In Denmark, we have a tradition of waking our family member with a birthday song, presents, and a nice breakfast (with Danish pastry of cause) on their birthday. This is a tradition I really love. And I think this is the root cause of my love for breakfast – being with family during a delicious…
Super simple berry smoothie made with lots of different berries. I used frozen berries, since they are not in season in Denmark right now. This smoothie was perfect as a refreshment for a workshop I did a couple of days ago. And, alike all other smoothies, it’s super easy to make!
Chia pudding is really a simple delicious breakfast or dessert. If you want the extra creamy, you can also add a little vegan yoghurt. I like when it tastes a bit of cinnamon, but it can easily be omitted if you are not into that. The chia pudding tastes especially good with stewed rhubarb. You…

Dreaming back to my visits to Greece i thought about this dessert that I have had a couple of times. It consists of Greek yoghurt and some sweet pickled grapes. After looking it up on the internet, I came to the conclusion that it’s called “Grape spoon sweet” or “stafyli glyko” in Greek. So, here’s…
This is an attempt at a healthier carrot cake, perfect for your New Years Resolutions! The cake consists of sweet potatoes and bananas instead of sugar, which give a hint of sweetness without being as sweet as granulated sugar. The cake unfortunately still contains a lot of butter, which would be nice to eliminate in…
At Christmas you can buy these everywhere in Denmark. They are e.g. eaten during breakfast or at afternoon tea. They really taste like Christmas, too: With cardamom, cinnamon, candied peel, and raisins in the dough and sugar and nuts on top. I love how Christmas dishes are always full of spices!
