I had a great time last night at the Target Harlem Launch Event. It was really exciting to celebrate the opening on 116th Street and see such a great crowd uptown. I did two recipe demos, a summery tomato watermelon salad and sweet chocolate pancakes, while Doug E. Fresh was performing on the main stage. Target launched my kitchen textiles line along with Isabel & Ruben Toledo’s beach wear and Stephen Burrows clothing collection.  They will be available at Target in Harlem on July 25 and at target.com and select stores on August 1.

Just got back from a great trip in Marstrand, a coastal town just outside of my hometown Gothenburg. When I arrived, the Stenna Match Cup boat race, sponsored by the World Childhood Foundation, was in full swing. Marstrand is such a beautiful area in Sweden.

Being there during the boat race was an amazing experience. I got to do a cooking demo on the A More Spicy Africa boat by Santa Maria Spice. Cooking on the water was a lot of fun.

Starting July 25th, Target in Harlem (17 East 117th Street, NY, NY 10035) will be selling dish towels, aprons, place mats and other fun Harlem-inspired kitchen linens from my design collaboration with them.

Can’t make it to Harlem this summer? No worries, they’ll be available in select stores throughout the country and on target.com after August 1st. Other designer collabs are Isabel & Ruben Toledo with a stylish beachwear and Stephen Burrows with a chic clothing collection.

A percentage of sales will go to support local organizations. My line will support Harlem P.S. 180: Hugo Newman.
