<\/iframe><\/p>\nAutumn equinox BBQ 2020 along the Swedish west coast, Sweden.<\/em> Text Photo & Video \u00a9 D Neikter Nilsson; JE Nilsson & CM Cordeiro 2020<\/span><\/p>\nOur family had the most amazing Bistecca alla Fiorentina experience in 2008 when in Florence, Italy, courtesy of a good friend who had recommended and booked a table for us at the restaurant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmariec.com\/?p=475\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">4Leoni<\/a>. Located between Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti, in one of the historical pizzas of the region\u00b4s capital city, Piazza della Passera, the interior of the restaurant is fairly small, but utterly cozy. It was a double birthday celebration night, and it seemed the full moon was out to greet and celebrate with us in Florence, standing perfectly centre over Ponte Vecchio as we walked by. I remember the food and service at 4Leoni to have been excellent. Our steak arrived grilled to perfection, carved and served with skilled hands. The recommended accompanying wine was just heavenly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSince our remarkable visit to 4Leoni, we\u00b4ve tried our best to have a little bit of Florentine experience in our steaks when at home in Sweden. There are many barbecue and grilling bibles you can find on the internet that recommend plenty of cooking techniques, all very usable depending on personal style and preference. User guides to the perfect Bistecca alla Fiorentina recommend getting a T-bone cut of meat around 2 inches thick, and dry aged for about 4 weeks. The meat is traditionally from the Italian Chianina cattle breed, one of the oldest draught bred cattles in the world that is today bred for meat. In Scandinavia, the Nordic Angus is closer from farm to fork, and it is the Nordic Angus that we have on the grill here in celebration of the Autumn equinox 2020.<\/p>\nBistecca alla Fiorentina usually uses a cooking method that requires little but salt, olive oil and heat to the meat. The manner of grilling and presenting the steak thus puts the quality of the meat in focus. What the cattle was fed, how it was farm raised and how well it was treated translates to its meat appearance at the table, from colour, odour, texture, tenderness, juiciness and flavour (sans spices and oils). A cow that grew up on a regenerative farm, feeding on its favourite grass, makes a gourmet farm to fork experience with little cooking efforts.<\/p>\nThe lack of cooking efforts on our part, attributed to quality Nordic Angus meat was however playfully challenged by some autumnal elements.<\/p>\nAutumn is a season of harvest, when the colours of nature turn into beautiful golden hues of yellow and sunset orange. These colour changes in nature are also accompanied by strong winds, particularly along the Swedish west coast. Apart from the usual loosely moored boats often found adrift at sea after stormy evenings, neighbours have been known to lose their tool sheds and even whole balconies to the winds during this time of year. But we thought, what better time than to attempt a barbeque against the seasonal high winds as a celebration of the autumn equinox?<\/p>\nSo after giving the meat a light salting and baking in the oven, we set out to have the steak seared on the barbeque. The short video shows the highlights of that event. We had tomatoes on the grill too, to accompany the baked root vegetable pan of potatoes, carrots and leeks.<\/p>\nDinner was fantastic.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

in the vibrant city of Singapore with a unique Eurasian blend of Portuguese and Chinese heritage, my journey has taken me from the bustling streets of Singapore to the serene and open landscapes of Sweden. My educational pursuits in Singapore culminated at tertiary level with two separate Master degrees, after which I embarked on a new adventure in 2002, moving to Sweden. In Sweden, I pursued with deep interest, the knowledge field of applied linguistics, particularly corpus linguistics research methods, earning a doctoral degree from one of northern Europe\u2019s largest universities, the University of Gothenburg. I currently work as Project Manager, focusing on EU and international projects, at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, at the Division of Bioeconomy and Health, Department of Agriculture and Food. My office is located in M\u00f6lndal municipality. M\u00f6lndal, known also as the Valley of Mills, is located about ten minutes by bus ride from the city center of Gothenburg to the south. If you\u2019re ever traveling south from Gothenburg to Malm\u00f6, whether by train or car, you will likely come by M\u00f6lndal municipality. In these pages at cmariec.com, you\u2019ll find my lifestyle musings on culinary and travel adventures from Singapore to Sweden, and from when I lived and worked the Arctic City of Troms\u00f8 (2018 to mid-2022). SINGAPORE | SWEDEN | NORTHERN NORWAY Life in Singapore Pursued all academic interests in Singapore, of which the post-graduate years were founded in two separate disciplines. In 2000, graduated with two separate Masters Degrees: (i) Master of Science in Information Studies at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore (ii) Master of Arts in the English Language at the National University of Singapore (NUS). In 1999, represented the Republic of Singapore at the Miss Universe Pageant in Trinidad and Tobago. With this came a variety of film, educational TV, media, and ambassadorial work for the Singapore Tourism Board. Life in Sweden In 2002, moved from Singapore to Sweden in order to pursue a PhD in Gothenburg, where a number of international corporate head offices were located that all had a substantial business presence in Singapore and also Asia in general. In 2009, graduated with a PhD in applied critical linguistics from the faculty of humanities at the University of Gothenburg, with a cross-disciplinary thesis entitled, Swedish management in Singapore: a discourse analysis study, looking particularly into the concepts of assimilation, integration and hierarchy, at top management levels of Swedish-Asian corporations in Singapore. 2013, as research fellow at the Centre for International Business Studies (CIBS), School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, researching the future implications of increasing Asian-Swedish cooperation within the field of international business. The project is entitled Gothenburg in Asia, Asia in Gothenburg, funded by the Anna Ahrenberg Foundation. The project is aligned with the 400 years anniversary of the city of Gothenburg in 2021, and falls under the broad category of Kunskap G\u00f6teborg 2021 initiated by city representatives of Gothenburg, G\u00f6teborg & Co, University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. 2015, was granted the Flexit post-doctoral scholarship by Bank of Sweden Tercentennary Foundation (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, RJ) for a three year project together with the Swedish-Swiss multinational enterprise ABB. From 2015-17, the research will take place at ABB Corporate Research Sweden HQ in V\u00e4ster\u00e5s, and at CIBS during 2017-18. The research focus of the project is how new technologies are perceived and accepted by users and customers, using linguistic methods of data analysis. More information can be found at RJ\u2019s website, at Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ) Felxit 2015. Life in Northern Norway (2018-2022) 2018, late summer. I acquired new work as Market Scientist at Nofima. Having moved to the county of Troms in August, I\u2019m currently enjoying myself, exploring the island city of Troms\u00f8. From the 1900s, this city became known as Paris of the North due to how the people of Troms\u00f8 were exceptionally stylish and sophisticated in contrast to the fishing village preconception that many might have of a city located in the Arctic Circle. In my years in Sweden, I have known Sweden to be called the land of the midnight sun. During the long summer mights, it was beautiful to sit and watch the sun\u2019s languid pendulation between east and west, touching the horizon out at sea before going up again. Northern Norway takes this languid pendulation of the sun to the extreme. It is not only known as the land of the midnight sun, but it is also the land of polar nights and the northern lights.

