Andesteg (Roast Duck with Apples & Prunes)
Today is the day – December 1st. And you know what that means…Christmas! It is now officially the season of Christmas, and in Scandinavia, we take this very seriously.
Chokolade Kagecreme (Chocolate Pastry Cream)
If you ask us, the best filling for cakes and pastries is, undoubtedly, pastry cream. If you make it correctly, it is silky smooth with an amazing flavor and sweetness.
Smørrebrød (Danish Open-faced Sandwiches)
It’s about time we wrote out a recipe for Denmark’s national dish – smørrebrød, aka open-faced sandwiches! We grew up eating simplified versions of the sandwiches in this recipe for lunch, and fancier versions for family events around Christmas or Easter.
Leverpostej (Danish Liver Pate)
Somehow we have already reached the month of autumn turning into winter, even though I swear it was August yesterday! Halloween is over, which means it’s time to start thinking about…Christmas!
Græskarkage (Pumpkin Cake)
Nobody loves pumpkin-flavored everything in the autumn more than Americans. Take it from us, if you walk around a grocery store in the fall, you will find things you never even thought could exist in a pumpkin version!
Æbletærte (Apple Tart with Marzipan Filling)
Is there anything more autumnal than apples? Add a few warm spices, like cinnamon or cloves, and you’ve got the simple but delicious flavors of autumn!
Lagkagesnegle (Raspberry Swirls with Vanilla Pastry Cream)
As we have worked on this blog, many of our recipes, while they are our own way of doing things, are not anything new. We base our blog on many baked goods and desserts that already exist.
Hvid Gløgg (Mulled White Wine)
Gløgg is mulled wine – an absolutely classic winter and autumn drink. In Denmark, it is typically consumed around Christmastime, and the more common version is made with red wine.
Syltede Rødbeder (Pickled Beets)
In Denmark, much like in the rest of Northern Europe, we love pickling things. Pickling is not only a great method of preserving vegetables, but pickled veggies turn out so delicious and add a very unique flavor to whatever dishes you choose to add them to!
