It’s no secret that I’m a huge bread lover and would much rather gorge on savory bread than any sweets out there. This Christmas I’m making an Italian-inspired feast instead of the traditional Norwegian fare I normally cook up, much because this holiday feels like it needs something different.

When the cold weather sets in, I crave nothing more than a hot bowl of soup or stew. But what makes it a complete meal, is a nice juicy roll or hearty bread slathered with butter, to go with it. Last weekend I threw a super fun virtual Norwegian cooking class featuring dishes made from ..read more

Every time I can find an excuse to pop a bottle of champagne, I do. One could say it’s my favorite beverage, next to the wines of Bourgogne. (Yes, I have expensive taste when it comes to wine – not ashamed!) One of my favorite things to make when I’m drinking champagne is a butternut ..read more

Every time I have barley in a dish I’m reminded of how utterly delicious this grain is. The grain has a deep nutty taste with a great, satisfying chewy texture and is very hearty, not to mention nutritious. It’s rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and provides lots of fiber as well. In Norway, my ..read more
