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...
What is 'rundstykker'? These 'round pieces' (=rundstykke) of bread are buns made with various cereals and grains, and are popular all throughout the Nordic countries, particularly in Norway and Denmark. As bread lovers, Scandinavians love to play around with...
I've been having so much fun transforming traditional Norwegian dishes into plant based alternatives these past few years, and while some have not turned out the way I had hoped or envisioned (I have high standards), others come out so much better than I had ever...
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...
When I decide to start my blog several years back, it stemmed from a desire to spread the word about Scandinavian, more specifically Norwegian, food and share with my readers that yes, we do eat foods beyond Swedish meatballs and smoked salmon. Of course the latter...
Sunnmøre is the Norwegian region in which I was born and raised. Located on the north-western coast, it’s an impossibly beautiful part of the country, decorated with majestic mountains, gorgeous, big fjords and beautiful valleys scattered all over the area. Geiranger, one of Norway’s most popular tourist destinations, is also located here.
Ok, so this is a blog post I'm not sure will really translate very well into English, but I happened to come across it earlier and it brought back so many wonderful childhood memories I just had to at least give this a try! This might be a funny story for the...
