This dish is one of those that requires so little work, yet yields such a high reward. The pesto is so fresh and packed with flavour and goes so well with the gooey, chewy gnocchi and the sweet, juicy tomatoes. The gorgeous green colour of the pasta and sauce command one’s attention like a piece […]

5-Ingredient Mushroom Carbonara
Halloumi, Avocado and Strawberry Summer Salad
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. […]

It’s a tiny bit of work, but they’re completely manageable. And 200% worth it. Besides, I have […]

I thought to myself; what does one do with spotty bananas? And I concluded that the best (and easiest) thing to do […]

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 […]
