A place where we discuss Scandinavian culture, recipes we are making at home, baking tips and tricks, and much more!
It’s the holiday season! And with that comes a ton of holiday baking and of course, Christmas cookies. If you’re looking to host a Christmas cookie exchange, looking for unique ideas of what to bring to your friend’s or family member’s house, or just looking to *spice* things up this year with some different cookies, look no further!
If you’ve ever been so lucky to have a Dane in your life, you know that we love Christmas. Perhaps it’s because it gets so dark in Scandinavia in the wintertime and we need something to cheer us up. Whatever the reason, we have about a million traditions to get ourselves in the festive holiday mood.
Football, or fodbold, or soccer (as it is known in America), is undoubtedly the most popular sport in Denmark. We thought we would tell you all about football culture in Denmark today!
In today’s post, we wanted to focus on how to prepare for Christmas as a Scandinavian living abroad. Ever since we moved away from Denmark, our mother has had to diligently make sure we have everything we need to still have a Danish Christmas in the US.
Smørrebrød is, in fact, the national dish of Denmark! It translates directly to “butter bread,” which is a pretty accurate name, as the first step to making delicious smørrebrød is usually to butter your bread.
When we aren’t working on developing new recipes for Skandibaking, we still love to cook and bake! We wanted to share some of the other recipes we have been making this month, from blogs, Tiktok creators, and our favorite cookbooks!
Halloween is a holiday we have always celebrated. In today’s post, I wanted to explore the history of Halloween, while also trying to find potential links back to Scandinavia. Because, thanks to the Vikings, most things do actually link back to Scandinavia 🙂
Wienerbrød is what we call Danish pastries in Denmark, which translates to “Vienna bread.” This is because Austrian bakers were actually the first to bring these techniques to Denmark. The irony is that nowadays, these pastries are known as “Danishes” throughout the rest of the world, but “Vienna bread” in Denmark!
Today we wanted to dive into some fun Danish birthday traditions and explain some of them to you. Birthdays are a big deal in Denmark, especially for kids! There are more traditions than we have space for, but we wanted to take you through the common ones.
