Grilled Peach, Corn and Tomato Flatbread
What screams late summer more than tomatoes, peaches and corn? These happen to be my favorite seasonal fruits and vegetables so I had to come up with a recipe that combined them all. The only reason I’m sad to bid farewell to summer (fall is my favorite season) is the...
Norwegian "Sunshine Sweet Rolls" to celebrate spring
With Easter fast approaching and the first day of spring just passed, my mind goes to foods that reminds me of the bright sunshine, and "solskinnsboller" definitely fits the season. Decadent, fluffy cardamom buns with a "sun" in the middle of vanilla custard, these...
Horn: Norwegian crescent rolls
Norwegians love to bake, and while all countries have their own versions of pretty much any dish in existence, I don't think there's anything quite like Norwegian "horn". The closest would probably be crescent rolls but I will refer to them as "horns" for the rest of...
Root Veggie and Lentil Trio Stew from the Jazzy Vegetarian
As a food blogger, I am always inspired to see what other bloggers are up to and what they create. Laura Theodore, aka the Jazzy Vegetarian, is a talented vegan chef, cookbook author, radio host and actor I've loved to follow, from her award-winning PBS television...
Arctic Grub selected as one of the top 60 Scandinavian blogs on the web!
I am thrilled to announce that my blog, Arctic Grub, has been selected as one of the top 60 Scandinavian blogs on the web!! The criteria for making the list were: Google reputation and Google search ranking Influence and popularity on Facebook, twitter and other...
Fiskegrateng, Norwegian fish au gratin sans the fish
Fiskegrateng is a classic dish most Norwegians remember from childhood, aimed to please both adults and kids, even those that wrinkle their nose when they hear "we're having fish for dinner". Fiskegrateng is what I call true Norwegian comfort food, and a dinner I...
Dronning Maud’s dessert – a royal experience
When I surveyed my readers and followers a while back about which Norwegian dish they would most like to see veganized, Dronning Mauds dessert (or Queen Maud's Mousse) was right up there with "brunost" (the widely popular and unique Norwegian goat cheese). I had...
Polarbrød; Scandinavia’s pita bread
In January most people are swearing off bread and other carb laden foods, but that doesn't have to include healthy, whole grain breads such as polarbrød. These fluffy, pillowy creations have been popular for quite a few years as an alternative to the traditional,...
Sirupssnipper; a spiced and uniquely shaped Norwegian Christmas cookie
Have you ever wondered what exactly the origins of Christmas cookies are? And perhaps, even more specifically, the traditional Norwegian Christmas cookies? Many of the cookies we bake today weren't even Christmas cookies originally. By the 19th century, ovens were...
Homemade caramels to bring you holiday happiness
Most of the time I'm happy to share the recipes I come up with on the blog, but this time there was something in me that thought I should just keep this one a secret and perhaps profit off of starting a caramel business. The caramels came out that good. I didn't...
Peppernøtter; a Norwegian Christmas cookie with a deceiving name
Continuing my yearly holiday series of Norwegian cookies, I realized I have never shared my recipe for these delightful, two-bite sized cookies called peppernøtter. Perhaps it's not a coincidence, as they are a bit anonymous compared to the other famous seven kinds...
Fyrstekake; a Norwegian classic cake improved
I have to admit, fyrstekake was never my favorite Norwegian cake. The versions I grew up experiencing were always very dense, sometimes dry and most often too rich to even enjoy more than one bite. Perhaps this is why I've been hesitant to make it regularly. I am...
