Michelin chefs cook ground beef

Swedish meatballs

First up, Swedish-born chef Emma Bengtsson from New York's Aquavit shares the love for one of Sweden's favourite food exports - the classic Swedish meatball served with mashed potatoes and lingonberries. The recipe uses a mix of ground beef and pork, but stick to beef only if you want to keep it leaner!
