Organic Cooking
– buy, cook and eat healthy, local, organic foods. With this issue “Organic Cooking� we hope to inspire you to cook with ingredients that have been cultivated with cleaner resources and less maintenance. All recipes in this magazine are based on organic products and products that requires fewer resources to produce. Most people readily associate green cuisine with cooking vegan or vegetarian foods, but to us and many others, green cooking is more about cooking in a sustainable and socially responsible manner. Organic foods are free from man-made chemicals, poisons, and pesticides. So when you eat organic, you are supporting not just your own health, but that of the eco-systems aswell. By supporting organic farming we create awareness in our community about the health- and social benefits of green cuisine. Cultivating vegetables requires fewer resources on average than producing meat, which requires immense amounts of water, grass, land, and labour. So, consuming organic and/or fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, grains and water every day is the best advantage that you can give your body, your family and our planet.
Happy reading & cooking! /ZAKKA - sweet design of Scandinavia

Tea time!
Now, as the sun finally makes an appearance up here in the north the craving for something sweet, is greater than ever. A little coffee break at least a couple times a day is a must for an inveterate northerner. An early brunch or a relaxing afternoon tea works also very well in our calendar, maybe in the harbor, or just around the table in someones sweet kitchen...? Here we present a menu of wonderful freshly baked scones, which we top with clotted cream, berries of the season, strawberries and other treats. On the beverage side, we have replaced the classic tea with a chai latte and a healthy raspberry smoothie. Enjoy!

How to Build a Mason Bee House Bee houses provide cover and a place to breed and they are easy and fun to make. The mason bee is a wonderful little creature. Mason bee is a common name for species of bees in the genus Osmia, of the family Megachilida e. It is named after its habit of making compartments of mud in its wooden block nests. It does not dril l holes and destroy wooden items like other bees, it uses holes that are already available. They lay thei r eggs one at a time with a supply of pollen or nectar and a plug of mud between them. Mason bees like to be off the ground, so fix their house to a tree or post. They prefer direct sunlight too, unlike bumblebees. When you attach your bee house, make sure to point the entrance downwards so that rain does not get in.

Bee House Instructions With drill bits of various sizes (*8 mm works best for Mason bees) simply take some scrap lumber (DO NOT use treated wood) and drill holes *75 to 125 mm deep, but not all the way through the wood block. For example, get a *100 by 100 mm piece of wood and drill holes that are *85 mm deep. You can cover the holes with chicken wire to help keep birds away from the bee house. Securely place the bee house on the south side of buildings, fence posts, or trees. DO NOT move bee houses after they are in place until at least November. * 1 inch = 25 mm

Then cut it in two. Spread on the butter generously on both halves of each of the subs. Add a moderate amount of rocket leaves, half the amount of a thinly sliced pear on each and a few pieces goat cheese.

Cooking GREEN As an eco-minded consumer, it is easy to focus on the big money items like buying green appliances or building a green kitchen. But it is the small things we do every day that have the biggest impact on the environment. That is why cooking green is such an important decision. It begins with how you cook!
Here are some tips to start cooking green: • To boil water, use an electric water boiler instead of the stove. It uses less energy. • Put the lid on the skillet, it will reduce the time by half.
• Eat more raw foods. Veggies, salads and fruits require no cooking at all.
• Use flat-bottomed pans to maximize the heat transmission.
• Do not use large pots to cook small meals.
• Turn of the heat just before you are done cooking. The residual heat will finish the job.
• Make thinner slices and the food will cook faster.
• Leftovers take less energy to reheat. So, make enough for another meal. • One-pot recipes, such as stews or casseroles, use less energy to cook and less energy to clean up. For
Sida 22
extra scores, store leftovers in the same pot if possible.
• Defrost your freezer and refrige rator periodically. Thaw frozen food in the fridge. • Older, more than 10 years old, appliances especially freezers and refrigerators often use up a lot more energy than modern ones.

500 g pitted cherries (fresh, frozen or canned) 2 dl unrefined sugar 2 tsp of vanilla sugar 1 dl cornstarch 2 tbsp of lemon juice
Flaky Pie Crust
8 dl of flour 3-4 tablespoons of unrefined sugar 1/2 teaspoon of salt 150 g of butter (chilled and sliced) 50 g of Coconut Oil (chilled) 4-5 tablespoons of Ice Water Muffin liners Muffin pan 1 lemon 1 egg, organic and free range 1 tbsp of water

To do the pie crust:
Mix the dry ingredients into a medium size bowl and add chilled butter and coconut oil. Blend the mix with a pastry blender or fork until it is crumbly. Stir down icecold water and knead a few times. Mold the dough into a disc, wrap it in cling foil and place it in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes or more. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles.

Save some extra dough to roll out if necessary and cut crusts for the top. Add two tablespoons of filling to each crust. Grate a little lemon zest over the filling and top with decorative shapes cut out of the pie crust. Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl and lightly brush each crust with the mixture. Bake the pies for about 30 minutes. Tent the pan loosely with aluminum foil if the crusts are browning too quickly. Serve with a large scoop of creamy organic vanilla ice cream and som fresh berries.

DIY Summer Popsicles Things You Need:
Fruit drinks, we chose organic pear and strawberry flavour Fruit and berries, we used kiwis and blueberries Popsicle moulds Wooden ice cream sticks
Things to do:
Fill the moulds with the fruit drink about 3/4 full and then add the fruit and, or the berries. Place them in the freezer for about one hour or until the popsicles are frozen enough for you to insert a stick in each mould. Leave in freezer for several hours or overnight. To easily get the popsicles out of the form, pour hot water around the mould. DONE!

Melt butter and allow to sit and cool slightly while you combine the other ingredients. Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir with a wire whisk to combine, breaking up any extra-large clumps of brown sugar as you go. Combine wet ingredients in a small bowl (including melted butter), adding vinegar last. Stir quickly to combine and add to dry mixture, stir until the wet and dry ingredients come together. Bake for 15-17 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool on wire rack. Make the raspberry topping by mixing the raspberries well with hand blender or food processor. Pass them through a sieve to get completely smooth. Whisk together the raspberry puree, cream cheese and icing sugar in a bowl, preferably with an electric mixer. Add the whipped cream a little at a time. Continue whisking for a fluffy topping. Pipe or spread the topping on the cupcake and garnish with some fresh raspberries.

This is the fist issue of our fully digital and ad-free food & lifestyle magazine with ECO friendly living & recycling as a motto...
What is ZAKKA? “Zakka” is Japanese and can be best explained as an expression for ”many things”. It is a fashion and design phenomenon that has spread from Japan throughout Asia and the term refers to everything and nothing that improves your home, life and appearance. Inspired by the utensils from the West, often regarded as kitsch in their home countries and with a keen interest in Nordic and Scandinavian design, old or new, we want with this magazine make ”Zakka” into a familiar expression, in our northern part of the world as well. Zakka can also be described as the ”art to see the practical and usable in the ordinary and mundane.” So, welcome to the first Scandinavian Zakka inspired digital magazine. We hope you enjoyed your reading! /Diana Ortscheid Zakka - sweet design of Scandinavia Sida 54
