Yes, I’m here with another brown cheese dessert recipe! I’ve always wanted to make a recipe with Norwegian brown cheese and peanut butter, because American visitors often remark that our brown cheese tastes like peanut butter cheese. So when I found Reese’s Pieces peanut butter candies at my local Normal shop, I knew I had to try adding them to brown cheese cookies. And wow were these cookies delicious! I added melted brown cheese to the cookie dough, so they’re a bit like peanut butt...| Scandinavian Cookbook
Some family friends were in Bergen last week, which was of course a great excuse to bake a cake. But I was also leaving for Portugal in a few days, so I didn’t want leftovers. So I decided to make my favorite Norwegian apple cake, which is small enough to finish (almost) in a sitting with a few cups of coffee. Plus now that it’s August I’m already getting in the autumn spirit (well, aside from this very summery trip to Madeira). And autumn means apples! Since I had leftover almond paste...| Scandinavian Cookbook

When I was growing up, I would visit my grandparents in Norway every summer. And each summer I would optimistically try a slice of brunost, or Norwegian brown cheese, hoping that this was the year I finally loved it. And I have noticed with foreign visitors that Norwegian brown cheese is one of those foods people tend to love or hate. Most people do love it, but I’ve seen a few people quite shocked by the taste. It’s unique! But if you don’t immediately enjoy it, I’m happy to report ...| Scandinavian Cookbook
Did I just buy a big block of Norwegian brown cheese so that I can add it to all my baked goods this Easter? Why yes I did. Because one thing I’ve learned in my decade living in Norway is that just about every dessert tastes better with brown cheese. While not technically a cheese, brunost is made from leftover whey from the cheesemaking process. The whey is boiled down until it caramelizes. In Norway you can buy brown cheese made both from cow’s milk and from goat’s milk, with slightly...| Scandinavian Cookbook
If you’ve ever been to Norway I’m sure someone has excitedly offered you brunost, or brown cheese, to try. And while you probably loved this sweet, fudgy cheese, there’s also a chance you thought it was too strange too eat. While not technically a cheese brunost is made from leftover whey from the cheesemaking process. The whey is boiled down until it caramelizes. In Norway you can buy brown cheese made both from cow’s milk and from goat’s milk, with slightly varying flavors. And wh...| Scandinavian Cookbook
Since I was a little kid fiskesuppe (fish soup) has been one of my favorite Norwegian dishes. So of course when I moved to Norway as an adult fiskesuppe was already a staple in my repertoire. Fish soup is a Norwegian favorite, and there are so many different versions here. Some are quite complex with lots of ingredients (maybe I’ll share one of those in the future), but this fish soup is simple and easy to whip up on a random Tuesday night. And of course living in Bergen, I eat fish soup at...| Scandinavian Cookbook
Skoleboller, or school buns (also called skolebrød, or school bread) are probably Norway’s most beloved buns, both by Norwegians and international visitors to Norway. Norwegian skoleboller are made with a sweet cardamom dough, filled with vanilla custard in the center, and then coated in icing and dipped in coconut flakes. They’re so popular that they’ve even made it to the Norway Pavilion at Epcot in Disney World! But recently a new version of school bread has taken Norway by storm. L...| Scandinavian Cookbook
As a child I was always so excited when my family would spend Christmas with my Norwegian Aunt Hege, because she made the best Christmas cookies. And she’s so much fun and I love her, of course. But also her Christmas cookies are amazing. And my second favorite cookies she made were chocolate risboller. My number one favorite were her lemon sandnøtter. In fact I loved her Norwegianrisboller so much that I remember as a kid asking my mom for Hege’s risboller recipe so that I could make th...| Scandinavian Cookbook

Here are my favorite Scandinavian kitchen essentials that I think would make wonderful gifts! Norwegian Waffle Iron I think most people who’ve tried Norwegian waffles will a...| Scandinavian Cookbook
