I have the best side dish where you have the side dish and sauce in one. Grilled Feta cheese with tomatoes and olive oil. You don't need any extra sauce, this is all you need. Sooo delicious (if you like Feta cheese 😉 )! I serve it with grilled fish and roasted vegetables, but you [...]
I love fresh spring rolls! Fresh vegetables wrapped in rice paper - so simple, healthy and look how elegant. You find one of my recipes below, but of course you can replace some of the vegetables with your favorites. Just think about the different textures; e.g. crispy cucumber or carrot with a smooth avocado. You [...]
Home-made pizza is something special. Normally we do it when we have friends over for dinner and everyone can decide what they like on the pizza. Before they come, I have prepared the dough and the tomato sauce and we are ready for the topping when our friends are here. We have a pizza stone [...]
I love carpaccio! And by now I think you know that I also love fish. So I made a great combination with these two - Fish carpaccio. I used a fish in season now in Florida which is Grouper. But you can use another fresh fish that you prefer or is in season when you [...]

In most countries we eat hot dogs, that is just how it is. But a hot dog is nothing without a bread roll. The most famous Scandinavian hot dog must be the one from IKEA for under $1. But when we eat hot dogs, I prefer to make my own rolls to them. Here is [...]
My lovely neighbour Bonna came over with plums and peaches from her own garden the other day. I ate some of them directly, but I also decided to make jam and chutney. This is very typical technique in Scandinavia that has a long history in our cuisine - to preserve the fruits. Not only to extend [...]
Salmon is a very common fish in Scandinavia. Here in Florida, I try to eat fish after season. The assortment here is much wider than in Scandinavia. When buying salmon, I always try to buy wild salmon. I can not prove how much better it is to buy wild vs farmed salmon, but all information [...]
If you like lasagna but would don't eat meat, go to my vegetarian lasagna recipe or seafood lasagna recipe. But if you want your lasagna with meat, stay where you are because this recipe gives you a really creamy classical lasagna. This recipe is for 6 to 8 people, but I normally freeze the left overs [...]
