When I surveyed my readers and followers a while back about which Norwegian dish they would most like to see veganized, Dronning Mauds dessert (or Queen Maud's Mousse) was right up there with "brunost" (the widely popular and unique Norwegian goat cheese). I had...
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...
Serinakaker is regarded as one of the original, classic Christmas cookies in Norway and are classified as "småkaker" (small cookies). These are small butter-sugar-flour cookies with a ruffled pattern, topped with sliced almonds and sugar and are known as many...
I remember when I first became vegan and started thinking about all the dishes I had grown up with that I would no longer be able to enjoy. Come to think of it, most traditional Norwegian foods have either meat, fish, dairy or eggs in them. But as I started...
As a typical bread-loving Norwegian, it can be difficult to live in a country that is protein obsessed and deathly afraid of carbs. But it didn’t stop me from making today’s recipe of whole grain, multi-seeded loaves of bread.
I've written about eplekake, Norwegian apple cake, a couple of times before on the blog, but it's one I could write about multiple times over. There are endless variations, such as a vegan version filled with marzipan which I shared here, and before I went...
I've long been trying to perfect a vegan cinnamon bun, or "kanelboller" or "kanelsnurrer" as they go by in Norwegian. Luckily it's not hard to veganize them, as they don't need eggs nor dairy, and omitting these ingredients will not affect neither the...
