Elias Karroum’s Hedvig Embraces Classic Swedish Comfort Food

After years of domination by New Nordic cuisine and sharing plates celebrating hyper-seasonal produce, Elias Karroum's latest project, Hedvig, brings the Stockholm dining scene back to its roots: Serving traditional Swedish favorites like pork with onion sauce, meatballs with creamy mash, kroppkakor (potato dumplings), herring, and toast Skagen, it prides itself on the famliar flavors locals have enjoyed since childhood. It's refreshing to see Karroum reintroduce Stockholm to husmanskost — food that is honest, hearty, and comforting.
