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.

"Vegetarian meatballs" Yeah ok. It may be a description I have made up myself, but it is not entirely wrong. Falafel reminds me a lot of meatballs. I am very fond of dishes with chickpeas in general. But there is no doubt that this is among my top two ways to make them. Humus being the second favourite.

It can be a little tricky until you get the hang of it, but when you have learned to make it, it is one of the quickest and easiest sauces to make at all.

Brownies basically just is another variation of a pound cake. It has a bit more sugar. Some of the flour replaced with nuts, it has a bit less baking powder and added cocoa. But these small changes are enough to make the brownie a cake of its own. It is dense and heavy, more confetionery than cake. Sweet and strong. Lovely!

If you have learned to cook meat from traditional cookbooks, or from your mother's recipes, then all you know to about it is wrong! You are using too high a temperature and too short a time. Most recipes for cooking meat dates back to when there was wooden stoves with only one setting. "Hot". Our modern stoves have made those recipes dated. The best way to roast meat and make it really good, is with a long roast, at a low temperature.

Video Recipe - A lot of us, by now, have a pasta machine, but if you are really hardcore, you make it by hand ;-) A rolling pin and a knife is all you need. The funny thing is that it does actually not take any longer to do it by hand ... but it's quite a bit harder on the arms. Ok. A machine is easier, but it's fun to do it all by hand.

In general, home ovens have a lot of problems. Most of them can be addressed with a few tricks though. One of the best tricks is using a baking stone. You can buy baking stone in many places, but they are rarely optimal. So I made up some tricks myself and now I can bake bread with the best.

When making soy milk there is a residue called "okara". If you roast it golden, it tastes like roasted almonds. It is therefore particularly suitable for a homemade "granola". And you, and the kids, will love it. It will not be a we-have-duty-to-eat-leftovers kind of thing, but a really good granola.

Video Recipe - Rösti are made with cooked potatoes, so I use it often as "leftovers" instead of the typical fried potatoes, hash and so on. But it is an accessory that everyone likes, and it has the advantage that you can add bacon, onion, cheese, apple or fresh herb. Which promises it over the other simple potato dishes.

Video recipe - When browsing paleo sites I have often seen recipes for almond buns and oopsies. I found that the almond buns looked interesting. So I have been experimenting with those a lot. This is the recipe I have developed. They are a lot easier to make than regular buns and they taste better too. So I make them often now.

If you've wondered what that wonderful sticky and heavy sauce that gets "dripped" on your plate when you are at the restaurant. Then it's probably a demi glace. It usually takes more than 24 hours to prepare, but the result ... oh la la. Very little sauce goes a long way. Luckily, it's excellent to make in advance and suitable for freezing. If you want to surprise your guests and really show who is "the king of food", then this is the way. And the 24 hours? For the most part it just takes care of itself.

Almond flour is useful in many recipes. Homemade marzipan, petit fours, French macaroons, pie bottoms, paleo cooking etc. It is a little time consuming, but simple enough to make with a blender or coffee grinder.

Video recipe - it is well known that we danes have a hampering for danish pastry. Even our breakfast bread is often made from this. There is the classic "poppy" (birkes) that is a non sweet danish pastry with a load of poppy seed on top. Hence the name. And there is the "copenhagen poppy / tea poppy" where the pastry is a bit sweeter and there is almond remonce for filling. It is not quite a cake and not quite a breakfast roll. But very good none the less.

Video Recipe - Everybody loves french fries, and I'm certainly no exception. This is probably one of the recipes I have spent the most time on perfecting through my cooking career. I have tried out in double- and triple-fried. Blanching at 84°C (183°F) for one hour followed by deep-frying at a relatively low temperature, cooling and refrying at a high temperature etc., Etc. In short, I have tried all the methods I've read about. Along the way I learned a lot about what is important for good fries and what is not. The four necessary main points I have written into my "kvalifood law of fries" which is in the notes of this recipe. but most importantly, I have developed a french fries recipe that suits my taste 100% and works every time. Yielding the best and most crisp fries at all possible.

Video Recipe - For me, the hardest thing to do for christmas eve was always the duck sauce. If you make it like a restaurant sauce, it will not have the correct consistency and taste the we danes know from christmas eve. So the trick is to find a balance both in the time it takes, and the ingredients you have to use. This recipe has a few variations both the traditional "everyday Christmas Eve" and the "fine dining Christmas Eve."

This is a cake recipe I have from my mother. A recipe she learned in the south of France. I do not understand why it is not a classic cake in all bakeries, as it is better than most that can be bought there. They taste is awesome and it is awesomely easy to make.

Video Recipe - The best piece of meat on the pig is the neck roast. Tender and fat marbled. If you cook it properly, it becomes so tender that it can be pulled apart with two forks. A short stay in the grill make for a a mild bacon flavor.
This recipe is ideal for guests. Most of it can be done a long time in advance. It's just as easy to make four as it is to make one. It's hard to do wrong, and everyone is surprised at how well pork can taste. It is also excellent for dinner later, in a good home-baked bun.
