At Båsenberga, there is one thing that is always changing – and that is exactly how we want it.
The nature around us never stands still. Vegetables grow, herbs reach their best flavor, berries ripen in the forest and the seasons leave their mark on the landscape. It therefore feels natural for us to let the menus follow the same rhythm.
We do not see the seasons as a limitation, but as one of our greatest sources of inspiration.
When the raw material decides
Many restaurants start with a ready-made menu and then look for ingredients that fit in. We often work the opposite way.
When the first asparagus peeks out of the ground, when the tomatoes reach their peak or when autumn mushrooms start to appear, we know it's time to let the menus change.
It is the raw material that shows the way.
A pantry outside the kitchen door
We usually talk about the pantry we live in.
For us, it's all about the things around us. Gardens, farms, producers , lakes and forests. That's where many of the ideas for our menus are born.
Sometimes it starts with a vegetable from the garden. Sometimes with a conversation with a local producer. Sometimes with a walk through the forest.
The location we operate in influences the food we cook every day.
This is why you will rarely eat the same dinner twice
Our menus change continuously throughout the year.
This means that anyone who visits us in June will have a different experience than someone who comes in the fall or in the middle of winter. The flavors, ingredients and expression change along with nature.
It's also what makes cooking so fun.
Every season offers new opportunities.
Food that tells you where it comes from
We believe that food tastes better when it has a clear connection to the place where it is served.
When our guests sit down with us, we want them to feel something of Sörmland on their plate. Not just through the ingredients, but through the stories, people and landscape that surround us.
That's why our menus keep changing.
Not because they have to.
But because the nature around us does it.
