Välkommen till Matmarknad - Under bar himmel och Södra Sveriges deltävling i utomhusmatlagning!

Vi samlar några av våra favoritmänniskor till en Matmarknad – Under bar himmel i Malmö. Detta ät inte en traditionell matmässa, mer ett stort, nyfiket häng runt maten och elden.

Här möter du människor som verkligen kan sina saker och som gärna delar med sig.

TångTång tar oss ner i havets skafferi. Svampskogen öppnar dörren till skogens. Kryddbuketten kommer från Österlen med ätbara buketter. Hos AlltGott får du mortla och komponera ditt eget smaksatta salt och KitchenLab kommer laddade med nya kryddor och smaker.

BÄRTA pratar fermenterade svenska ärtor och morgondagens mat. Naturkompaniet snackar utrustning, utematlagning och täljning. Och hos Dame Ginette väntar godsaker och mackor som du själv får lägga över elden. Martin Nordin är självklart också på plats som vår egen Light My Fire-matkreatör, med smaker och idéer från Under bar himmel. Projektledaren av Eldprovet - SM i utomhusmatlagning, Daniel Sanjay är talesman under deltävlingen samt håller ett spännande tal om projektet Eldprovet, Åkulla Outdoor Resort och svarar på frågor.

Smaka. Fråga. Testa. Lär. Eller kom bara och häng.

Och så blir det tävling...

För mitt i allt detta ska några människor göra något betydligt mer nervöst.

Matmarknad – Under bar himmel är också scen för Södra Sveriges deltävling i SM i Utomhusmatlagning. Här ska lag göra upp över öppen eld med råvaror, kreativitet, teknik och smak i centrum – och en plats i SM-finalen på spel. Vi har ett domargäng som inte blir helt lätt att imponera på!

Anna Berghe arbetar med mat, måltider och hållbara matlösningar. I juryn bidrar hon med sitt perspektiv på smak, kreativitet och teknik, med särskilt fokus på råvaran och hur den tas tillvara.

Leila Khammari vet exakt hur det känns på andra sidan domarbordet. Hon vann själv en deltävling i SM i Utomhusmatlagning 2022 och tog tillsammans med sin man en andraplats i SM-finalen 2023 som Team Light My Fire.

Sebastian Persson från Saltimporten Canteen kommer med ett rejält råvarufokus, massor av erfarenhet och smaklökar som vi misstänker inte missar särskilt mycket.

Vilket lag hanterar elden bäst? Vem får råvarorna att sjunga? Och vilka tar sig vidare? Det får vi se!

Träffa oss bakom Light My Fire

Vi på Light My Fire är självklart på plats med hela vårt gäng av hangarounds, eldnördar och utematsälskare. Vill du börja från början kan du komma till vår eldskola och lära dig göra upp eld. Du kan poppa popcorn över öppen eld, snacka utemat, testa prylar eller bara häng en stund runt lågorna.

Shoppen är också laddad och produkter som köps under dagen kan graveras på plats och göras alldeles egna.

Vi ses runt elden

Kanske är det just därför intresset för utemat fortsätter att fascinera oss, för det handlar förstås om maten men inte bara. Det handlar om att göra något med händerna. Om att lära sig något nytt. Om doften av rök i kläderna. Om att vänta på glöden istället för att trycka på en knapp. Och framför allt om människorna man delar det med.

Mat smakar helt enkelt lite bättre ute.

Kom hungrig.

Kom nyfiken.

Kom som du är.

MATMARKNAD – UNDER BAR HIMMEL

30 AUGUSTI · KL 10-16 · MEJSELGATAN 3, MALMÖ

The Story of Light My Fire: Forging a Regenerative Future Through Swedish Craftsmanship

The Story of Light My Fire: Forging a Regenerative Future Through Swedish Craftsmanship

