Words can't describe how thrilled I am to announce this incredibly well designed, exciting and expertly organized first ever vegan tour of Norway! This has been a dream of mine for quite some time, and I finally found a partner I am so elated to be collaborating...
I have to admit, fyrstekake was never my favorite Norwegian cake. The versions I grew up experiencing were always very dense, sometimes dry and most often too rich to even enjoy more than one bite. Perhaps this is why I’ve been hesitant to make it regularly. I am thrilled to report that my efforts to veganize this cake produced a result I am much happier with than the cakes I used to eat as a child and one I wrote about before I went vegan.
Norwegians love to bake, and while all countries have their own versions of pretty much any dish in existence, I don't think there's anything quite like Norwegian "horn". The closest would probably be crescent rolls but I will refer to them as "horns" for the rest of...
I am thrilled to announce that my blog, Arctic Grub, has been selected as one of the top 60 Scandinavian blogs on the web!! The criteria for making the list were: Google reputation and Google search ranking Influence and popularity on Facebook, twitter and other...
Fiskegrateng is a classic dish most Norwegians remember from childhood, aimed to please both adults and kids, even those that wrinkle their nose when they hear "we're having fish for dinner". Fiskegrateng is what I call true Norwegian comfort food, and a dinner I...

Have you ever wondered what exactly the origins of Christmas cookies are? And perhaps, even more specifically, the traditional Norwegian Christmas cookies? Many of the cookies we bake today weren't even Christmas cookies originally. By the 19th century, ovens were...
Most of the time I'm happy to share the recipes I come up with on the blog, but this time there was something in me that thought I should just keep this one a secret and perhaps profit off of starting a caramel business. The caramels came out that good. I didn't...
Continuing my yearly holiday series of Norwegian cookies, I realized I've never shared my recipe for these delightful, two-bite-sized cookies called peppernøtter. Perhaps it's not a coincidence, as they are a bit anonymous compared to the other famous seven kinds we...
I've been speaking of and writing a lot about baking, cookies and cakes around the holidays as being a very big Norwegian tradition. But what about the savory dishes? Don't they get any love? Of course. In fact, this time of year, long, leisurely breakfasts we call...
