"When it's time to start the smoking process, we wet juniper and also moisten the alder shavings. We put plenty of wood on the embers that have dried up the fish so that the flames flare up. These are quickly suffocated when we add enris and alder shavings. Then a thick white smoke forms which smells wonderful in my nose.”

"There are people and then there are people. I don't differentiate between anyone, as I do between herring and herring, but some people are surrounded by a light that
is very positive and charged. By charged, I mean that these people do not drain you, but you are filled with joy and energy after meeting them.
I have been blessed to know a whole bunch of just such people and now want to say that you who are sitting with this book in your lap are incredibly lucky, because you will get to meet some of them in this story about schnapps."
