Fastelavnsboller (semlor, semla, bolle med krem, bun with cream)
Fastelavnsboller (semlor, semla, bolle med krem, bun with cream)

I Sverige spiser de semlor hele vinteren. I Norge kun i forbindelse med fastelavn. I Sverige spiser de den med mandelfyll og pisket krem. 

I Norge med krem og/eller syltetøy. Jeg foretrekker helt klart den svenske varianten. Både fordi jeg synes de smaker bedre og fordi jeg helst vil spise dem ofte.

Glühwein -vin chaud -gløgg
Glühwein -vin chaud -gløgg

Gløgg trenger ikke bare å være en juledrikk. I Frankrike, Italia, Tyskland og Sverige drikker man den hele året, og ihvertfall hele vinteren. Her er en variant som passer perfekt etter en skitur eller en dag i bakken. Vil du ha den uten alkohol, kan vinen byttes ut med en solbærsaft som ikke er for søt.

Perfekt kost for nordboere!

En perfekt søndagsdessert - the perfect Sunday dessert
En perfekt søndagsdessert - the perfect Sunday dessert

En deilig dessert som selvsagt kan brukes både sommer og vinter, men jeg synes den passer ekstra godt når det brenner i peisen og er kaldt ute.. og helst etter en lang søndagsmiddag med kjøtt som har stekt på svak varme hele dagen, kanskje litt suppe og et glass vin... etter en skitur. Har du ikke peis; tenn stearinlys! Mange!

My garden cafe´s fabulous crisp bread

At home I bake this for Christmas and easter. I love it! (and my husbond too, I actually have to hide it). We`ve had it in the café in the summer too and it´s very popular there as well. Eat it with a soup or as it is with butter.. or with cheese. It is some work (but of course worth the effort!) -make a double portion while you, after all, is doing the job.

Gnocchi

Gnocchi

Beeing like a potato, in Norway means that a person can do many different jobs -they are versatile. No wonder the potato is used in this metaphor; the potato can be used in so many ways! Gnocchi is one of them and one of my favourites...

Dough:

4 large potatoes

3-4 cups flour 

2 eggs

salt

 

Sauce:

150 gr butter

3 garlic cloves

a handfull fresh sage 

parmesan 

salt 

 

Boil the potatoes until tender (but still firm). Drain and mash them with a fork or potato masher. Combine the mashed potatoes with the eggs and half the flour. Make a dough and add more flour if necessary. Knead it and make small rolls on a floured surface. Then cut it into small pieces.

Boil salted water in a large pot and put in some of the gnocchis at a time. Let cook for a couple of minutes -they rise to the surface when they are finished. Let them drain. You can serve them like this with a sauce, but I prefer to fry them afterwards. Then fry them in half of the butter and add even more butter in the end with chopped garlic and a handful of fresh sage. Let fry for another minute. Top it with flake salt and parmesan. Mmmmmm!
