EGO friendly

I'm quite smitten with the Danish design brand EGO Together.

Their designs fits perfectly into the Scandinavian minimalist style, which I oh-so adore. Moreover, they are functional as well as eco-friendly.

I have for a while now longingly gazed at the Keep Cool/ Stay Hot serving board:

Just imagine how perfect it would be for serving some Nordic-inspired sushi! (Soon I'll post a recipe for sushi with apple and pomegranate wrapped in cabbage). The insert of African sandstone is pretty cool and goes in the dishwasher. Also, it can be heated in the oven up to 150 degress Celsius or cooled to -20 degrees. However, at fancy stone like this black beauty is a wee bit over my budget these days, so it will have to wait. That said, they are actually not super expensive. Get them at the EGO Together webshop here for 800 DKK. 

The philosophy behind EGO Together is to design objects that enhance the togetherness around the table and are ideally suited for slowfood, which you enjoy at an easy-going pace in good company - just how I like it! 

Perhaps this is why I felt such a need for purchasing this little beauty yesterday:

My current living circumstances are not ideal for lavish dinner parties, and I am longing to invite friends over to an evening of home-made hygge in surroundings that reflect my personality and taste. I can think of many situations where this little tasting board in organic bamboo with three small bowls will come in handy. Tapas - si! Snacks - but of course! And did I mention sweets? Anyway, with this item at hand, I felt one step closer to host dinner parties with my name all over.

Until then, I'll keep dreaming...