My educational pursuits in Singapore culminated at tertiary level with two separate Master degrees, after which I embarked on a new adventure in 2002, moving to Sweden. In Sweden, I pursued with deep interest, the knowledge field of applied linguistics, particularly corpus linguistics research methods, earning a doctoral degree from one of northern Europe\u2019s largest universities, the University of Gothenburg. I currently work as Project Manager, focusing on EU and international projects, at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, at the Division of Bioeconomy and Health, Department of Agriculture and Food. My office is located in M\u00f6lndal municipality. M\u00f6lndal, known also as the Valley of Mills, is located about ten minutes by bus ride from the city center of Gothenburg to the south. If you\u2019re ever traveling south from Gothenburg to Malm\u00f6, whether by train or car, you will likely come by M\u00f6lndal municipality. In these pages at cmariec.com, you\u2019ll find my lifestyle musings on culinary and travel adventures from Singapore to Sweden, and from when I lived and worked the Arctic City of Troms\u00f8 (2018 to mid-2022). SINGAPORE | SWEDEN | NORTHERN NORWAY Life in Singapore Pursued all academic interests in Singapore, of which the post-graduate years were founded in two separate disciplines. In 2000, graduated with two separate Masters Degrees: (i) Master of Science in Information Studies at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore (ii) Master of Arts in the English Language at the National University of Singapore (NUS). In 1999, represented the Republic of Singapore at the Miss Universe Pageant in Trinidad and Tobago. With this came a variety of film, educational TV, media, and ambassadorial work for the Singapore Tourism Board. Life in Sweden In 2002, moved from Singapore to Sweden in order to pursue a PhD in Gothenburg, where a number of international corporate head offices were located that all had a substantial business presence in Singapore and also Asia in general. In 2009, graduated with a PhD in applied critical linguistics from the faculty of humanities at the University of Gothenburg, with a cross-disciplinary thesis entitled, Swedish management in Singapore: a discourse analysis study, looking particularly into the concepts of assimilation, integration and hierarchy, at top management levels of Swedish-Asian corporations in Singapore. 2013, as research fellow at the Centre for International Business Studies (CIBS), School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, researching the future implications of increasing Asian-Swedish cooperation within the field of international business. The project is entitled Gothenburg in Asia, Asia in Gothenburg, funded by the Anna Ahrenberg Foundation. The project is aligned with the 400 years anniversary of the city of Gothenburg in 2021, and falls under the broad category of Kunskap G\u00f6teborg 2021 initiated by city representatives of Gothenburg, G\u00f6teborg & Co, University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. 2015, was granted the Flexit post-doctoral scholarship by Bank of Sweden Tercentennary Foundation (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, RJ) for a three year project together with the Swedish-Swiss multinational enterprise ABB. From 2015-17, the research will take place at ABB Corporate Research Sweden HQ in V\u00e4ster\u00e5s, and at CIBS during 2017-18. The research focus of the project is how new technologies are perceived and accepted by users and customers, using linguistic methods of data analysis. More information can be found at RJ\u2019s website, at Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ) Felxit 2015. Life in Northern Norway (2018-2022) 2018, late summer. I acquired new work as Market Scientist at Nofima. Having moved to the county of Troms in August, I\u2019m currently enjoying myself, exploring the island city of Troms\u00f8. From the 1900s, this city became known as Paris of the North due to how the people of Troms\u00f8 were exceptionally stylish and sophisticated in contrast to the fishing village preconception that many might have of a city located in the Arctic Circle. In my years in Sweden, I have known Sweden to be called the land of the midnight sun. During the long summer mights, it was beautiful to sit and watch the sun\u2019s languid pendulation between east and west, touching the horizon out at sea before going up again. Northern Norway takes this languid pendulation of the sun to the extreme. It is not only known as the land of the midnight sun, but it is also the land of polar nights and the northern lights. This is my new adventure. And in these lifestyle blog pages, you\u2019ll find my personal thoughts, insights and musings.