Shaped by Nature At Light My Fire, our actions as a company, our designs and our products are all shaped by our relationship to the natural world. Our company’s origins, as well as our path forward, are rooted in our vision for a world where nature and human innovation can coexist within balance: a give-and-take, never-ending dance called reciprocity. The Origins of Light My Fire Our journey began with a simple product: MayaSticks. It all started in 1995 when Calill Odqvist Jagusch’s father, Michael, lost a bet against a neighbor. Using resin-soaked sticks from Guatemala, the neighbor challenged Michael to light a fire faster than she could. It was over before it began: within minutes her fire was burning with a hot flame while his charcoal smoldered under a grey cloud of smoke. Michael spent the next year in Guatemala figuring out how to ship MayaSticks to Sweden, but in a way that would honor and respect the place they came from, and somehow give back to the community and the land. A year later he and Calill found the perfect “match” for MayaSticks in 1997, a magnesium flint and steel fire starter developed for the Swedish Department of Defense that could build a fire in any weather: Together, Swedish FireSteel and MayaSticks built the foundations of our company. These first products exemplified our family business’s core philosophy: simple, effective gear to enjoy under the stars. Today, with Calill at the helm of Light My Fire, the tradition continues, blending the wisdom of past generations with modern innovations that help connect people to nature. Swedish Design Influence Sweden’s vast landscapes and the right to roam free have deeply influenced our design principles. Our Swedish heritage – marked by simplicity, clean design and resourcefulness – is evident in our products, but we also borrow from other cultures that share our values. We look to nature for inspiration and subscribe to a design ethos that prioritizes functionality and responsible use of materials. Our Vision: Living Lightly on the Land One of the priorities we’re committed to is reducing plastic waste and promoting a regenerative economy. Our durable products are designed to replace single-use plastics, creating a shift toward responsible plastic usage. We have a long uphill battle ahead of us but we’re stubborn. This vision is not just about creating responsible products; it's about inspiring a lifestyle that respects and preserves the natural world. Regenerative Leadership and Circular Design Our approach to design and community leadership is rooted in the idea of regeneration and giving back. It’s not about extracting a steady resource from nature; it’s about making goods that last or can be recycled, and finding solutions through collaboration: both for our customers and behind the scenes, starting in Sweden. Our Plates Collection, for instance—a collab with a Swedish industrial designer—are scratch-resistant, dishwasher-safe and aesthetically pleasing to look at and hold; they can be appreciated and used repeatedly while reducing waste and promoting a cycle of reuse. The asymmetrical design, inspired by Eastern aesthetics like wabi-sabi, celebrates imperfection and individuality, qualities we can relate to. A cousin to our Plates Collection is our event-tested BORROW Program, a service and product line that’s designed for businesses, schools, festivals, stadiums and any business or organization looking to reduce their single-use footprint, whether it’s chosen for one-time use or a long-term solution. BORROW products can be sent back to the  factory we work with at end-of-life, where they’re recycled into new products. The thinking is: If we use less resources maybe the earth can begin to heal. The Swedish Kåsa: Embracing Tradition The Swedish Kåsa, inspired by the traditional Sami people, is another product that reflects our commitment to simple and useful design. The rounded curves evolved over time and were eventually found to be an ideal shape that works in nature: balancing equally as well between two rocks as it does in your lap. These cups are not just functional; they are a nod to the time-honored nomadic tradition of living in harmony with nature. Looking Toward the Future As we move forward, while honoring our past and others before us, we remain committed to our vision of a waste-free world. We invite you to join us in this journey, to embrace a life that is in harmony with the rhythms of the earth, and to be part of a community that values reciprocity, good design and the transformative power of nature. We are all shaped by nature.

Make fire

Make fire

Being able to make fire is one of man's most significant discoveries and a prerequisite for the life we live today. The foundation of our civilization rests on our ability to make fire and control that fire. This magical and frightening element gives us endless possibilities all at the same time. There is something about an open fire that will always link us to the reality of our ancestors. When we go into nature and forget about our busy schedules, we feel connected to those who have gone before us. When basic needs such as hunger and fatigue strike, when we freeze or need a moment of peace, the fire is there for us just as it has been for man since time began. How to make a fire? Scientists believe that the first fire ignited by man was nearly 800,000 years ago. The fire had only been a threat of impending danger and natural disasters until then. The first methods of making fire were based entirely on friction. Many of us, as children, tried to act like our ancestors and strike two stones against each other. We sometimes produced a burnt scent; maybe someone even got a lucky spark. Giving yourself the best possible circumstances means everything if you are to succeed in making a fire from scratch. What you will need: A spark. Use matches, a lighter, or FireSteel. Ignition material. Dry pieces of twigs, paper, and cardboard are classic fire starters. Even better, natural resinous firewood like Tindersticks. Wood. Reasonably dry. Knife. Start feeding the fire with fuel when you have a flame on your ignition material. Begin with small sticks, carve if needed, and gradually add larger pieces as the fire grows. Water. We may have mastered fire, but it must be treated with respect. Always have water ready and make sure the fire is completely extinguished before you leave. Make a fire with FireSteel Today, some luxuries have made us forget the basic principle behind fire — friction. These days we light a match or press a lighter, and there it is: fire. However, these tools have limitations, as you may have noticed if you’ve tried to use wet matches or light a flame in windy conditions. In situations like this, a fantastic alternative is a FireSteel. Making a fire with FireSteel is both easy and safe — and also fun. It’s a small investment that can create thousands of sparks. It leaves no debris behind and works in all weather conditions. FireSteel consists of a magnesium rod and a metal striker that creates sparks when scraped together. These sparks are extremely hot — significantly hotter and more durable than those from a lighter or match. Tip! A FireKnife combines a knife and FireSteel in one — a perfect combo for outdoor adventures.

