How to make breadcrumbs

Tina: I don’t use breadcrumbs a lot in my cooking, but at some point I always need them. For instance, I have a great recipe for Mac n’ Cheese that requires some breadcrumbs on top. My husband (the “health freak”) pointed out to me that almost all store-bought breadcrumbs are full of unnatural ingredients. It got… Continue reading How to make breadcrumbs

Recipe: Apple and Blackberry Pie

My good friend Estelle is an awesome baker. She is an expert in crust, and whether it is for a pie or for a quiche, she knows how to work the dough better than me. She once made this beautiful apple pie with blackberries, and it was the best that I have ever had. I got my hands… Continue reading Recipe: Apple and Blackberry Pie

Recipe: Rosemary Spiced Nuts

My friend Allison brought a spicy nut mix to our place the other day and I was addicted and completely obsessed with these nuts immediately, so I decided to try to recreate the mix. The savory, spiciness and the sweetness together are a perfect combination. This is also a great recipe to make around Halloween… Continue reading Recipe: Rosemary Spiced Nuts

Recipe: Nuoc mau – Vietnamese caramel syrup

Nuoc mau (pronounced ‘nook mao’, originating from south Vietnam) is the irresistible caramel syrup that is key to many traditional Vietnamese dishes. It is especially important in stews and for marinating seafood and meat, such as the caramelized grilled pork used in Bánh mì thịt nướng (Vietnamese sandwich with grilled pork chop). The syrup gives these… Continue reading Recipe: Nuoc mau – Vietnamese caramel syrup

Recipe: Cold Rhubarb Soup with Ice Cream and Figs

Tina: The first time I heard the term “rhubarb soup,” I couldn’t help but feel skeptical about whether it could possibly be a real, appetizing dish. I was introduced to this culinary curiosity by my Danish friend Anne. She’s the same friend who once mistook a toilet brush for a dishwashing brush while showing her… Continue reading Recipe: Cold Rhubarb Soup with Ice Cream and Figs

Recipe: Pannukakku – Finnish Oven Pancake

When it comes to making brunch, one of my simple pleasures is cooking something that looks and tastes great, but is really easy to make. It’s hard not to love pancakes for brunch, but if you are like me, you prefer to start with a more savoury breakfast followed by a little something sweet afterwards… Continue reading Recipe: Pannukakku – Finnish Oven Pancake

Recipe: Bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with feta cheese

Over the years I have tried many variations of bacon-wrapped dates, and they are usually delicious. But once I tried the version created by my new friend Nate on a birthday celebration trip to upstate New York, I completely fell in love with this snack. Nate’s secret was to stuff the dates with feta cheese.… Continue reading Recipe: Bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with feta cheese

Recipe: Pickled Red Onions

Somehow this little side dish is always a hit because sometimes you just need a little bit of something pickled. Red onions are of course always great with a burger or at home we like to eat it on bulgur since bulgur is a bit bland, on our tacos, beans, or even adding it in… Continue reading Recipe: Pickled Red Onions

Recipe: Heirloom Tomato Salad

This heirloom tomato salad is such an easy little dish to make. It is great as a side dish, but you can also serve it with burrata slices of mozzarella and bread, as a delicious lunch. Heirloom tomatoes are very tasty. Buy them locally grown and preferably organic. I like them in mixed colors it makes the salad… Continue reading Recipe: Heirloom Tomato Salad

Recipe: Breakfast Smoothie with Berries, banana and Chocolate

Tina: There is nothing better than to wake up to a beautiful sunny morning, and the best way to start my day is with a smoothie. My mum drinks two big smoothies everyday, one for breakfast and one for dessert, and she has great hair and skin for age 60. I hope that I will… Continue reading Recipe: Breakfast Smoothie with Berries, banana and Chocolate
