# Smalhans is chef: An interview with Hans-Peter Lindstrøm (pt. 5)
On the fifth day of Electronic Beats' ["Smalhans is chef"][1] interview
series with **Hans-Peter Lindstrøm**, we're serving up a seasonal dish
called "Fāār-i-kāāl" as we continue our track-by-track breakdown
of Lindstrøm's latest album *Smalhans*. Don't forget to check
out [all][2] [four][3] [previous][4] [episodes][5] if this is your first
encounter with our kitchen-centred interview column.
**You've already mentioned that you tend to finish your meal and eat
everything [rather than throwing away food][5], and also that some food
is even better [when being warmed over][3]. This is also true for
[Fårikål][6]{: target="_blank"}, it's said to be even better the next
day.**
That's true! I really like this kind of food. A lot of food needs to be
eaten right after you've prepared it. Vegetables need to be fresh and
crisp, but boiling meat or carrots for a long time makes them even
better. It's very convenient when you have a busy schedule and can't
spend hours and hours on cooking when you come home. Fårikål is pretty
good when you need food fast---of course you have to prepare it
beforehand.
**Fårikål is a kind of stew? Is it a seasonal dish or do you eat it all
year long?**
No, we only have it during the fall and winter time. It's a very
traditional lamb dish, probably not so common in the rest of the world.
And it's so [easy to prepare][7]{: target="_blank"}: you take lamb and
cabbage and boil it with water and whole pepper corns---that's it.
*"[Smalhans is chef][1]" continues: the final episode of our
kitchen-centred interview series with Lindstrøm will follow on Friday.*
