One of my absolute favorite things to make is pizza. This sauce is a improved and simplified version of the one I came in 3rd place with in the Norwegian Pizza Championship in 2009.

The Norwegian 2020 Covid coastal cruise Part 1
What should have been a 14 month cruise from Norway to the Caribbean and back again turned out quite differently thanks to Covid. We decided to play the cards we were dealt, and flip a finger to 2020. This is how well that went.
The Norwegian-American cheese burger with crisp Fenalår
Very few things are as American as a fat burger. First created in America in 1900 by Louis Lassen, a Danish immigrant, it is only fitting that a Norwegian with a Danish wife does his own take on the gastronomic classic!
Classic Norwegian mackerel with cabbage and sour cream sauce
For me, this is one of the ultimate Norwegian summer classics. Fresh caught mackerel with crispy seared skin, creamy, tangy sauce, lovely butter steamed in-season green cabbage – and a metric shitload of dill.

Authentic Italian sourdough foccacia
This is one of the simplest, yet most delicious breads you can possibly make. The end result is so incredible we often munch it just plain with no spread at all! Or, as a lunch or dinner, pair it with a variety of cured meats, cheeses and pestos.
Tagliatelle in ramson pesto, morel mushrooms and goat’s cheese
This is one of our quick and easy staples when the ramson is in season here in Europe. Especially luxurious with morel mushrooms, but oyster mushrooms will do very nicely too!
Our ultimate fresh pasta recipe
Fresh pasta is a staple in the Italian kitchen, and with good reason! It’s very quick and easy to make, it’s dirt cheap, filling, and incredibly delicious. It is also superior to anything you’ll ever find in the stores, and SO worth the 5 minutes it takes to make.
Viking pizza with sun chokes, ramson pesto and smoked goat’s cheese
This pizza is actually a spin-off of our Viking falafels, and we’re using many of the same components, so if you decide to make one of them, you might as well make the other too. Not only will it save you time in the kitchen – but knock your socks off too!
Dead easy homemade pesto recipe
Pesto is one of those incredibly delicious things that cost an arm and a leg if you buy a jar, but is super simple to make at home, costs WAY less, and taste WAY better than virtually any storebought alternative. Let’s go!
