Sherbet
is the most simple ice creams to make. It takes literally 5-10 minutes of work if you prepare a little bit in advance. Of course you can make sherbet without an ice cream maker, but they are so much better with one, so I strongly recommend them. Especially the type with built in compressor/freezer.

Video Recipe - A müesli without oatmeal is a pure luxury. It is easy to make and it tastes good to boot. However, it is an advantage if you are able to use a kitchen machine with a vegetable slicer. Otherwise, it will take its own sweet time.

Video Recipe - When using puff pastry you often have leftovers. Instead of throwing them out, you can make Palmiers. Small cute palm leaves. And yes. It's worth the effort. You could probably buy half a sack full in the supermarket for no money, but they will not be made with butter.

Video Recipe - Crème Brûlée is *the* classic French dessert. It is an edible toy for adults. A crispy caramel top. A creamy blubbery filling. It is simple to make. Uses few ingredients, and it's always a bit of a primal show-off doing the final work with the gas burner at the table.

Video Recipe - Classic Nordic food. A round cake baked in a special pan, that all Scandinavians know and love. At least all Danes. Good with both icing sugar, jam or syrup. The same recipe can be used to make the small thick American pancakes you always see eaten on tv and films. You can also use it to make a layer cake with.

Kimchi is the Asian variation of the european sauerkraut. Various vegetables are salted and fermented with natural lactic acid bacterias. In contrast to the European sauerkraut it is made of asian cabbage and with a lot of spices. I really like the classical sauerkraut, but kimchi I can eat straight from the jar.

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.

A plain chocolate cake with icing can be a little dry. Sometimes even a little boring. The Sachertorte is in a class of its own though. With its tangy jam, soft chocolate mousse and the heavy chocolate coating.
At one point I was getting a bit tired of chocolate cakes. Yes it is hard to believe, but it can happen. Fortunately, I discovered the Sachertorte which extended the live of chocolate cakes in this home.
This recipe is a classic for a reason. It is actually old and classic enough that it is not using chemical leavening. It raises with the help of the whipped egg whites alone.

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.

What most of us think about when we say baking, is putting the into the oven and to pull it back out again. Hot and delicious. But if you understand the process you can pull out your bread and have it be even more delicious than by luck.

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.

I got him to give me the recipe and show me a few times how make it. So this is actually his recipe.
