I am writing this post on a proper Norwegian summer day; it’s raining outside and 15 degrees Celcius, though I promise, the weather was much nicer when I came up with the idea for this salad. Here in Norway, in-season, Norwegian strawberries are very much the summer staple, so they’re a must, even in salads. […]

Spelt Focaccia with Fresh Rosemary and Sundried Tomatoes with Homemade Vegan Aioli
Oh my, just reading that makes my mouth water. This is one of my absolute favourite recipes, so it’s definitely time I share it with you guys! My focaccia recipe uses a combination of spelt and regular all-purpose flour, so that it’s semi-whole grain (half grain?), but still rises thanks to the white flour. I […]
Fresh Spring Rolls with Magical Peanut Sauce
First off: this recipe is just delicious. It’s one of my favourite recipes/foods, and when I made them yesterday and shared with my parents, they both agreed that they were absolutely scrumptious, and then the rolls were gone. It’s a tiny bit of work, but they’re completely manageable. And 200% worth it. Besides, I have […]
Coleslaw!

I didn’t really feel like eating them whole and raw, so instead, inspired by the Norwegian movement #spisoppmaten (finish/eat up your food), I decided to make plum chia jam. It turned […]

You might have been waiting for the hummus recipe, you might have found it refreshing that it has not been shared yet. Anyways, if you’re anywhere near as excited […]

Baked Sweet Potato Tacos in Kragerø
Easter break! Finally! I’ve been looking forward to travelling with my mother to Kragerø – a tiny, beautiful and cozy coastal town in Southern Norway. First and foremost, we’re here to visit my mother’s oldest friend, who lives in a beautiful house by the sea. Not only had we planned to visit, but I had […]
Tzatziki
Tzatziki is really a wonderful thing. Creamy, Greek yogurt with cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Of course, if you buy it in the store it’s filled with oil as well, but I prefere making it without myself. And then I like to add herbs; either mint, parsley or dill. When it comes the […]
