151 THE PRIVATE LIFE OF GRETA GARBO half water, sweetened to taste. Mashed potatoes and string beans completed the main course. She was always pleased with that dinner. “One of her favorite desserts was sponge cake that had been dipped in wine and then covered with a thin custard. On top of that was piled some whipped cream, sweetened and flavored with vanilla and sprinkled with chopped almonds that had soaked in absinthe. “Another favorite dessert of Garbo’s was Swedish apple cake. That is made by putting alternate layers of sweetened apple sauce that has been cooked to the consistency of porridge, and bread crumbs that have been fried in butter, in a deep baking dish and baking slowly for about twenty minutes. When cool it turns out of the pan like a loaf of cake. This is cut in squares and served with whipped cream. Sometimes cinnamon and clove spices are added to the apples, for seasoning.” John Loder, who was often at Garbo’s home, told me about his first meeting with Garbo and the friendship between Garbo, his wife, and himself.
