Hello summer! While I still need to have a hot meal at least once a day- it has been rather warm in our heat trap of a flat (not complaining! Though I probably will start in a few days), that I have been craving something that feels a little lighter and does not involve me…

Char Siu Rice – Sweet Sticky BBQ Pork Rice
These last few weeks have been a bit of a drain on me if I am being completely honest. Sure I had a few shifts which were long and more tiring than usual, but it doesn’t explain why I have been feeling so out of it. It’s more likely a combination of my postponed trip…
One pot lazy day quick Sambar
Sambar is a South Indian lentil based dish (curry/stew?) which is vegetarian and has a little sour kick to it. It usually has vegetables like moringa (drumsticks) and eggplant, is flavoured with tamarind making it a little sour and is served with idli, dosa or rice. While traditionally it takes a bit more time and…
Turkey Fried Rice
Not sure what to do with your leftover roast dinners? Give this a go! With roast dinners and turkey sandwiches growing out of our ears – I was dying for some asian food. However, with me trying to prioritise my time being split between exam prep (it never ends in medicine) and playing with new…
Nama Chocolate – Japanese Chocolate Truffles
If you have never had Nama chocolates, you are missing out! I only discovered them in the last few years, thanks to two lovely individuals and have not looked back since! Nama chocolates are essentially a Ganache and are basically truffles – just a lot less messier to make! The most well known brand would…
Risalamande – Danish Rice Pudding
While everyone always looks forward to desert during Christmas, I think the Danes took the anticipation to another level. While I never really cared for rice pudding as a child (I love it now), I always looked forward to it regardless and that was because of the “Mandelgave” or to translate “Almond present”. Mandelgave is…
Lamb Varuval
No Christmas is complete without a curry! While Christmas has always been my mother’s domain, living in Asia and having Christmas with my appa’s side of the family meant some things were tweaked ever so slightly. In fact we would have two Christmas dinners some years, depending on the anticipated crowd. One with just the…
Brune kager
I always think of my mormor when I have brune kager. The first time I had it was during Christmas and as far as I can remember, they were one of her staple Christmas bakes. So when my mum inherited her recipe book, I was ecstatic to find out that she had written down her…
Mince Pies – The Grand Finale?
As I mentioned last month, Dan & I decided last year that we were going to make our own mince pies this year, including the mince meat. So as planned, we made our mince meat well in advance and let it do its thang. I have to say while we were hoping that the different…
Aebleskiver – Fluffy Danish Pancake Balls?
Now that we have made our Gløgg, we have to have aebleskiver. While its name translates to apple slices, this recipe has no apples and they certainly aren’t slices. Instead what you have are these light and fluffy pancake like balls which are served with sugar/icing sugar and jam. It goes perfectly with a warm…
