Danish Fastelavn buns (custard filled buns)

Being Danish living in the UK, I am actually quite lucky that I get more holidays to celebrate as Denmark and the UK don't have all the same holidays, but I quite often forget. For instance in Denmark we have a day where we eat duck/goose, called Saint Mortens eve and a day where we eat a bun/roll called a Hvede, called big Hvede day.
Where as here in England there is pancake day, St. George day  and Halloween. 
The Danes have however started taking on Halloween, though it wasn't around when I was young. We do have another very old traditional holiday where kids dress up, called Fastelavn, normally celebrated around February. Going back to the origin of this holiday, it was to celebrate the beginning of the fast, that would then end with easter celebrations. 

Oreo now dairy free in EU???

Apparently so! I did a blog post almost 3 years ago, click Here to read, about how there is a difference between American Oreo's and European Oreo's, but it seems no more. 

Back then I contacted Nestle EU to ask if they where going to make the EU Oreo's dairy free as well, but their answer was a bit fuzzy, but from what I could interpret they were going to start using the american recipe in EU at some point.

Chicken Liver Pate

This liver pate is so easy to make, taste amazing and will convert any non liver eating person.

It is great for canapés on cut out german rye bread, as a starter served with toasted brioche, or just as a great lunch, on some bread or in a sandwich.
My personal preference is on some good german rye bread topped with either, red onion chutney, sweet pickled beetroot or gherkins (or both and with rucola, like picture).

My Pizza dinner

 

News update: Basilico no longer offer the lactofree cheese as an option, unfortunately.

This was my dinner last night, I tried out one of the new pizzas from www.basilico.co.uk , that has put 2 of their pizzas on the menu with the option of ordering it with Lactofree chese.

I decided to try out the Margherita, because I am of the opinion, that if a restaurant can get the simple dishes right, they are an excellent restaurant, and I was defiantly not disappointed. This pizza literally took me back to my childhood, where we had an Italian pizza place nearby, and on special occasions we would get a pizza from there. I would always order the Margherita and the pizza I got from Basilico tasted just like the one I got when I was a young.

Hot Chocolate for autumn weather

So haven’t been blogging for a long time, and the reason is I have been moving. We have moved in to an old house that needs a lot of updating, especially the kitchen needs to be replaced, so there might not be a lot of post in the near future as well.

At the moment we are so busy fixing up the house, that there isn’t a lot of time for us to cook anyway even if we had a new kitchen. So at the moment most of our meals are whatever is easy and quick, but I still try and eat healthy. So if you would like for me to share easy but healthy meals with you let me know in a comment below.
