Honey and butter baked pears
Desserts are one of those fascinating things that most people only occasionally have – but when you do, you want to make it worthwhile. As I was grocery shopping the other evening, I saw that pears are in stock and it made me think of this scrumptious (and SUPER easy) baked pear recipe – when…

Meatballs
Norwegian meatballs, like Norwegian waffles, have a million and one recipes all claiming they’re the definitive…. but for me, this is it.

Translated exactly from Norwegian to English, the title of this dish is literally “sheep in cabbage”, and that is pretty much all that’s in it – but don’t let the simplicity dissuade you. This…

Norwegian Waffles
Waffles… the most controversial food in the Nordic countries? Possibly! Everyone has their own version of what makes *the best* Norwegian waffles – whether they be sweet, savoury or some combination of the two. I’ve decided though, that it’s time to share my recipe – super easy, tried and true through (what has to be)…

‘Potato’ Cakes
I cannot claim full credit for this amazing dessert (don’t let the name fool you – these are more profiterole than potato and only claim that name because they look like muddy potatoes when they’re finished), but I have added in a couple of twists of my own to the recipe I was given –…
