Almost everyone remembers flavors and meals that have left a lasting impression at some point in their lives. This is what Marloes Öhrnell from Örsundsbro has embraced in her business taste Memories. She is driven by a great passion for everything related to historical recipes, which she collects, samples and presents. If you are curious about old food traditions and want to experience food from the past, just start botanizing among the recipes! Maybe you'll fall in love with the Tuesday soup sluring or a majestic caramel cake from Hovdala Castle?
Launched in summer 2025 Global Food Culture in Sweden, a cookbook that is the result of a project funded by the Swedish Board of Agriculture. 2023 started the Smakminnen project Global Food Culture, which aims to preserve and highlight old food traditions that have come to Sweden with food enthusiasts from around the world. Another aim is to bring together people born outside Sweden and local food producers, such as farmers and food artisans. The book, with 58 recipes from 28 countries, is available in all major online bookstores.
Two events were organized as part of the project. The first was held in 2024 at Kulturen in Lund during the Culture Night, with a market and lectures. The second took place in the spring of 2025 at the Historical Museum in Stockholm, where several members of Fjärdhundraland participated and exhibited their products at a well-attended market.
