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.
Norwegian Sviskekompott prune compote with port wine
Prune compote has always been a favorite for us, and is as classic a Scandinavian dessert as they come. This old school dessert is also incredibly quick and easy to make.
Authentic Danish Skipperlabskovs potatoes & beef stew
There are very few things that beats this wonderful, warming potatoes and meat stew on a cold winter day. Made with simple ingredients, this one pot stew can be made by anyone, and you will have people begging for more!
Cantonese sweet & sour pork recipe
Decades ago when I studied computer engineering I had a part time job at a computer store. Just down the road was a Chinese restaurant that had the most amazing sweet and sour pork. Through trial and error, this is my interpretation of how they made it.
Norwegian Italiensk salat coleslaw
My dad made this every single Christmas, and this is my take on this Norwegian classic. It’s dead simple, and so much better than the store bought stuff!
Home made duck paté recipe
When we buy a whole duck, one of the real treats, aside from the duck breasts and duck confit is, of course, the duck paté. It’s easy to make, and so incredibly delicious!
Norwegian pickled herring in creamy aquavit & mustard sauce
A real Norwegian…err…Danish….err….Swedish…I should probably say Scandinavian Christmas classic. We simply love this little fish, and Sennepsild is one of the most classic variations. Here’s how to make it!
Norwegian pickled herring in tomato & port wine sauce
A classic in the Scandinavian kitchen, and especially around Christmas are pickled herring in all sorts of sauces and dressing. Here’s how to make Portvinsild!
