This 72 foot Viking ship is now for sale in Norway
As sailors, we always keep an eye on the boat market in Norway. Last weekend a spectacular boat was put on the market – a 72 foot full-scale, fully operational replica of the Oseberg ship, one of the most spectacular Viking ships in the world!
Skipper’s killer three chili potato salad
It’s summer in Norway, finally! And if there’s one thing us Norwegians love during summer, it’s grilling shit. We grill fish, meat, vegetables, and some even the seagulls that try to snatch our food straight from the white hot grill. This potato salad is the perfect side for anything I can think of!
Pizza with cepes, Gorgonzola, toasted hazelnuts and parsley
This is a pretty special pizza. In 2009 I was in the Norwegian pizza championship, and came in 3rd. Packed with umami and complex flavors, this improved and simplified version is one of the best vegetarian pizzas I know of.
Spanish cheeseburger with serrano ham, tapenade and dried tomato mayo recipe
One of the things we really love about sailing is to go to new places and experience their food and culture. This easy to make burger is inspired by a visit to Spain, and is packed with wonderful, complex flavors from the region.
The world’s quickest green pea soup recipe
Bold claim perhaps. But I know of no made-from-scratch dinner that is as quick to make as this green pea soup. I timed it, and without rushing, I made it in 10 minutes, start to finish, including bringing the water to a boil. It’s also totally delicious, and very healthy!
Norwegian tartlets with cod balls in mild curry sauce
This is a Norwegian classic from my childhood. We used it as a weekend evening meal, but it works great as a starter too. While my parents used store bought shells, here’s how to make everything from scratch.
Traditional Norwegian cod roe, mustard sauce & pickled carrots
Cod roe is a very traditional Norwegian eat, and I’m always looking forward to when the season starts in early January. It can be served many ways, but this is my favorite traditional way – pan fried, boiled potatoes, creamy mustard sauce, and quick pickled carrots for a fresh, crispy zing!
Pizza Bianco with honey cured bacon, rosemary & jalapeño peppers
So this is one of our long time classics that we can never get enough of. It started out many years ago as a visit to a restaurant, and we went home and optimized those already magnificent flavors. This is the result!
Killer homemade Norwegian Pizza Grandiosa recipe
I hate Pizza Grandiosa with a passion. And yet it’s the most consumed frozen pizza in Norway, so no Norwegian food blog worth a grain of salt could be without a recipe for a homemade version of it. Here’s a Pizza Grandiosa that’s actually really, really delicious.
