Long ago, a friend asked if I had a recipe for Skolebolle. I didn’t, cause I think the industrial version you get in the stores is so god-aweful I never buy them. But then I thought about how they COULD be if they were made well…

Norwegian leek, beans & potato stew
As much as we love to make elaborate meals, this robust and dirt cheap stew is an everyday staple for us, and it blows my mind how flavorful it is considering how simple and humble it is. But that is the very essence if Norwegian cooking.
Norwegian mushroom stew & mashed potatoes
As foragers, we eat a lot of mushrooms, and this mushroom stew is no exception. We really think this dish is Norway on a plate, and it is full of wonderful flavors that you can recreate at home with ease, using foraged or store bought mushrooms.
Norwegian Kneipp bread recipe
Ahh…the Kneipp bread. Invented by the German Catholic priest and MD Dr. Sebasian Kneipp in an effort to prevent masturbation. Read on to learn more about Norway’s most popular bread, and the recipe to bake your own.
Kashmiri Rogan Josh lamb curry
I am a whore for chili, so when I got my hands on some Kashmiri chilies, and we’re in the middle of lamb season here in Norway, there was only one thing I could make: Rogan Josh, just like my Viking forebears used to make!
Tasty AF home made naan with nigella seeds
Warm from the oven, soft, pillowy, slightly chewy naan, flavored with nigella seeds, and brushed with ghee. That is pure happiness on a plate. We eat a lot of naan, both with curries and dahls, so this is a tried and true recipe!
Norwegian National Day May 17th history, traditions, and food!

Norwegian Fiskesuppe fish soup with fish balls
Fiskesuppe is one of the most iconic dishes in Norwegian coastal cuisine, and this is my take on the Norwegian classic fish soup. It’s quick and easy to make, and so delicious I just had it for my birthday!
Norwegian rye breaded pollock & creamy cauliflower
This super simple, yet elegant dish plays on different textures, with crispy rye breading, juicy fish and creamy cauliflower as well as the peppery flavor pairing between cauliflower, field lettuce, and a subtle hint of mustard.
Norwegian gourmet hazelnut crusted cod on creamy mushrooms
This is one of the easiest recipes I can think of, yet I would be very happy to be served something like this on a restaurant. It’s made in under 30 minutes, so what’s not to love about it?
Gourmet beer batter fish & triple cooked chips
This dish is insane; What’s crispy is so crispy it’s practically impossible to keep a normal conversation going while you eat, the fish is so juicy it’s unheard of, and the fluffiness of the interior of the chips is out of this world. Like I said: Insane.
