It sounds like the makings of great television, and sure enough it garnered attention, and he was invited on BBC’s morning show the next day. Of course, the fires were not of his making, it was four contestants in the semifinal of Masterchef UK battling it out over birchwood in his eponymous Stureplan restaurant, but it was the first time the Brits got acquainted with our dear open-fire cooking TV personality. Now he’s a bit of a name over there as well and the hope is that his new tv show Four Hands Menu, based on his very own idea, will attract international attention too. We met up with Niklas and in our interview he talks about the things he really would have wanted to have checked off his bucket list before turning 40, focussing on getting a second star for his restaurant Ekstedt and how hard it is to change gear from being young and promising to being the one who’s supposed to elevate the next generation. But what else is cooking in this wintery edition of Totally Stockholm you ask? Well, Arvida Byström, that’s what. The photographer opened her exhibition at Fotografiska this month and allows us to follow her exploratory thoughts on femininity, identity and gender norms through her revealing and challenging photographs, where she questions prevailing norms, such as the sexualisation of the body.
