For the past couple of months I’ve been busy filming a cooking class trilogy called Norway vs Denmark exploring the similarities and differences between Danish and Norwegian cuisine. I came across various recipes for Danish teboller and all I could think when reading...
Brunsviger is a classic Danish coffee cake whose recipe hails from the central Danish island of Fyn, where it is sold in nearly all bakeries. Today you can find this delectable pastry all around the country of Denmark. Similar-looking to Italian focaccia, this is a...
Today’s recipe was inspired by the fact that the magical cloudberry are now in season in Scandinavia. In fact, you get three recipes in one blog post today! The cloudberry season is very short - from July to mid-August. It always makes me sad to not be there during...
Pinnebrød is my new favorite thing to throw on the BBQ this summer. This simple bonfire bread traditionally is enjoyed during Sankthansaften (Midsummer Eve), but is a trendy food to cook all throughout the summer months in Scandinavia. I wanted to try making some...

I recently came across a recipe for bollefocaccia, a recent invention by Norwegian bakers which to me seemed perfect as it’s a combination of Norwegian and Italian cuisine, my two favorite countries 🙂 There’s a myriad of recipes for boller, those fluffy, sweet...
I’ve previously written about the old classic Norwegian dessert “Tilslørte Bondepiker” loosely translated to “Vailed Farm Girls”. The traditional recipe contains apples in the form of applesauce, layered with breadcrumbs and whipped cream, and served in a nice...
Rullekake, otherwise known as a roulade or Swiss roll cake, is a simple yet versatile and delicious cake based on sukkebrød which we call a sugary sponge cake and is the base for Norwegian bløtkaker and marzipan cakes as well. Rullekake is typically layered with jam...
