Where to Watch Season 1
8 Episodes
- Swedish Pantry
E1Episode 1Swedish PantryI visit a local flour mill, Orga Kvarn, where grain is crushed, separated and sifted, to make an exquisitely fine flour. I pick up a fruity rye flour to make knäckebrod – one of my favourite things to buy at the local supermarket. Traditionally it is the size of a vinyl record and has a hole in the middle – but for my knäckebrod, I’m keeping it super simple and a little bit rustic. - Sausage from Scratch
E2Episode 2Sausage from ScratchIn the second episode of My Swedish Kitchen, I explore Swedes love for hot dogs and the humble art of making sausages from scratch. Before the rage of food trucks and street food festivals, hot dog stands were feeding the masses in Sweden. Much like how we have a kebab at the end of a night in the UK, Swedes have always been a fan of the hot dog. - The Forest Sets the Flavor
E3Episode 3The Forest Sets the FlavorIn this episode, my journey around Sweden continues as the Autumn weather settles in. From forest foraging for mushrooms to stirring risotto on the stove, I learn about the slower way of living that captures what I love about my new home in Sweden. - Swedish House Man's Food
E4Episode 4Swedish House Man's FoodIn episode 4, I focus on cooking with the seasons. Swedish food has long relied on root veg and cabbage varieties – ingredients that have often been regarded as uninspiring. As the trend towards traditional ingredients continues, these ingredients are having a comeback! - A New Diverse Cuisine
E5Episode 5A New Diverse CuisineRachel Khoo introduces the philosophy behind Swedish expressions for a global audience. She picks up on the ways Swedes think about food, and makes her own versions of classic Swedish food with a twist. In every episode we follow Rachel as she cooks in her countryside cabin and on her "out-and-about" travel throughout Sweden, where she falls in love with the balanced and nature-led lifestyle that has influenced food culture for so long. - The Streets of Gothenburg
E6Episode 6The Streets of GothenburgIn this episode, I continue my journey throughout Sweden to explore the seafood culture of Sweden’s second-largest city, Gothenburg. Gothenburg is the only major city in Sweden with the Atlantic Ocean at its doorstep and naturally, it is an important trade and fishing town. - A Festive Ending
E8Episode 8A Festive EndingIn the season finale of My Swedish Kitchen, I host my own Crayfish Party! It’s one of my favourite celebrations and is the highlight of the Swedish calendar. It’s all about family, friends, singing, drinking schnapps and eating crayfish soup. I learn how to fish for crayfish and how to prepare my catch – the Swedish way – by boiling them in dill and eating them cold.
