12th year out of Denmark and still very Danish…

Yes this summer it will be 12 years since I moved here to the United Kingdom yet I still find myself strangely split between the different countries.

But mainly when we talk about food…

I find myself embracing salad cream and English curries but I still have not come to terms with such foods as marmite and Christmas puddings.

My kitchen is a mix between Jamie Oliver & “Boller i karry”.

I am increasingly sharing Danish and non-Danish recipes with other Danes on Facebook and now I have even managed to “invite” a Danish machine(with thanks to my Mor/Mum) where I can bake very Danish æbleskiver into my kitchen..…

And with GREAT success!

Maybe this should not come as a surprise to many but I’m NOT married to another Dane and it is not all half Danish kids who loves traditionally Danish food such as rugbrød and risengrød.

A pancake-like dough that is baked into balls and eaten with jam and icing sugar…..and with this machine they are baked @ the table so it is a similar experience to sharing a fondue or raclette meal…..SO nice!
