I never deliberately write vegan recipes, but some just turn out that way; that is simply what the dish wants to be. This easy to make Spanish-inspired hearty stew, with its complex, aromatic flavors, is one of them.

Norwegian rekesalat shrimp salad with lemon & dill
Rekesalat is a classic in the Norwegian household. This shrimp salad is mostly used on a slice of bread, or a halvt horn (like a Norwegian sub) for lunch, but some of the more adventurous souls put the stuff on hotdogs and waffles too!
Smoked bone marrow, pickles & herbs on potato puré
With its rich flavor and silky mouthfeel, I think of bone marrow as the foie gras of the North. And what a way it is to impress your guests with this elegant, yet easy to make starter with a Norwegian flare!
Lamb chops with beurre noisette hollandaise
Simply put my favorite Sunday dinner as a kid back in the 80ies. I loved it so much I was looking forward to this dinner for days, and I still do! And now that it’s fall in Norway, we have loads of lamb meat in the stores too.
Norwegian Skolebolle (Skolebrød) custard & coconut buns
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.

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 ramen with barley noodles, black kale & poached egg
One of the best things about boiling instead of steaming pinnekjøtt is the incredible stock you’re left with. Here’s one of our staple zero waste dinners that’ll warm you through and make you smile!
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!
