Pizza, anyone?

Would you have pizza made by a Chinese (?) chef who has a cracked face (and skull), is wearing lipstick and whose left arm is badly mangled, probably in some horrible pizza-related accident?

I thought so. I just wish I had included this charming gentleman in our book.

New stock in for 2010

The Kasper Stromman Exclusive Webshop is happy to announce the arrival of some new, exciting and expensive items for 2010. We have also done a thorough inventory of all old stock and raised the price of everything, sometimes as much as thousands of euros.

The Kasper Stromman Exclusive Webshop is once again open for business.

Remember: It is not the name of Kasper Stromman that makes the webshop good, but rather the webshop and its excellence which makes the name supreme.

I'd rather be fishing

I'm a big fan of outsider artwork; this one was for sale at
flea market in Tattarisuo, Helsinki. I'm especially intrigued
by the physique of the little fellow in the boat since he doesn't
seem to have a body at all. Or maybe there's a hole in the bottom
of the boat and he's actually walking on the sea floor?

Best cookbook cover in Finland

The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards has awarded
The King Nosmo Cookbook the title “Best Cookbook in Finland”.

Kasper is very pleased with the award – and even more pleased that noone else from Finland seems to have sent in their own cookbooks.

The King Nosmo Cookbook was published earlier this year by Napa Books, and is available to browse through at www.kingnosmo.com.

Open letter to Santa

Dear Santa, this year I have only one wish. It's Kasper's new book about a wolf that wanted to become famous.

I do realize it's been previously published in black and white, but Santa, come on, black and white? It was only tiny in its A5 format as well, so this is definitely the one to own.

Yes Santa, it's in Swedish, but so what? I will only be looking at the brilliant, lush pictures anyhow. Especially as the artistic standard is so outstanding.

Santa, you know I have been good all year, so should we say it's a deal then? That's what I thought.

Oh, and can I have a pony as well?

Okay, never mind the pony, the book will do just fine. Thanks Santa, you're the best!

PS. In case your little helpers are really busy it's available in quality bookshops as well. Or why not head directly to the Napa Gallery, I know they have other nice stuff too!
