I’m really lucky to be living in a part of our world where we can go out and pick anything we like in the forest. And this autumn the forest has been flooded with gold (chanterelles that is ). And the best way of preparing chanterelles is to just fry them gently in butter. Lots of butter. Like a lot, a lot! And some fresh thyme. It’s delicious! You can eat them directly out of the pan or you can do what I do and fry of some bread in the same pan after frying the mushrooms. And serve the chanterelles on top. Wow, it’s so simple and so yummy!
In this recipe I have used a sourdough bread from my bakery – Landbrød. It’s quite fine bread which I think goes great with this dish.
So here it is, my super simple and super delicious chanterell sandwich recipe: Read more

Ah, a great and delicious steak pie. Is there anything better? I think you already know that I am a true pie lover, and also a meat lover. So this is a perfect savory pie for me. You can add more veggies if you like and also substitute some of the fluid for your favorite beer. The variations is endless. Just be careful with the amount of fluid you put into the actual pie. We don’t want a soggy bottom as Mary Berry would have said.
So let’s get cooking this delicious steak pie!

This is so simple and easy that it’s not really a recipe just a suggestion really. Melon and Serrano is a classic combination on a warm and sunny day. And along with a glass of sparkling wine (pref. Cava) it’s just so refreshing and delicious.
It’s perfect for lunch, dinner, tapas or even dessert. You choose! Read more

Blueberries have invaded our forest and it’s time to start picking!
Blueberries are great, they are full of good stuff and taste amazing. I always pick lots of them and freeze them down so that I can use blueberries all year around. And they keep for 1 year in the freezer so by the time that you’re out of berries they’re in season again.
If you want to make something different with your blueberries than the usual pie or muffin recipe, this is it! Blueberry Chutney! It tastes amazing paired with lamb or with cheese. I used mine as a topping on a lamb sausage together with chantarelle chips and thyme. Delicious!

Here in Norway we’re surrounded by great seafood and today I got the hold of a filet of spotted wolf fish (steinbit in Norwegian). The meat has a firm texture which makes this fish perfect for barbecues and frying. Since it is an endangered species in some parts of the world you need to make sure that the fish you buy is caught in waters where they’re not endangered.
When cooking this dish I’ve seasoned the fish with cajun spices and fried it. I’ve made a creamy and buttery turnip and carrot puree to go along with the fish. And I also pickled some cucumber ribbons and made a burnt butter sauce with hazel nuts.

Nettle season is here! At least here in the northern parts of Europe. I grew up eating nettles. As soon as it started raining my mum sent me and brother out to pick these green burning leaves. But we loved the soup so much that it was worth it.
It’s such a great feeling of finding something growing wild in the nature and be able to pick it, use it and eat it – all for free. And it’s super healthy as well. Nettles are packed with vitamin A, iron and proteins. You can dry the leaves and blend them into a fine powder and use it in cooking, for nettle tea or when baking bread. Or you can do what I do in this recipe and blanch them and use them for soup. After blanching you can put the nettles in freezing bags and freeze for another day. I always say that you can substitute nettles for spinach. It works great as a pie filling, in breakfast muffins, eggs florentine and so on. It’s so tasty and delicious! Read more
A crispy and cheesy grilled cheese sandwich is always a hit! It’s a perfect midday snack and breakfast. But it also works great as a midnight snack or hangover cure. You can use as much cheese as you like and any type of cheese.( I often go with three different types of cheese. ) Add ham or another ingredient if you want. As long as you have a crispy outside and a cheesy gooey middle everything will be fine.
