Two kitchens.
One table.

A Swedish-Thai home in Gothenburg, where food, travel and new flavours bring us together.

Our story

Magnus & Lek

We are Magnus and Lek Asterhäll, based in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a shared passion for cooking, travel, photography and discovering new places.

We love exploring the world, experiencing different cultures and capturing beautiful moments through our cameras, and then bringing new flavours home to our own kitchen.

From authentic home cooking to local food experiences on our travels, we believe that great food and new adventures are best enjoyed together.

Asterhäll Kitchen is where we collect it all: recipes tested, adjusted and cooked again until they work in an ordinary home kitchen.

How we work

Our promise

  1. Tested at home

    Every recipe is cooked in our own kitchen, often several times, before it is published.

  2. Honest ingredients

    We explain what matters in the original, and what you can swap.

  3. Step by step

    Clear instructions, so the result is as good in your kitchen as in ours.

Real cooking, honest flavours.
