A Taste of Sweden with Ett Hem’s Tortellini Recipe

One of our favorite parts of staying at Stockholm's Ett Hem is the unlimited access to the kitchen: late night snack? No problem. Second breakfast? On its way! Last week, in partnership with Visit Sweden, the Indagare Global Classroom took us there on a virtual visit, with the hotel’s executive chef Jacob Ker Lamb sharing his philosophy of cooking with clean, light and vibrant foods—and always from a place of generosity.

During the cooking class, we learned how to make one of Ker Lamb’s favorite summer dishes: housemade tortellini with goat's milk ricotta in a tomato consommé with fresh herbs and raspberries. See below for his recipe to get a taste of Ett Hem—and Sweden—in your own kitchen.
