Recipe: Apple Crumble with Almond Paste and Granola

Apple crumble is one of those cozy desserts that I just can’t get enough of, especially during winter and fall, when it’s cold outside. My recipe has almond paste, which tastes delicious together with the apples. In Denmark, I would use Danish marzipan (best marzipan in the world, if you ask me), but in the… Continue reading Recipe: Apple Crumble with Almond Paste and Granola

Recipe: Mini Tarts with puff pastry, fresh tomatoes and arugula pesto

Tina: Puff pastry is such an amazing thing! Honestly, I’d never try making it myself because it takes a lot of time. It’s basically made of loads of dough and butter, and you have to do it at just the right temperature. But luckily, you don’t have to go through all that trouble – you… Continue reading Recipe: Mini Tarts with puff pastry, fresh tomatoes and arugula pesto

Recipe: Crispy sunflower rolls

Tina: The traditional Danish weekend breakfast always consists of fresh baked morning rolls from the bakery. The Danes traditionally eat the rolls with butter, cheese, and/or jam. We call them “rundstykker”, meaning round pieces. Since I don’t have rundstykker available where I live, I have to make my own. I don’t mind making them –… Continue reading Recipe: Crispy sunflower rolls

Recipe: Coconut and Marzipan Macaroons

I recently had one of those days where I craved for something sweet and was in the mood to bake. I remembered that I loved eating coconut macaroons (‘kokos toppe’ in Danish) when I was growing up in Denmark – they were one of my favorite baked sweets. It struck me that I hadn’t eaten… Continue reading Recipe: Coconut and Marzipan Macaroons

Recipe: Homemade Arepas

I have heard a lot about arepas from my Venezuelan friend Indira – she has promised for years to make them for me. She finally made them recently and they have fascinated me ever since. Arepas originated in Venezuela, and are used prominently in modern day cuisine of Venezuela, Colombia, and in other Latin American countries. They… Continue reading Recipe: Homemade Arepas

Recipe: Danish Rugbrød (rye bread)

When I first moved to New York, I realized how much I missed Danish bread. It was kind of frightening to me that store bought bread would not get moldy for more than a month, whereas bread in Denmark would typically only last 4 to 5 days. This is the trade off in convenience with… Continue reading Recipe: Danish Rugbrød (rye bread)

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
