This is Norway to me. The Norwegian "Lefse" is a flatbread made of potatoes. It's a big part of Norwegian food heritage but still very common today. I have already told you how sporty I think the Norwegians are, and this is a perfect snack they bring to their sport events. What I love with this [...]
We preserve a lot in Scandinavia. That is a very traditional way of store our food due to cold and long winters. But is has also given a traditional taste to the Scandinavian cuisine. I remember my mom taking me with her to collect blueberries or strawberries. Most of them we ate fresh, but with [...]
I think this salad is the definition of a summer salad! You might have strawberries in all your summer dessert, but try them in a salad which you serve together with e.g. grilled meat, vegetables or fish. So easy to prepare and the red color makes it look so pretty. I use arugula in this [...]
"Kroppkakor" or potato dumplings is a very traditional Swedish dish. When I was a kid, I got served home made potato dumplings from one of our relatives. She made the absolutely most delicious ones. She invited us for a potato dumpling party once a year and we could eat as many of her delicious dumplings [...]
This reminds me a lot about my childhood and my grandma. She used to bake coconut macaroons (Kokostoppar) in our summer house. The lemon flavor gives a freshness and is a perfect combination to the coconut. These cookies are gluten free and sooo delicious. I decided to dip some of them in chocolate. 🙂 Ingredients [...]
Moule marinière or mussels in white wine is something I often order when I am at a good seafood restaurant. But it's actually not difficult at all to make it at home. Also, make your own aioli and you have a fantastic meal. Ingredients (4 pers): 4 lb mussels 3 tbsp butter 5 shallots 3 [...]
I can't get enough of baking my own bread (so I know what ingredients it has). Therefore, here comes another recipe. This is a perfect recipe to have ready for the family breakfast. It's just a small amount of yeast, some greek yoghurt which gives the softness together with the crispy crust sprinkled with rolled [...]
I can't say that this is a recipe or even my recipe. Because it's just a watermelon. But I can say that I love to drink watermelon aqua fresca a hot summer day. If you haven't tried it, try it today! And if you want to make it to an evening drink, add some gin [...]
During the Summer, I prefer to do really simple salads. One of the salads served often in our house at the moment is a green salad with grilled peaches. The Florida or Georgia peaches are now perfect - fresh, succulent and tasty. The sweet grilled peach is a perfect match with crispy walnuts, olives and [...]
My first 4th of July celebration while living in USA is taking place today. I couldn't give you any other recipe than a burger today. But instead of comparing with the American burgers, I made a danish inspired hamburger. This is a hamburger made of beef served with home-made burger buns, creamy goat cheese, tasty [...]
