I went to my favorite local seafood store (it's more a garage) in Jacksonville the other day to get some fresh shrimps. "Roland Seafood" fresh shrimps are the best in town (and the best I have ever eaten!). I do all I can to support my local jewelries when it comes to food. We all [...]
I love saffron and especially this time of the year. In the Scandinavian cuisine, saffron is mainly used as a Christmas spice. This dish is so easy and quick to prepare. I found some fresh Littleneck clams at my local fish market and decided to make a pasta with saffron and the clams. If you [...]
I can't start this dish with an English name. This is one of my favorite dishes or appetizer in the world! Yes, it is. And you know what, it is super simple to make. It is also a Scandinavian icon. Let me introduce you to our Toast Skagen. This is a delicious shrimp salad on [...]
Scallops is something I don't want to prepare more than needed. I want to keep them as close to fresh scallops as possible, even when cooking them. I want a touch of heat on them, but not more than that. That can be difficult, but just watch them carefully in the skillet (grill) and you [...]

I like to set my own twist on meals. In Scandinavia, as you might already know, we love fish and seafood. Therefore I have prepared a seafood version of the traditional Italian mince meat lasagna (which I also love). You can prepare this meal in less than 45min. Try it, and I am sure you [...]
I think this dish looks absolutely beautiful! It's a grand, exciting but easy dish that I served as an appetizer but can of course be done bigger and then as a main course. This is a dish I serve on a special evening. Ingredients (appetizer - 4 pers): 2 sweet potatoes 7 tsp olive oil 6 [...]
