Vegan in London Part I

The trip I got addicted to vegan cheese fries. Just like last year, my mom and I made a short trip to London between Christmas and New Year’s to eat good food, watch The Nutcracker and go second hand shopping. We usually go to all the same restaurants when we’re there, because I’m the kind […]

Oven Roasted Potatoes

Last weekend, I bought several packs of potatoes from the expiring section of the grocery store. It’s nice to avoid wasting food and I love potatoes – I am Norwegian after all.

Chocolate Orange Marzipan Truffles

This week I was wearing sunglasses and running shoes on my way to school every single day since it was both warm and sunny, and the snow was gone. That means spring is here, which implies that Easter is just around the corner:) And in Norway, most people go to their “hytter” (cottages) to go […]
