Sherbet
is the most simple ice creams to make. It takes literally 5-10 minutes of work if you prepare a little bit in advance. Of course you can make sherbet without an ice cream maker, but they are so much better with one, so I strongly recommend them. Especially the type with built in compressor/freezer.

The classic brown sauce must be made with a heavy dark stock with the right herbs. Then it will be good! A few stock cubes and a spoonful of sauce darkener just doesn't cut the mustard.

I often use stock in my cooking, and I like to have pre-cooked chicken leftovers in the refrigerator. So about once a week I make a batch of pressure cooker stock of chicken. It is much easier and faster than the traditional way, and it tastes excellent.

Some times the fermentation times in your recipe just doesn't fit with the schedule you have for the day. Wouldn't it be nice to know how to change the times then? As a rule, I would also like to use as little yeast as possible when I bake, but it must also fit into everyday life. So it'd be nice to be able to change fermentation times by adding more or less yeast. I have had some difficulty finding the exact info on what influence the yeast have on the fermentation times, also in relation to how much fluid there is in the dough. So here's a little biology report with my own experiments. And with lots of videos of dough that rises:-S I'm sure this article is the most geeky I have ever made ... but I was curious.

Video Recipe - My favorite recipe for leg of lamb. The best taste and fairly quick preparation. What's not to love about it? The marinade and grilling results in a very good and strong flavor. The trick is that a the leg gets more surface when the bone is removed. And the surface is of course where most of the flavor is.

This is a brown sauce on steroids. Apart from the fact that it takes 10 hours to prepare the stock, it takes almost as long to prepare the sauce finished afterwards. It is "the" classic brown sauce which is known from Escoffier's cookbooks. Restaurants use it rarely more because they found it too difficult. But I think it's all worth the effort. The best "brown sauce" I have tasted.

Video Recipe - A müesli without oatmeal is a pure luxury. It is easy to make and it tastes good to boot. However, it is an advantage if you are able to use a kitchen machine with a vegetable slicer. Otherwise, it will take its own sweet time.

Video Recipe - I had churros first the time when I was 14, on a holiday in Spain. It must have been good because I have long forgotten my first kiss, which I think was roughly around the same time but I can still remember my first funnel cake with sugar.

When I cook fried vegetables, make Spanish omelettes, hash from leftovers, etc. I love to add small pieces of chorizo to them. It provides an incredible amount of flavor with small amounts of meat. But chorizo is a very expensive sausage to use in frying. Therefore it is a good candidate for making your own spicy chorizo stuffing, that you can just put into a box in the fridge and use as needed.

As the Danish cuisine is partly inspired by the French, stocks and sauces form the base of many dishes. So most Danes love a good sauce. Unfortunately, there is not the same love for cooking a stock and spending a long time on it. This is a recipe for a "fake" sauce which you can make quickly, and which tastes like an *ok* gravy. But more importantly, each ingredient can be used to improve other sauces. So you can make a weak sauce much better. I also explain what each ingredient does for the sauce, and explain a lot about taste in the process.
