You lodge at the
previous priests quarters built in 1906 in the Swedish county of Jämtland, part of South Lapland.
The turn of the
century manor at the shore of Lake Revsund breathes a serene atmosphere. Outside
the trees are magically developing their beautiful autumn colours. Indoors
the logs are crackling in the fireplace. There are no distractions. Only nature to inspire you, the silence to
provide you with the perfect space to listen to what your own body needs and is
telling you.
Free from
criticasters with their “why no sugar?” All the participants have the same
goal.
Every day we cook
together according to the theme of the day (see details in the daily program
below).
Nutritionist Cecilia Götherström and food connoisseur Stephanie Mazier will
explain the background, the “how´s” and the “why´s” of all the recipes as well
as provide you with practical advice. We will go through all meals and occasions
possible – from breakfast to fingerfoods and all in between.
By the end of the week you will have gone
through the worst symptoms of withdrawal as well as have gathered loads of
practical experience and all the recipes to take home with you.
At the same time you will enjoy Sweden at its best.
On the program we also have visits to local food artisans, a search for eatable
berries and mushrooms, a walk through the forest with our alpaca’s, a Swedish
movie night and more.
For those who wish there is also the possibility
to start every day with a yoga lesson led by Cecilia who is also a certified
yoga teacher.
At the end of the week you will receive a
booklet with all the recipes and articles to take back home.
Cecilia and Stephanie are also working on the
sugar free cook book “Sweet Life At Revsunds Prästgård”, which will be mailed
to you as soon as it has been published.
Day program
In addition to the
activities below, you sure will have some quiet time for yourself to go canoeing,
fishing, hiking on the ancient pilgrims way St. Olavsleden or just sit at the
beautiful lakeside.
Day 1
Travel day , transfer from trainstation
Bräcke/Airport Åre-Östersund to Revsund.
Day 2
The second day in
Revsund you will get to know some of the local food artisans personally. We
will also focus on sugar free fika
(Swedish for coffee or tea with a yummy nibble on the side – usually sweet ;-)
) and snacks. We will as well get an insight in to what sugar does in and to
our bodies, what the withdrawal or sugar detox symptoms can be and how we
handle these in the best way.
Day 3
During day
three, we go into the forest to pick the ultimate natural ingredients: berries and mushrooms. Afterwards we will for sure have enough energy to dive in to
sugar free dinners while getting our hands dirty in the kitchen.
Day 4
The fourth day we
get out of bed on time to prepare a sugar free breakfast / brunch for
ourselves. Which we will enjoy in the most relaxed “Sunday Brunch manner” as we
are listening to a lecture on “Holistic Health” held by Cecilia.
In the afternoon we take it easy , the only
thing set on the schedule is to prepare a lingondricka
of the juice of the berries we picked yesterday.
Day 5
We start the day by preparing a sugar free
lunch. What do you bring to the office?
Then we take a walk with the alpaca’s living
at Revsunds Prästgård. Dealing with these special animals makes you feel
relaxed. We eat our packed lunch near a campfire in the woods.
Day 6
Today we go
“freestyle”.
We head to the
supermarket and challenge you to find surprising and sugar free ingredients for
fingerfoods and snacks. In the evening we have a Swedish movie night scheduled.
We prepare our movie snacks and finger foods together as Cecilia is giving a
lecture on the latest nutritional trends, how to interpret both current and
future trends, cooking creatively with what you find in your fridge. And how does alcohol fit in to a sugar free
lifestyle?
