Scandinavian Easter Food: Sandwiches, Fish, Meat, and Sweet Treats
Since Easter is coming up at the end of this month, we wanted to share with you some Scandinavian Easter food staples.
Chokolade Fastelavnsboller (Chocolate Danish Carnival Buns)
When we were coming up with ideas for how to tweak the basic version of a fastelavnsbolle, which is basically a soft cardamom bun with a vanilla cream filling, we immediately thought: why not just throw as much chocolate as we can into the mix?
Skipperlabskovs (Beef and Potato Stew)
Today’s recipe choice for this hearty beef and potato stew has undoubtedly been inspired by the sudden cold weather we’ve been experiencing, both in the UK and the US.
8 Scandinavian Must-Haves for Christmas and New Year’s
It’s especially cold and dark in December in the Scandinavian countries, so we need as many holiday traditions as possible to cheer us up and push us through to spring. If you’re in need of some inspiration this holiday season, read on, and I’ll tell you how you can have your own Scandi-inspired Christmas and New Year’s!
“Easier” Danish Pastry Dough
While we already have a Danish pastry dough recipe, this is a slightly tweaked alternative, with enough changes that it made sense to list it separately! It uses less butter and more flour, making it easier to work with and laminate the dough.
Remoulade Sauce
Coming from a seaside town in Denmark, there is nothing that screams summer more than fresh fish. We have vivid memories of heading down to the harbor on a beautiful summer day or evening, eating fish for dinner and having a delicious ice cream for dessert.
Boller i karry (Meatballs in Curry Sauce)
If you ask us, there is nothing better in a dish than fresh flavors and vibrant colors. As they say, you eat with your eyes first! Of course, not every dish is going to look perfect.
Orange and Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies
Hi everyone – we are finally back with a new recipe! We took a break over Christmas and New Year to spend time with each other and the rest of our family. As a result, we have not been able to post many new recipes.
Risalamande (Rice Pudding with Almonds)
When Christmas Eve in our house finally arrives, we are so excited to eat our favorite dinner of the year. It doesn’t get better than flæskesteg, andesteg, brunede kartofler, rødkål, and boiled potatoes, all topped with an amazing gravy!
