This blog post was inspired by a fun tradition in Norway every May 17th, the country’s Constitution Day: organizing a champagne breakfast! On this day, Norwegians gather in the morning to huge tables of foods from smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with dill, potato...
This time of year I’m definitely drowning in tomatoes, and you won’t hear me complaining for a second about it. Tomatoes are one of my favorite things about summer to eat and to grow. They are colorful, super sweet, juicy and of course really good for you too…But the best thing I’ve made to date with tomatoes is a simple frittata made with Just Eggs and zucchini and corn from the farmer’s market.
The food that a large number of people have the most difficulty giving up when going vegan, is not read meat—but in fact, eggs. Shakshuka is a one-skillet recipe traditionally made with eggs baked in a tomato and red pepper sauce that is spiced with cumin, paprika, and cayenne. I’ve replaced the egg with both tofu and sliced sweet potato before with great luck, but this time I used Just Eggs and was incredibly happy with the result.
The time of the year has come yet again when Norwegians either flock to their cabins in the mountains or vacation homes by the sea, read crime novels, eat oranges and chocolates called kvikklunsj (think Kit Kat but 10 x better). Many people take an entire week...
Among all the many wonderful plant-based alternatives to eggs, chickpea flour is perhaps the most amazing one. Chickpeas on its own is a high fiber legume, which helps heart health, regulate blood pressure levels, stabilize blood sugar, lower inflammation, improve...
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...
I've been speaking of and writing a lot about baking, cookies and cakes around the holidays as being a very big Norwegian tradition. But what about the savory dishes? Don't they get any love? Of course. In fact, this time of year, long, leisurely breakfasts we call...
I've long been trying to perfect a vegan cinnamon bun, or "kanelboller" or "kanelsnurrer" as they go by in Norwegian. Luckily it's not hard to veganize them, as they don't need eggs nor dairy, and omitting these ingredients will not affect neither the flavor nor the...
What is 'rundstykker'? These 'round pieces' (=rundstykke) of bread are buns made with various cereals and grains, and are popular all throughout the Nordic countries, particularly in Norway and Denmark. As bread lovers, Scandinavians love to play around with...
I've been having so much fun transforming traditinal Norwegian dishes into plant based alternatives these past few years, and while some have not turned out the way I had hoped or envisioned (I have high standards), others come out so much better than I had ever dared...