How to Start a Fire with Light My Fire MayaSticks

How to Start a Fire with Light My Fire MayaSticks

Fire is a source of pure energy. It warms our bodies, cooks nourishing food, connects us with others and kindles our sense of belonging to nature. This primal source of energy is exactly what motivated us to bring MayaSticks to life. Why MayaSticks? MayaSticks are the embodiment of our brand ethos, a nod to simpler times when solutions were designed in harmony with nature. Launched in 1995, these sticks were the spark that ignited our brand. But what makes MayaSticks truly special? The secret lies in their composition. Made from high-quality fatwood, a material naturally abundant in aromatic, waterproof resin, MayaSticks offer a series of advantages when it comes to lighting and sustaining a fire. Fatwood is the natural byproduct of resin-soaked wood. The resin comes from the roots after the tree is harvested, serving as the tree's natural protection. If you're fortunate, you might come across a pine that has been struck by lightning. When this happens, the entire tree will be saturated with resin, extending all the way to the point where the tree was struck. This particular fatwood comes from the stumps of a distinctive pine species in Honduras, known as Montezum and Caribea. This tree is impressive, growing almost three times larger than the Swedish pine in just 15-20 years and boasting up to 80% natural resin content, compared to the 30% in Swedish pine. This natural, resin-rich wood outperforms commercial fire starters. A one-by-one-inch petroleum-based paraffin wax cube, for example, burns for up to eight minutes. MayaSticks can burn for up to 20 minutes and produce a significantly hotter flame. The burn time can vary slightly depending on the thickness of the sticks. These attributes make fatwood-based fire starters like MayaSticks a superior choice for prolonged and robust flames. How MayaSticks Improve Fire Starting It's this high resin content in fatwood that makes MayaSticks so invaluable. Resin, rich in hydrocarbon, is highly flammable. When ignited, the resin in the fatwood acts as natural fuel, bolstered by its natural chemical compounds like terpenes. These compounds vaporize upon heating, creating a combustible gas when mixed with oxygen, that helps a fire burn for longer. The benefits of the elevated resin percentage in MayaSticks allow you to: Ignite quickly: The lower ignition point of resin compared to plain wood allows MayaSticks to catch fire more quickly than plain wood. Burn longer: The resin, acting as a slow-burning fuel, allows the wood to burn for a more extended period, offering up to 20 minutes of flame compared to the shorter burn of conventional fire starters. Increase heat: With resin burning hotter than mere wood fiber, MayaSticks provide an efficient heat source. Repel water: Being hydrophobic, the resin repels water, making MayaSticks an essential fire-starter, even in damp environments. Experience better aroma: When MayaSticks are burning, the resin gives off a comforting, piney smell that adds to the fire's ambiance. Reduce kindling: Owing to its flammable nature, fewer MayaSticks are required to start a fire compared to other types of kindling. -------- Starting a Fire with MayaSticks is Easy Learn how to start a fire with MayaSticks for your BBQ, camping or fireplace with this easy step-by-step guide: Step 1: Prepare Your Fire Area If you’re outside, make sure to clear debris from the area to prevent unwanted spread. Indoors, your fireplace already provides a safe, contained space. Step 2: Shave or Light Your MayaStick Firmly hold your MayaStick in one hand, using a sharp knife in the other to shave off thin, small pieces. If you’re using the Swedish FireKnife, you can also use the backside of the knife to create even smaller fire starter kindling. For an even easier start, you can light one entire MayaStick or multiple MayaSticks at a time. Step 3: Place Your Shavings or Stick Once you have your shavings, place them and one or two MayaSticks underneath your firewood. If your wood is larger or damp, you may need additional sticks to guarantee your fire starts. Step 4: Light Your Fire Use your FireKnife or FireSteel to make long and slow strikes at a 45-degree angle directly toward your shavings. The friction of the striker or knife against the FireSteel will create sparks to ignite the shavings or sticks. You can also use matches or a lighter. Step 5: Build Your Fire As your MayaSticks burn, they will ignite the surrounding firewood. Continue to add more firewood as needed, and enjoy the warmth and aroma of a natural burn! MayaSticks are not only easy to light, but also burn with a robust, hot flame. They’re the perfect companion for anyone who appreciates the primal satisfaction of creating fire. -------- MayaSticks come in bundles with burnable paper, wooden crates or large boxes. They are essential for creating dependable flames. Whether you’re an outdoor cooking enthusiast, a camping aficionado or someone who enjoys the warmth of a fire at home, MayaSticks are your reliable fire-starting solution, anytime, anywhere.
