Smalhans is chef: An interview with Hans-Peter Lindstrøm (pt. 5)
# 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.* [1]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/tag/smalhans/ "ElectronicBeats.net: Smalhans" [2]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/2012/11/11/an-interview-with-hans-peter-lindstroem-pt-1/ "ElectronicBeats.net: Smalhans is chef: An interview with Hans-Peter Lindstrøm (pt. 1)" [3]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/2012/11/12/an-interview-with-hans-peter-lindstroem-pt-2/ "ElectronicBeats.net: Smalhans is chef: An interview with Hans-Peter Lindstrøm (pt. 2)" [4]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/2012/11/13/an-interview-with-hans-peter-lindstroem-pt-3/ [5]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/2012/11/14/an-interview-with-hans-peter-lindstroem-pt-4/ "ElectronicBeats.net: Smalhans is chef: An interview with Hans-Peter Lindstrøm (pt. 4)" [6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A5rik%C3%A5l [7]: http://youtu.be/pw6B76PqdRU "YouTube: Let's cook Faarikaal—Norwegian lamb with cabbage"
