If you have learned to cook meat from traditional cookbooks, or from your mother's recipes, then all you know to about it is wrong! You are using too high a temperature and too short a time. Most recipes for cooking meat dates back to when there was wooden stoves with only one setting. "Hot". Our modern stoves have made those recipes dated. The best way to roast meat and make it really good, is with a long roast, at a low temperature.

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.

When I went to cooking class in public school, 6th grade I think, the most exciting dish we were allowed to make was osso buco. It really was pretty exotic to us. There were tomatoes in the sauce and there was also a garlic in it. And wine ... just how foreign could it be for a Nordic teenager. Even the term "teenager" was exotic and foreign to us, I should probably add. But Osso buco is one of those dishes that is as modern today as it was then in the 70s. So you know you it's a classic.

There are many ways to make a brine for the various uses. The only thing that is absolutely necessary is salt and water. This recipe is a general brine that never goes wrong. You can then make your meat more or less salt by allowing it stay longer in the brine. This is also a starting guide to marinating in brine. With only this guide in hand, you can get very far, just using these guidelines. So enjoy yourself. Brine is fun! Unlike "fresh marinated" chicken from the supermarket, no water enters the meat when it is marinated in brine. The high salt content in the brine actually make water seep out of the meat. Chemical processes called "diffusion" and "osmosis" is to blame. You can easily google more if it interests you.

I had never thought of the traditional danish sausage "medister" as anything special. Until I got Astas homemade version. It was different, juicy and flavourful. It kept the basis of a classic "medister", yet still managed to be much better. It was a whole new experience, that opened my eyes to the possibility that medister could be something other than the rather tasteless experience I had previously been used to.

Veal shank is the same piece of meat that is used for Osso Buco, but a slow braising with a sweet port wine and a good stock puts that meat into a completely different class. It is also a dish that practically cannot fail. If you like meat that is so tender that it falls apart when eating, and has a dark strong beef flavor. Then this is just the ticket. The long list of ingredients can look somewhat daunting, but the basic principle is to just brown the meat and the vegetables, and then braise / let it simmer it in some wine.

When you buy a whole duck there is often a strange little bag with wet stuff inside it. If the stuff is lucky, it'll be put into a roasting pan, where the duck drippings can drizzle down onto them, enabling you to make a duck sauce. But I think it's far better to use the stuff for a pâté.
