Fresh caught shellfish
Winter is Here, Which Means Shellfish Season is Upon Us. It's the perfect time to hunt for crabs, clams and oysters….The winter is their chance to fatten up again. Oysters, in particular, are at their peak during the coldest months of the year. You don’t need more than a torch and fast reflexes to catch brown crabs – the last thing many a brown crab sees is a flash and a shooting hand. But you have to be quick about it: after a second or two, the crab realises what is going on and will use its claws to pinch with all its strength, and it won’t let go easily. Thus catching crabs not only provides a delicious meal, it also involves an adrenaline kick. Seafood from Norway >>>
Lobster
Norway lobster has a sweet, mild taste and the meat is firm and white. The meat in the claws, head and tail is excellent. It can be grilled, steamed or pan-fried, and is ideal mixed with other shellfish, such as shrimps and king crab, in dishes like casseroles and soups. You can also serve it grilled with scallops as a warm salad, with clams and spaghetti, or roasted with garlic, lemon and fresh herbs. Sautéed Norway lobster with garlic, onions and white wine is also a guaranteed favourite. Seafood from Norway >>>
Azienda Agricola Chiappini
The agricultural enterprise Chiappini is in the heart of the DOC Bolgheri at Via Bolgherese, the road where the most important wine estates of the Bolgheri region are located.
Bolgheri
The best olive oil companies in the world, the bible of extra virgin olive oil, are located right on the winding road that connects the village of Bolgheri to Castagneto Carducci.
The family Chiappini
The story of this farm tells us about the consistently renewed family tradition of the head of the family, Giovanni Chiappini, son of farmers that had moved from Marche to the Bolgheri region in the fifties. This tradition was inherited by the two daughters Martina and Lisa who assist their father in the estate. The particular difference in the work and the growth of the Chiappini family is found in their special connection to the land , interpreted as mother earth and cultivated in a symbiosis with the working power. An alliance at all times vital and never detrimental. giovannichiappini.it

honey from åna-sira bees
Honey bees are super-important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow! Bees transfer pollen between the male and female parts, allowing plants to grow seeds and fruit. Honey bees live in hives (or colonies). The members of the hive are divided into three types:
Queen: One queen runs the whole hive. Her job is to lay the eggs that will spawn the hive’s next generation of bees. The queen also produces chemicals that guide the behaviour of the other bees.
Workers: These are all female and their roles are to forage for food (pollen and nectar from flowers), build and protect the hive, clean and circulate air by beating their wings. Workers are the only bees most people ever see flying around outside the hive.
Drones: These are the male bees, and their purpose is to mate with the new queen. Several hundred live in each hive during the spring and summer. But come winter, when the hive goes into survival mode, the drones are kicked out! (National Geographic)
our heather honey
In our local Joker supermarket you will find local honey A natural product with a taste of Åna-Sira.
Honey production is basically 100 percent sustainable - from the hive until the honey is on the table. The bees must visit over 10 million flowers to get enough raw material for half a kilo of honey.
From grilling to roasting, honey can be used with just about any cooking method, and it can be used in recipes served either hot or cold. Have you tried honey glazed vegetables?
Honey is not only delicious. it is a symbol of living in balance with nature. Welcome to Logbua & Åna-Sira!

Oregano
From our own herb garden.
Oregano is particularly useful in any tomato-based dish. It is perfect for seasoning pasta dishes and most foods that contain olive oil. Oregano is commonly combined with olive oil to create flavorful oregano oil, Italian vinaigrettes, and marinades for lamb, chicken, and beef dishes.
Korean mint
From our own herb garden.
Korean cooks use Korean mint in dishes like maeun-tang, which is a fish stew. It also shows up in some versions of the pancake dish called buchimgae. Korean mint leaves may be consumed raw in salads, though they are coarse and you may need to chop them finely. They are also strong, so add them in moderation so that they don’t overpower other flavors.
You can try using them in the dressing instead of as a salad green. You can use them to make a tea as well; tea is the most common way to consume the herb. You can make Korean mint tea with the fresh or the dried herb. You can use Korean mint in place of other mints for making ice cream and custards, and it works well in some baked goods like cakes and cookies. Use it with lamb or pork just like regular mint or add it to vegetables like carrots and squash.
Salvia sage
From our own herb garden.
Sage goes well with other herbs, and it is used for fish, meat and stuffing. Also feel free to have some sage in the stuffing for the turkey. Sage is widely used in Italian cuisine, including the dish saltimbocca and with pasta and gnocchi. It is not always necessary to chop the leaves, if you grill meat or fish you can put on whole sage leaves.
Vietnamese coriander
From our own herb garden.
Vietnamese coriander is an herb whose leaves are used sparingly in Thai cuisine, although it is indispensable with Lap lu, a Northern Thai dish of raw minced pork, beef or buffalo, and blood, with spices, herbs and leaves. This Southeast Asian native is often used as a coriander substitute in Vietnamese food. It adds a lemony coriander flavor to fresh salads, summer rolls, soups and salads.
