Grandma's magic: cook, taste, remember
Göteborg
My mother — the grandmother of my children — is the inspiration behind Grandma's Delicatessen.
In our home, food was always more than food — an act of love, filled with warmth, curiosity and care. I grew up with pickled vegetables, slow cooker and bell pepper ears — plant-based dishes that have been commonplace with us for generations, long before words like vegetarian or vegan existed, and which today find homes with foodies and plant-based enthusiasts alike.
When I started Grandmor's Delikatesser, I wanted to carry these flavors forward with sustainability in focus. I grow my own, use garden fruit and adapt the recipes according to Swedish ingredients. It's not about recreating, it's about continuing a tradition with the heart of the present.
During the conversation, I share the story of the food, the heritage and the company — and offer tastings of some of our classics.
Afterwards we will hold a workshop where you will try to cook some of our favorite dishes including banitza, or burek as it is also called, Bulgaria's favorite salad Shopska, deep-fried zuccini plates, Snejanka- tzatziki our way. And more. We end the evening together by eating what we have prepared, like a small Balkan feast with a lot of taste and warmth.
Welcome to a tasting experience with Maia Maksimova, Grandma's Delicatessen. With roots in the Balkans and the heart of the present.
