Video Recipe - A mixture of meringue and raspberry jam on a base of cake. Yeah I know ... marmalade in grandpa's beard may sound a little yuck, but it's not a cake that becomes very old in my house. I have no Idea why the cake is called "Grandpa's Beard", but it is the direct translation from the Danish name.

Video Recipe - The dough used for baking cream puffs, eclairs and profit roles is called a "choux" dough in French. The interesting thing about it is that you cook it in a sauce pan, and then mix in the eggs. The dough has the special feature that it largely becomes only crust when you bake it. So there is room for a lot of fillings. Although I have also seen it just covered with icing and used gingerbread man.

Video Recipe - A delicious jelly of fresh juice really is a cheap trick. It can be a dessert in itself, or fruit pieces on top of a pie can be brushed with it to make'm shine. It can keep the sliced fruit fresh, on top of the cake. You can put a thick layer on top of a cake and make it brighter, more beautiful and delicious. Moreover, jelly was one of the first molecular gastronomy foods that was made. In the olden days it was only the nobles who got it. Now we can too.

Video Recipe - Homemade puff pastry is in a whole other class than the one you buy. There is no comparison. It is also relatively easy to do once you've tried it a few times.

Video Recipe - Eggs, for me, is one of the most fascinating cooking ingredients that exist. They are used both in the savoury and the sweet cuisine, and has been part of our diet always. They are healthy, they taste good and they are cheap. Especially for the creamy stuff eggs are indispensable. Since it is a subject that is dear to my heart, I thought I had better write an article about "eggs in soft mixtures".

Video recipe - I use vanilla sugar in many of my recipes. But I have always been distrustful against that storebought stuff. So I have been experimenting with making my own. It turns out that it is better than what you can buy commercially, and as I use my discarded vanilla pods for it, it is practically free.

In the US it is folklore that the cops eat doughnuts. In Denmark we have the same thing with this cake. The lemon moon. It is typical a factory made cake. But it is much better when it is homemade. Like this.

164 Brownies
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!

A veritable explosion of chocolate. A muffin that contains three kinds of chocolate filling. Dark, milk and white. The various chocolates makes this recipe tastes completely different than a normal chocolate cake. And then of course there is the orange to give it a little acidity.

Without a doubt the Americans' greatest contribution to the culinary arts :-) Chocolate Chip Cookies. This is the "original" American recipe. It's also known from an episode of "Friends." It's only the filling I've changed a little bit, in order to suit my own taste buds better.

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 - My favorite recipe for muffins. Easy to make. They are large, moist and tasty.
In the past I did not eat muffins. I knew them only as small pieces of sponge cake with paper to be pulled off. Boring and tedious.
But when we go abroad, the family is thrilled to get into Starbucks and get cocoa and muffins. Their muffins are also large moist and tasty.
I then made this recipe inspired by them. And now the family will rather have "our own" muffins.

Cheese cake - An American cheesecake is made from real cream cheese, and in contrast to the "cheese cake" we usually eat in Denmark it is baked. It's not a cake I bake very often for only the family. It is a dense and heavy cake where a single piece or two generally is enough. So a whole cheesecake never gets eaten here. But it is a fantastic cake. Especially when there are guests to share with.

The classic apple pie is easy, fast and delicious. There is a reason it is a classic. It is also a good way to use apples that have become a little too soft and wrinkled. With a dollop of sour cream or cream is perfection.

For large homemade ice cones the cones should obviously be homemade. I considered buying a waffle iron for this, but they make too small cones. Then I tried doing them in the oven, but it was hard to control the final result. Now I make them on a pan. They are only slightly more difficult to make than normal pancakes, and they require almost the same equipment.
