Röttle Mat & Bak - "Röttle Food & Bakery"

Making the old knowledge of practical baking and cooking and document for us all to take advantage of it, is a very important thing to do! New eating habits have made the old heritage disappearing, including for example legumes. Agneta works with documenting the various kinds of peas and with adapting old recipes to be used today. She is active in running a profitable production of the old crops. She has published two papers with a local connection, "Röttle kvarnar och stampar" (about mills and stamping) and "Liten brödbok från Röttle" (about bread) and a booklet on how to grow and cook legumes, ""Odla och smaka gråärt" (about growing and tasting legumes). She very much likes to give lectures on these topics.

Esther Ellqvist Bauer

Esther was born in 1880 in Skåne. She was a talented artist who studied at Konstakademin (the Art Academy) in Stockholm and became a successful portrait artist. In 1906 Esther married John Bauer, a fellow student. They moved to Småland and settled in Bunnström outside Gränna. There John got all the inspiration for his painting, while Esther did not like it. This made it very difficult for them. Esther and her artwork ended up in the shadow of her husband. Her greatest joy was their son "Putte" that caused her to put up with her destiny as an artist's wife. All in the family were killed when the boat Per Brahe sank outsideof Hästholmen at the lake of Vättern in November 1918. It was a great tragedy for everyone, both the family and for posterity.
