ÄKTA SYLT (Pure Jam)

This is a really interested project I've been involved with called ÄKTA SYLT (Pure Jam). The keywords are no additives just pure ingredients (like fruit and sugar), transparency, handicraft and personality. I like that you can read a personal story of the craftsman/woman.

School Feeding Programme


At the moment UNA-Sweden has two major fund-raising campaigns. One is Adopt-a-Minefield which aims to increase public awareness against the use of landmines and to raise money for UN mine clearance work. The Swedish branch of the campaign focuses on mine action in Cambodia and Ethiopia.

The second campaign is carried out in cooperation with the WFP School Feeding Programme. The idea is to offer poor children free lunch at school, something which has several positive effects for the children themselves as well as for their families, communities and countries. The Swedish school feeding campaign cooperates with well-known Swedish restaurants and the coffee shop Barista Fair Trade Coffee. Both campaigns have enrolled famous Swedish entertainers, media representatives and sport stars as ambassadors.

The Swedish chefs Erik Lallerstedt (Eriks Gondolen) and Fredrik Eriksson (Långbro Värdshus) are two of the chefs that are involved in The Swedish school feeding campaign.

Goodness in Helsingborg

If you are visiting the south part of Sweden, please visit Helsingborg. It's really a culinary city. Lots of nice stores, restaurants and close to Denmark/Copenhagen (NOMA, T-magi, Peter Bier etc). This time I found a perfect little store called Goodness. Here you are able to buy organic and fairtrade foodproducts, nice healthy drinks and lots of nice presents. More coming up next week!








I also found The Organic Guide Skåne /Eko Skåne.
