Chocolate Scones

As I had some dark chocolate I wanted to use up, I made chocolate scones based on a recipe from a cookbook called "Sjokolade" (Chocolate), but I'm unsure who the author is though.

Chocolate and scones, what could go wrong? Not much really, as it was a fairly easy recipe to make, so I'll most certainly make it again some time. The only thing I did differently from the actual recipe was that the scones was supposed to be cut into squares, but I decided cutting them into those "pizza slice"-slices instead. Regardless of shape, they tasted good, which is the most important thing.

Why Am I Starting This Blog?

I've been thinking about starting this blog for quite some time and I decided to bite the bullet and actually do it. Why? Because even though Instagram is fun and all that, I felt it didn't quite work out for me the way I wanted. Anyway, let's go back to some time last year. As a book dragon who loves to cook and bake, I naturally have quite a collection of cookbooks (perhaps no shocker there), but I rarely used them. Some? Yes, but most certainly not the vast majority. So I went through them all with page markers (those small sticky post-it style things) and marked each page where I found a recipe I wanted to try that looked interesting and/or tasty. It was a bit labour-intensive as I've got quite a collection of cookbooks, but it was still fun to do. I slowly started working my way, making some of the recipes, while also posting on Instagram and creating a hashtag for the project ( #kristinscookbookproject ). As I mentioned, Instagram is fun and all that, but with th...

Salmon With Spinach and Horseradish Sour Cream

Sorry that I haven't been good at updating here lately, but I'll play a bit catch-up starting today, posting about some of the things I've made in the last couple of months. First off, salmon with spinach and horseradish sour cream, which I made from a Norwegian cookbook called "365 sunne middager på en halvtime" edited by Ingrid Espelid Hovig (roughly translated as "365 healthy dinners in less than 30 minutes). Obviously, based on the title of the cookbook, it's a dinner that's fairly quick to make, which is always a good thing. When I baked the salmon in the oven, I decided making it a bit more interesting flavour-wise by adding pink pepper. Overall, it was an okay dinner, and the flavour of the horseradish gave it a nice little kick without being overpowering.

Making Chicken Satay From Scratch

Alright, it took a while before I got into gear and actually started writing more blog posts for this blog and I'm sorry about that. Anyway, earlier this week I ended up making Chicken Satay from scratch, thanks to a recipe I found in a Norwegian cookbook called Alt Asiatisk 2 - Enkelt, raskt og godt by Elisabeth Le. She also writes the food blog called Alt Asiatisk , so if you understand Norwegian and enjoy various types of Asian cuisine, it's worth checking out. As I didn't have any skewers, I couldn't put the pieces of chicken on those, but it made making this dish a bit less of a hassle in one way. Personally, I found the recipe fairly easy overall and most, if not all, ingredients could be found at either a regular grocery store or at least a well stocked supermarket, which is always a bit neat. Regardless, the end result was really tasty and I'm sure I'll make it again some time. The only thing is that one need to plan a bit ahead, as the chicken needs to...
