We eat a lot of potatoes during the summer. I love simple boil summer potatoes, but then preferable with herring, sour cream and chive. Otherwise I like to make something else out of the potatoes. To roast them, or a gratin or mashed potatoes. This dish is a simple dish with roasted potatoes, carrots and [...]
This is a perfect summer dish and reminds me a lot of Swedish summer with traditional Swedish "färsk potatis" (the special summer potatoes). I have roasted the potatoes in butter, garlic and fresh rosemary from my garden. The drumsticks are marinated with a rosemary and oregano marinade, which gets the saltiness from soy sauce and [...]
This is a really easy and quick dinner suggestion that can be prepared with there is not much time for dinner preparation, or even when you have friends coming over for dinner but still doesn't want to spend to much time for the preparation.

Mini potatoes grilled in the oven - such a simple side dish, typical Scandinavian, and the potatoes can be flavored just as you want them. I flavored with thyme and lemon this time which give a fresh and rich flavor. The thyme has an earthy, a bit sweet and at the same time a slightly [...]

As a Swede, I have to say that meatballs come original from Sweden. 😉 In Denmark, meatballs are called "Frikadeller". The original Frikadell is made of ground pork. What I love with the Danish meatballs is that they are mixing more spices and ingredients than we do with the Swedish meatballs. Here I have made [...]
Chicken bites are something for the whole family or can be served as a snack/finger food at a party. Use organic chicken and flavor them as you prefer. Goodbye all bad chicken nuggets that are dripping fry oil. These, fried but not deep fried, crispy chicken bites are served with crispy potato wedges and a [...]
We all know how good a Caesar salad is a warm summer day. What is then the difference with my recipe? I would say the chicken that is made from a whole roasted chicken and the homemade dressing. Otherwise it follow a classic Caesar salad - romaine lettuce, bread croutons and parmesan cheese. So good! [...]
To cook food from the base is something I appreciate. Even better is when I know exactly from where the ingredients are coming. Where has the lemon grown, where is the chicken from etc. We all know that it is not always possible to get this information when we do our grocery shopping, but the [...]
