I had no idea it could be so much delicate work. I'm curious about what a dinner like that would cost?

Very delicate work. And very many hours a week to do it. And if memory serves, this menu would set you back about 2000SEK/$200.

That's...kind of crazy. 😏

Can't really argue with you there. And some fine dining restaurants get plenty more expensive than that. But it was a very special experience. Though I don't think it's a kind of cooking I'd do again in the future.

I did enjoy reading about the process. So meticulous! Like creating art.

I’m exhausted just reading it! If I ever get a chance to dine at a Michelin restaurant I’ll probably be more enchanted by the staff than the food thanks to this article. Thank you for the peek behind the curtain.

Thanks so much, Deb. It really is an amazing experience being a part of making that kind of food. I'm not sure if I'd do it again though. Thanks for reading!!

This is already great, with numerous knockout lines, and I’ve only just read a sliver of it. Must get coffee and done some work. I shall return.

For a moment I think I was there deep frying. Loved this.

Mate, thanks so much. I wasn't sure if this would be very boring detail to read or of at least some interest. It was fun to reminisce about at least.
