And then it hit me. The craving. When it hits me, it does it hard. Before I could even contemplate, I was on my way out to the store. It told me “oyster mushroom pizza”, I thought “pine nuts, garlic”. Keep it simple. The fresh basil was a knee jerk reaction, totally automatic. I love…
Summer is coming to an end, which means browning leaves, fluffy socks, warm drinks and cute nights in front of the TV. It also means stone fruits won’t be in season much longer, so we enjoy them while we can. These mini Peach and Almond Galettes are definitely a good idea. Drool. Underneath the peaches…
This crazy hot summer has some serious upsides. First of all, it makes me binge drink water, something I usually am a bit too good at forgetting. Second of all, the beach. Self-explanatory. Third, I’ve had these popsicle moulds hiding in a drawer for years, and I finally get to use them. There are many…
It’s Summer. I mean, it has been for a few months. Copenhagen is experiencing heatwave after heatwave, and I’m stuck here wanting to sip on ice cold cocktails all damn day. It’s Friday today, and that’s enough of an excuse for me to pull out the alcohol and get shaking. I found some gorgeous, fresh…
No doubt, we all love cinnamon rolls. Pillowy soft dough, swirls of sweetness and a light drizzle of icing on top. Perfection. Even so, it is sometimes fun to play around with variations of the original thing, be it adding ginger ale to a mojito, blueberry preserves to a grilled cheese or, in this case,…
This Brownie Pie… I mean, where do I start? See, brownies have always held a very special place in my heart, as I’m sure it has for most of you. In the age old war between cakes and pies, I’ve always been on the side of cake. It’s so versatile. So soft. But as I’ve…
It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means… It’s taco time! This week I’m celebrating – yes, celebrating – with these Fried Oyster Mushroom Tacos. Think of them sort of like fish tacos, but, you know, sans fish. I recently received a DIY oyster mushroom kit from Danish owned Svampefarm. This post isn’t sponsored; I…
It’s Monday, and what better way to start the week than with a little treat? We all know that brownies rule, I mean, if you don’t agree, who are you, and what are you doing with your life?! The other best thing ever is caramel. So I decided to put the two together and call…
So, hot dogs are one of my favourite things to eat. Period. I could tell you many stories about my love for hot dogs, but I will safe myself the embarrassment. Let me just tell you this; I’m a hot dog fan. It’s a passion. The other day I came by a hot dog recipe…
TWIN PEAKS IS BACK!!! I truly believe that it’s one of the most iconic TV shows of all time, and I am so happy to be watching it again. So happy that it only felt right to celebrate with, you guessed it, Twin Peaks Cherry Pie. Cherry pie is a very American type of pie, so…
I served this chocolate & salted caramel tart as one of the desserts at the birthday party I did recently. I had only tested the tart once before the party, but I thought I would nail it, no doubt. So when I pulled out the tart, guests waiting patiently, I was horrified and highly amused…
Building a layer cake makes me nervous as fuck. It’s like, is it going to fall apart, is it going to look and taste good enough to justify spending so so so much time on it, am I going be disappointed, am I going to want to throw it into a wall? You know, quite…
I am on a real cookie high recently. Usually, I stick to basic chocolate chip cookies, but these past few months I have wanted something a little different. I shared some wonderful Chocolate Chip, Espresso & Marshmallow Cookies in January, and now I’m sharing these smoked bourbon cookies with dark chocolate chunks. They are pretty much perfect. The…
Apple pie is one of my favourite desserts, which I think kinda goes for all of us, right? It’s not flashy, it’s not the first thing that springs to mind when I’m thinking of what I want to eat after dinner, but it’s a classic. It seems like one of those pies that has always…
So, tomorrow is Fastelavn in Denmark (and the other Nordic countries). Fastelavn has its roots in Catholicism; it would be celebrated as days of food and fun before starting a 40 day fast. People would stuff their faces with all of the foods that would soon be off limits. It also served as an outlet as everything…
The classic Chocolate Chip Cookie has had a facelift and injections of Espresso™ and Marshmallow™. It actually looks better now than ever. THE COOKIES (makes 8) 75 g Muscovado Sugar 75 g Cane Sugar 100 g (Vegan) Butter 1 tbsp Almond Milk 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste 1/4 tsp Sea Salt 50 g Dark Chocolate 25 g…
Fluffy doughnuts, sweet crème pâtissière, caramel-y honeycomb… I can’t put into words how wonderful these honeycomb doughnuts are. The filling in these honeycomb doughnuts is a gorgeously smooth crème pâtissière full of little pieces of honeycomb. The honeycomb pulls in moisture from the crème and turns in to little swirls of caramel-y goodness. Oh, yes!…
Tiramisu has always been one of my absolute favourite desserts; the ladyfingers, the coffee, the mascarpone cream… Ah! Nothing beats it. BUT I wanted to make a cake version of the classic dessert, and this Tiramisu Cake is spot on! All the right flavours are there, and I’m sold. The cake consists of two layers…
My girlfriend is back in university, and she’s always busy, always leaving the door without breakfast, or even lunch, and I kept thinking I wanted to make something quick and easy for her, something she can just grab and go. Enter hand pies. I kept seeing these little cute hand pies all over Instagram, and I…
This is the first coffee flavoured cake I have ever had. Where have I been? What was I waiting for? Honestly, I didn’t really know it was a thing. So when my girlfriend told me about it, I nearly lost my mind. I love coffee with a passion, so of course I was on board….
