Mango Lassi with Schweppes Lemon

This is advertiser content for Schweppes.

Schweppes asked us to make some fresh summery drinks and lemonades that goes well with food. Five different recipes were developed in the Two Foodies Eating lab, and we teamed up with Jan Robin Ektvedt at the restaurant Hitchhiker to get some awesome street food dishes to match the drinks perfectly. Of course, that was no challenge for JR who recently launched a cookbook about street food from around the world together with Stian Floer.

Photographer Carl Christian Raabe shot all the photos and videos, and one recipe will be featured each week on Dagbladet.no and printed in the glossy weekend magazine Dagbladet Magasinet five subsequent weeks! The fifth and final recipe is now out; a mango lassi with Schweppes Lemon paired with a spicy chili crab. You can read the recipe in Norwegian and watch the video of how it was made here. Andrea styled and art directed the photos/videos and Anders starred in the mixing videos.
