American style omelette was not something we ate very often at home when I was a kid. But in many ways it is the best way to eat eggs. Unlike scrambled egg, it will be browned and get more flavor. It is a delicious little stuffed egg pocket of flavour.

Video recipe - Simple, quick and ... delicious. All right. In my family there is, some ambiguity about that. But for us Danes in our forties, it was one of the first "exotic" foods we got. Curry and rice. Just how foreign could food get? Well ... we are fortunately a lot wiser now, but pork meatballs in curry sauce keeps hanging on and is still a favorite. Even among some individuals in the younger generations.

Cottage potatoes are raw potatoes that are cooked in a frying pan. It's a good way to fry 2-4 servings of potatoes. However, it is not a good way to cook large quantities of potatoes. If they lie in layers on the pan, then the upper potatoes are cooked, and the bottom ones are in high risk of burning.
There may be raw potatoes, hidden among the other ones and that can really make pan fried potatoes into a sad affair. Otherwise, you must use a really long frying time on large portions to be sure that all the potatoes are tender. At the risk of some getting burned. So here are my tips for making them.

You can often buy hummus in supermarkets and specialty stores. Most of those I do not care much about. So I have bribed and begged my middle eastern friends for their recipes. From those I have made a humus that suits my taste. The recipe looks simple, but it took a LOT of experimentation to find the right balance.

Video Recipe - The best piece of meat on the pig is the neck roast. Tender and fat marbled. If you cook it properly, it becomes so tender that it can be pulled apart with two forks. A short stay in the grill make for a a mild bacon flavor.
This recipe is ideal for guests. Most of it can be done a long time in advance. It's just as easy to make four as it is to make one. It's hard to do wrong, and everyone is surprised at how well pork can taste. It is also excellent for dinner later, in a good home-baked bun.

Video Recipe - This is one of my best basic recipes. I use it both to make creamy winter soups and "creamed / puréed" root vegetable (mash). The only difference between the soup and the mash is the amount of butter and water. You can even change the vegetables following very simple rules, so the recipe can be varied endlessly.

Though I live in Denmark I visit Berlin very often. One of my favourite places there is the street restaurant Rogacki. It's very noisy, you stand up and eat and the food is made right next to you. It is a wonderful place! One of my favourites there is "Garnelen mit pinienkernen". I have tried to copy it here, and I believe I am pretty close.

Video Recipe - Basic soup / julienne soup is a simple vegetable soup which is very similar to the Italian minestrone. With a few changes it IS a minestrone. But I do usually this simpler version, and I'll just throw in whatever extra ingredients to spice it up a bit.

If you've wondered what that wonderful sticky and heavy sauce that gets "dripped" on your plate when you are at the restaurant. Then it's probably a demi glace. It usually takes more than 24 hours to prepare, but the result ... oh la la. Very little sauce goes a long way. Luckily, it's excellent to make in advance and suitable for freezing. If you want to surprise your guests and really show who is "the king of food", then this is the way. And the 24 hours? For the most part it just takes care of itself.

148 Boxed Chorizo
When I cook fried vegetables, make Spanish omelettes, hash from leftovers, etc. I love to add small pieces of chorizo to them. It provides an incredible amount of flavor with small amounts of meat. But chorizo is a very expensive sausage to use in frying. Therefore it is a good candidate for making your own spicy chorizo stuffing, that you can just put into a box in the fridge and use as needed.

Isn't it enough to just bake potatoes once? well sure, if they just have to be tender, but if you also want them to taste great, rebaked potatoes just have a bit more oomph. You simply take a baked potato and bake it gratinated/au gratin. Which you can do close to when they have to be done. They can also be made a day in advance without loosing any flavor, so they are excellent for guests.
