Brune pinner literally translates to 'brown sticks'. Doesn't sound very romantic or catchy now, does it? But I promise you, even though they sound a tad boring, once you taste these cookies, you'll fall in love. They are some of the most popular modern Norwegian...
The first Christmas cookies I typically eat, are pepperkaker. These crispy, flavorful gingerbread cookies are seen everywhere across Norway from early December on to the end of the year, and a clear favorite among many kids and grown ups alike. Nothing creates the...
I'm always experimenting with different recipes for cardamom buns, because well... I'm sorta obsessed with them. I can't think of anything equivalent in the baking world in any other country that is so simple, versatile and satisfying. If it were up to me, I'd eat...
As a Norwegian food blogger having lived in the United States now for well over 25 years, it always warms my heart to meet people who love Norway, as well as the food, drinks, culture and history. It surprises me how many are actually familiar with, and still...

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...
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...
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...
