The nettle sprouts are really lovely to eat and super healthy. Just blanch them in boiling water before using them, so ..read more

The sweet taste of coconut and the distinct taste of cardamom, which is a spice we use A LOT here in the Nordic countries.

This recipe features a real summer salad and a beautiful blueberry vinaigrette that is bursting with flavour. It is one of my favorite summer salads and I love serving it for guests, as it really lights up a dinner or lunch table. Right now there are so many blueberries. You can really tell that it’s in season. Both in the supermarkets there are many as well as out in the nature.

I’ve never come acr ..read more

Orange date energy balls will always be my favorite go-to snack when I need a little extra energy kick for example in the afternoon with a cup of coffee, or at noon before lunch. They are healthy but taste like cake and they are incredibly easy to make. Only 5 ingredients for this recipe, which we like! Right?… My 3 year old son is totally addicted to these and so is his mother. When I pick him up from kindergarten, he very often asks “Mom, did you make date energy balls, or “daddelkugler” which it’s called in Danish! So cute. Very often I also add some hemp seeds or chia seeds just to ..read more
