GRØD - The porridge Bibel

There it is - my first ever cookbook. And I couldn't be more proud that doing it with Lasse and Grød. It's been a fun process that involved long hours and gin, rum and whisky to keep up our spirits - but now having the actual book in my hands - I'd do it again, and I can't wait to get on shooting more books and more food stuff.

The book is filled with deliciousness, yes I can vouch for that! Lasse is an incredible guy with a huge talent for innovation and cooking - and I cannot thank him enough for bringing me in on this project. The book is available in both Danish and English through GRØD webshop and I urge you to get on!

Coquo - I Cook (in a jar)

So I never got around to tell you about my new found friends! Long story short, I met a frenchman called Alexandre when interviewing for a room in an apartment, and we immediately noticed each others keen interest in food. So when I did not the room, I decided to send him a business card with a greeting on the backside telling him to contact me if he was interested in some sort of collaboration, you never know right? Spring became late autum and a text from Alex made my phone buzz!

He and his friend Julius had come up with an idea - selling good quality, home cooked and traditional food in glass jars. Eat right away, or take it home and reheat! No need for transferring the food onto a plate, or eating of some cheap plastic crap. Isn't it brilliant!?

The are called Coqou, visit their page for more info here!

Anyway, I took some photos of the dishes they tested out in Torvehallerne - and tommorow I am meeting up with them again to shoot the dishes they will be serving at Pecha Kucha CPH #22. They will also be doing a short presentation of their project - so if you are interested in food entrepreneurship and other cool ideas - drop by on wednesday!

PS. they will be serving the most amazing dish on wednesday, I had the honor of testing it with them. So damn good!

PPS. I know a lot of good stuff will come form these guys, so do like them on Facebook!

Twosomeness in Torvehallerne

Torvehallerne (read: hipster farmers market) in Copenhagen is so much more than a place to get rare and good quality ingredients - it is also a place where you can share coffee, cake, food and conversations with with a friend, lover or family. Actually that is just as much what it is!

So to inspire you to go hang with your best friends I have gathered some Twosomeness pictures from people hanging at Coffee Collective, Gorm's, Café Rosa, Mini Paté and all the other cozy places in Torvehallerne!

The best sandwich in Copenhagen @ Torvehallerne

Don't we all love sandwiches? They are easy, fairly cheap, and if made well extremely tasteful. However finding that one unique sandwich takes a while, especially in a larger city with tons of shops selling sandwiches in all kinds! French baguettes, italian ciabatta or panini, american bagels, danish ryebread - you name the rest.

BUT the next time you are sandwich needy, do what I and tons of other people in Copenhagen do and drop by the french speciality shop Ma Poule in Torvehallerne - because they have that one sandwich you always want to eat!

I give you, the french baguette with a ton of confit de canard, crisp arugula and sharp dijon dressing. No really, you should try it!
