Fried a gazillion meatballs at Winnie's tonight for her Choice Cuts showing of Tillsammans. Felt nostalgic for socialist Sweden. Meatball recipe huge success, from translation of Husmanskonst or The Art of Home Cooking. Will share complicated recipe when I have a moment. But discovered a few things:
1. Deglazing the meatball pan helps the meatballs to not get stuck to the bottom and fall apart.
2. Carola's tårta really requires the tart red currants to balance the sweetness of the custard. If I were to make it with banana again (as I did tonight), I would fold some whipped cream into the custard to cut the sweetness a bit and give it a little more body.
3. The fransk chokladkaka from Rosendals Trädgård's cookbook is a recipe I'll have to post, too. Good with whipped cream, but I miss a crusty top. The search for the perfect recipe continues.
