A taste of Sweden - giveaway

There’s all this talk about Fashion Week, and I don’t blame you. But when you think of Fashion Week, which cities spring to mind?

New York, London and Paris, of course. Then maybe Milan and some of the smaller ones…

But have you ever had a look into Stockholm Fashion week in Sweden which took place a couple of weeks ago?

We all know some brands that are typically Swedish, like Björn Borg and H&M, but can you name any other Swedish fashion brands? Did you for example know that Filippa K, Hunkydory, Valerie, J.Lindeberg, House of Dagmar and Cheap Monday are all produce of Sweden?

You can read more about Stockholm Fashion week S/S15 at fashionweek.se

But when it comes to Sweden and shopping for fashion I don’t actually prefer Stockholm. Sure, it’s a big and stylish city, but the west coast of Sweden is a lot more fun and friendly – I’m of course talking about Gothenburg (Göteborg).

Walk around in the popular shopping centres Nordstan and Kompassen for highstreet shops, or wander a bit further up the city centre for more alternative rock and hipster shops. If you’re looking for really unique stuff you want to take a stroll through the old parts of town where you’ll find independent boutiques and old fashioned cafés.

And talking about food – if you’re into seafood, Gothenburg is the place for you! Feskekörka (fish church) is a place for anyone who appreciates fish and seafood, and you can go here to buy fresh pieces to cook yourself, or to enjoy the top class restaurants.

This is just a small guide to anyone who wants to visit my amazing home country for some great shopping and food.

However, if you can’t make it to Sweden and you still want to experience some culinary products, I’ve got a Swedish food kit to give away to one lucky reader. In collaboration with Inntravel and their #MySweden campaign, I’ve put together a kit including typically Swedish food that I as a Swede miss when living in England. It consists of some sweet and some savoury stuff – the chocolate obviously being my favourite ;)

This is what you’ll get:

‘Lösgodis’ (pick and mix sweets)
Guldnougat (nougat bar)
Geisha (chocolate filled with crispy hazelnut nougat)
Marabou Daim (milk chocolate with Daim crisp)

Delicatobollar (chocolate and coconut balls – goes perfect with your tea or coffee)
Annas pepparkakor (THE brand of Swedish ginger bread cookies)
Chokladpudding (chocolate pudding – mix with milk and put in the fridge to set)

O’boy (chocolate drink powder - mix with warm or cold milk)

The savoury stuff

Bearnaise sauce (mix with milk and heat up on the stove – perfect with steak or escalopes)
