Frida wants

To create sustainability from the inside, not just from a perspective of consumption but also when it comes to the products. How do we actually take care of the food, and how do we reach its real flavours? That is what the main focus of a chef’s daily work is all about.

Current event – Stjärnorna på slottet on SVT1

New Partner – Kobb

I have long wanted to find a cooperation partner regarding the development of products with seaweed because this fantastic raw material has been close to my heart for many years in my work with Nordic Japanese gastronomy. KOBB’s philosophy is completely in line with my values about sustainability and the sea. Being able to take part in developing products with seaweed in the future will be very exciting.

Frida´s books

Nordisk sushi

Nordic Sushi is a new edition of “Raw Like Sushi” filled with more fun sushi recipes and simplified techniques to be able to cook the perfect sushi rice at home, the book is available for purchase in Sweden and Norway

Food retreat

Smart green recipes based on nutrient dense, vitamin packed vegetables and herbs, sometimes with the addition of seafood. The book contains sections with moderate bowls, sashimi, hot and cold broths, brilliant snacks and smoothies, and sweets that do just fine without unnecessary sugar.

Möjligheternas kokbok

The Hunger Project in collaboration with Frida has produced a cookbook with recipes that are climate-smart, creative and focused on making the most of the raw material. It will inspire you to create food from what is close by and things that are otherwise often thrown away. The income will support the work against hunger and poverty.

Rå som sushi

Rå som sushi is a fish and shellfish focused cookbook where you don’t just find recepies but also various techniques on how to prepare fish. It has all the traditional recepies, but also modern variants in a very relaxed way.

Kockarnas kamp

Frida took part in the chefs competition ”Kockarnas Kamp” at TV 4 in 2021. She became nr 3 and took a bronze medal in the competition. You can see the show at TV 4 play.

Sundqvist

I work with Japanese knives from Yaxell. The brand has its origins in Seki, the knife-center of Japan. Extreme sharpness in combination with Damascus-steel makes them very popular. And my life as a chef a lot easier and sharper.

MSC ambassador 2018-2021 – Sweden

To be able to make the right choices when cooking, I need to know the products origin, that the fish is caught in a sustainable way. Certifications like MSC makes my life as a chef easier and it makes a big difference. Just to choose a certification that you believe in can inspire people to make a difference.
