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!
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.
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.
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.
Today’s blog post is in our “For Your Next” series, which gives you menu ideas for events in your life. As we are a couple of weeks into autumn already, we thought the best theme for this menu was an autumn event!
As autumn begins to make its way into the picture, we are feeling so excited for the colder weather and seasonal baking to start. Nothing beats the chill of October, with crisp orange leaves falling from the trees while you get cozy in a big warm sweater and fuzzy socks with a hot cup of tea.
It’s nearing the end of June, and in Scandinavia, that can only mean one thing – midsummer! To clarify, midsummer is a term I am using here to include a lot of the summer festivities that take place around this time of year.
Hi everyone! As the weather starts to warm up, at least in the US and the UK, we are starting to look forward to spending more time outside. In places like Scandinavia, where winters can feel very long and dark, the summer means spending time outside and enjoying the long hours of daylight.
Happy Easter weekend! We love Easter because, for us, it really marks the beginning of spring. Flowers are starting to bloom, trees are turning a beautiful shade of green, and the sky is blue again! We aren’t religious, so that side of it does not play into the holiday for us, but of course, for many, it does.
