Candle holders with potency have been designed in aluminum by Alexander Bervik, Ung Design. "Befruktaren" is what he calls the tealight holder that he would most like to see glowing in mass production. Perhaps someone will still find their way. They cost 95 kronor each at Biondi and Clarcs case, among others.

2 slightly above medium-sized potatoes olive oil for brushing approx. 1 tsp sesame seeds flake salt + a touch of freshly ground white pepper

Do this:

1. Set the oven to 250°. Wash and brush the potatoes well and cut them in halves lengthwise. Brush the cut surfaces lightly with oil and place the potatoes in an ovenproof dish. Optionally slice off a thin piece from the bottom of each potato half so it stands evenly in the dish. 2. Season the potatoes lightly with flake salt and a touch of freshly ground white pepper and sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Bake the potatoes until soft, 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately topped with a thin slice of refrigerator-cold foie gras, serve flake salt alongside.

Price approx. 300 SEK (truffled foie gras 295 SEK).
