The "French" bread we make most often here in Denmark, is a typical white bread that is quick to make, but taste of very little. It is not a classic long fermented bread recipe, and can have a tendency to taste slightly yeasty. If you want to avoid that, then this recipe is closer to the classic French bread. Slowly fermented and with a pre ferment. It is not really any more difficult to make, but it must be planned a little ahead of time, as there are some long fermentation periods along the way. So for some people it is impractical for everyday use. But great for a weekend where you want to make "the ultimate French bread".

The white bread is a classic. No doubt about that. Although I have baked "No Knead/The world's best bread" for years, the French bread somehow still leaves the kitchen a lot faster when I bake that :-S So there must be something to it that other loaves simply does not have. I often use this simple and quick recipe that never fails, and does not require anything more than a conventional oven to make. It provides a finished bread in 2 hours.

A Danish cake classic. Heavy and spongy. Once again a variation on a pound cake. It's actually just a sponge cake with marzipan. But once again, it is a variation that is worth the effort.

There are few cakes that look as inviting as Macarons. Baby chocolate "burgers" with cream in the middle. In various colors even. They are not as difficult to bake as they might seem, and they are a great addition on any coffee table. Or as an accompaniment to a dessert. Ice, panna cotta etc. My personal favorite is this version with chocolate.

I used to think that carrot cake was an abomination. A dry and boring things that women ate while feeling guilty. But Karin's recipe is not at all healthy, and it does not taste so either. It tastes juuuust right. So I thank her for the recipe.

Video recipe - Gordon Ramsay is crazy about chocolate fondant. And it looks extremely sophisticated when you serve it. First it looks like a plain ordinary muffin, the when you cut it, hot delicious chocolate crème comes pouring out.
It is a bit amusing as it is really just chocolate poundcake that is not fully baked. So it is pretty easy to make, but can be a bit difficult to bake just right.

Video Recipe - The classic home copy of the baker truffles and rum balls. I do not like the almond extract that is traditionally used. So I use a little marzipan instead. And yes. That is grandmother Marie from the family who gave her name to the recipe. She most likely has the recipe from some womens magazine. But I do not want to dig too much into that. It is much more pleasant to live with the illusion that it has just magically been passed along by the generations.

This is an exceptionally good and rich chocolate cake. Actually it is a classic pound cake where the flour has been replaced with chocolate. But the lack of flour only makes it seem richer.

Video Recipe - A mixture of meringue and raspberry jam on a base of cake. Yeah I know ... marmalade in grandpa's beard may sound a little yuck, but it's not a cake that becomes very old in my house. I have no Idea why the cake is called "Grandpa's Beard", but it is the direct translation from the Danish name.
