Scallops is something I don't want to prepare more than needed. I want to keep them as close to fresh scallops as possible, even when cooking them. I want a touch of heat on them, but not more than that. That can be difficult, but just watch them carefully in the skillet (grill) and you [...]
This is a simple but perfect family dinner. The pita bread you can prepare and bake the day before (or buy). The filling you can variate, but I decided to make vegetarian quinoa burgers which are sooo good! Try it out and let me know what you (and the kids) think. Ingredients (4 pers): Pita [...]
Pita bread is not as common as tortilla bread in Scandinavia. This Mediterranean bread is perfect to fill with the ingredients you like the most. I love to bake my own pita bread because then I can get it very thin, but still as thick as it can keep the filling. In this recipe, I [...]
Cabbage rolls (Kåldolmar) is a dish with long tradition in Scandinavia. The traditional recipe is with ground beef. If you ask my generation or younger generations, I don't think many will answer that they do this dish very often today. I have made a modern touch on the cabbage rolls and I think this is [...]

The traditional way to serve coffee with sweets was to serve many different options so everyone could find at least something they liked. The magic number was seven, seven different cookies. That is also the title of one [...]
This Scandinavian cookie just melt on your tongue. It is called a dream and it must be because it feels like a dream when you eat it. So good! We use baker's ammonia instead of baking powder in these cookies. It is also the baker's ammonia that make them stay crispy and at the same [...]
Halloween is soon coming up and I have of course prepared with pumpkins. I am far from having the same amount of Halloween decoration as my neighbours have in their yards. I will do my Jack-o-lantern faces this week and our Halloween costumes. Non of these things would have taken place if we wouldn't have [...]
The Danish Dream cake (Drømmekage) is a cake that if you have only baked one cake in Denmark, you have baked a Dream cake. 😉 This is the cake you learn how to bake from your grandma. But you know what, it is a simple cake to bake but also sooo tasty. The characteristic taste [...]
Pasta with pesto is something I ate a lot for lunch when I went to the university. It was an easy and quick way to get a delicious meal and have more time for studying. I can tell that I then often bought my pesto. But it's actually very easy to make yourself. Today I [...]
You know already that I love crumble pie (Smulpaj). The last one I did was a typical Scandinavian spring/summer pie. This is more a sign of autumn - my apple crumble pie. This recipe is gluten free so everyone has the chance to try and see how delicious it is. 🙂 Ingredients (1 pie): 7 oz [...]
