editor’s LETTER

hristmas and New Year is coming up and here in Sweden, the first snow had already fallen. This year it came both early and big. The snow cover is about half a meter thick around the house where I live. It’s as it should be around Christmas time. However, it also puts everyday life to the test as train derails, cars get stuck, sidewalks disappear, flights are cancelled and messenger’s car with supplies are running late or not showing up at all. Not surprisingly the snowstorm affected even me and the work with Fine Decors Christmas edition. After some delays and some rearrangement, our special issue on Christmas & New Year is finally ready!

This issue differs from the previous ones. It’s shorter and focuses entirely on Christmas and New Year. Interviews, fashion, jewelry, beauty and travel pieces are not included in this Christmas-issue, but will of course be back in our February issue in 2013. The content in this issue focus entirely on Christmas decorating tips, DIY projects, and some seasonal dishes. If you plan to invite to a New Year’s party this year, do not miss our great story about New Year’s Eve. We will advice on everything; how to make the finest decorations, how to set the table beautifully and how to easily cook a three-course dinner. Most of this issue’s DIY projects are without instructions, it may sounds strange. Of course you should be able to see how we did it. So where instructions are missing, a date indicates when the instructions will be presented on our new blog; blog.finedecor.se, so keep on eye out for that! I would also like to thank all of you for the past year. It has been rewarding, inspiring and incredibly fun! I have deliberately produced slightly different content in the magazine during this year. Issue 3 (July/August) had more focus on interior design and decoration, while Issue 4 (October/November) more focused on interviews. Number of readers also differ between these two issues, and based on that, I have taken the decision on how the contents of the upcoming issues for 2013 will look like. The magazine will still feature inspiring interviews but will also feature style & fashion, beauty, travel and food. Decoration and Interior will take more space in the magazine, which many of you readers have requested! During 2013, Fine Decor Magazine will be releasing eight issues including two special editions; one wedding special and one Christmas & New Year’s special. The first 2013 issue will be released in February 2013. You can read more about some of the content on page 64. Only one thing remains and that is to wish all of you a pleasant reading and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

y FINE DECOR MAGAZINE

TOAST SKAGEN Toast Skagen is one of the most common starters in Sweden. The base is hand-peeled shrimp mixed with mayonnaise, served with buttered toast.. 8 -10 people TOAST SKAGEN 800 g shrimp 0.6 - 0.8 cups sour cream 0.6 - 0.8 cups mayonnaise roe or caviar lemon dill pepper salt ev. horseradish white bread

HOW TO DO IT: 1. Peel the prawns. 2. Mix together mayonnaise and sour cream in a separate bowl. 3. Stir in fish roe and sliced dill (save some for garnish). 4. Mix the mayonnaise mixture with the prawns. Do not take it all at once, but take a little at a time until you get the right consistency of mayonnaise mix. It should be pretty solid

5. Season then with salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon to taste, and perhaps a little grated horseradish. 6. Fry the slices of bread with plenty of butter. We chose to do little bits, croutons. 7. Ad a large dollop of mayonnaise mix in the middle of the plate. Place the bread pieces around. Squeeze some lemon and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Finish with a slice of lemon on top.

HOW TO DO IT: Do 5. and 6. first. The balsamic sauce will be fine to warm up just before serving. 1. Brown the meat all around over high heat. Season with salt and pepper. 2. Roast in the oven at 175-200 degrees Celsius. For the beef to be rare, the inside temperature of the roast should be around 60 degrees Celsius. For medium, the inside temperature of the roast should be up to 65 degrees Celsius. Let the meat rest outside the oven for a while before serving. Use a meat thermometer. 3. Boil the potatoes while grate the parmesan cheese. 4. Mash the potatoes and mix in the cream, butter and cheese. Use a hand blender and mmix into a smooth puree. 5. Rinse the arugula salad and drain. Save a few whole leaves for garnish. Mix to fine consistence with a hand blender. Squeeze out the liquid. Mix a few tablespoons yoghurt and season with honey and salt. Place in the refrigerator. 6. Melt the sugar in a saucepan. Then pour in the wine, vinegar and stock. Let simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch to thicken the sauce. All of this is possible to do in advance. When you later heat the sauce before serving, add some butter.
