Marbled Cake (only 1 more post to go!)

Last night I had my little half-sister over for some baking and Kung-Fu Panda-watching. In keeping with the black and white theme, she wanted to make a marbled cake and brought a recipe. And now I have the perfect kiddie-cake for you to try. It’s dead easy and different enough for the adult to be entertained too. Well, it probably also helped that we did the baking in the roles of Eric, the brutish male baker and Connie, the annoying customer who kept asking if the cake was done yet.

What’s Your Pizza Secret? (only 2 more posts to go…)

From Claus Meyers recipeYesterday T worked up a really smooth and stretchy pizza dough from a recipe by Claus Meyer. For a pizza that we were having tonight that is. Of course this early preparation really set off our hunger prematurely and watching the little rolls of dough slowly rising in the fridge didn’t help much. So when we finally made four different pizzas a few hours ago, we were more than just regularly excited. We were set for disappointment…

Customer Relations in the Food Industry (only 3 more posts to go)

Reading this entry called “Pølsesnak” about Løgismose Udvalgt (a Danish gourmet-brand-turned-mainstream), I started thinking about customer relations in the food industry. And two recent incidents made me want to finally share my observations with you.

Danish Delights: Kransekage (only 4 more posts to go)

Whenever I categorise a post as a “Danish Delight”, it’s more of an intuitive thing than an actual proven fact. It’s just this feeling that these recipes have something very Danish about them and that they are rarely seen in other countries (but maybe not “never”, seeing as I haven’t been to every single bakery in the world). On top of that there are the endless traditions and memories attached to the enjoyment of these delights. Such as this “Kransekage”, that I have written about before here, only in the more festive New Year’s Eve version (it’s all in the fancy shape).

As you can see from the three posts in the link, I have never fully mastered the art of the perfect icing, but when I saw the Danish tv-show called “Det søde liv“, I had to give it another go. Now, if you look at the icing, it’s almost uncannily white and fluorescent. Toothpaste couldn’t have made a whiter result and it’s all in one tiny detail: The beating.

AOC – Fine Dining On My Birthday (only 5 more posts to go)

Get Adobe Flash player


Everything ages, even seemingly ageless beauties such as myself turn 29, 30 and last Tuesday – 31. Hurray for me. On that occasion we finally had the perfect excuse to go spend 1500 Danish kroner à pop (~200 Euro) on a gourmet meal and some fancy wine at the latest Danish star on the Guide Michelin map: AOC. Short for Aarø og Co., the name doesn’t exactly do much for the branding process. It’s too non-descript and really doesn’t stick or create images in one’s head. Luckily the real experience was a different story…

Hazelnut and Chocolate Truffle Tartlet
