I'm so thrilled to announce that my first official recipe ebook, A Collection of Recipes from Arctic Grub is now online and available for sale! This is a collection of more than 60 of my favorite Norwegian recipes from my blog, in addition to some exclusives available...
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.
For someone who isn't a huge pumpkin fan to begin with, this is a pretty big statement which I hope will catch attention. Because your gustatory experience will depend on it. It's not often I even get tempted by anything "pumpkin" and as a native of Norway, I never...
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...

If you are a fan of Norwegian waffles, you know that they are heart shaped, thinner and softer than the American version. We also don't eat waffles for breakfast, rather we enjoy them with a strong cup of black coffee in the afternoon or evening, preferably in the...
Having just returned from a week in London, I definitely feel a tad heavier after too much restaurant food and wine. The Brits sure like their share of booze and heavy food... I do try to eat as healthy as possible while I am on vacation, but I also subscribe to the...
Liver pate, or leverpostei, is as common in Norway as smoked salmon, the brown cheese and that caviar that comes in a tube when it comes to spreads for open face sandwiches Norwegians eat for breakfast and lunch. Every kid grew up eating leverpostei, perhaps with...
