Heartfelt tribute to culinary heritage

Get inspired to make delicious traditional Norwegian food!

Chef Live has worked in gourmet restaurants both in Norway and abroad, but one of her favourite culinary experiences is to come home to her grandmother Ella's traditional food, made from scratch. These are dishes Ella has made throughout her long life, based on high-quality ingredients, often sourced from the nature around her.

In this book, you will find recipes for traditional griddle baking, such as flatbread, lefse and more. You’ll learn how to juice and pickle everything from redcurrants and blackcurrants to crowberries, sea buckthorn, and cloudberries. Make your own vinegar from gooseberries and fireweed, preserve the season’s fruit and berries, and brew garden teas from flowers and herbs.

From time-honoured cakes and desserts to classic everyday dinners like meatballs, stews, cabbage rolls, fish balls in curry sauce, pollock cakes, and herring—this is a heartfelt tribute to Norwegian culinary heritage, inviting a new generation to taste, treasure, and pass it on.
