Cooking with The Happy Chef

Jan Henrik Gladkokken Syversen

One thing’s for sure, good food makes you happy – really happy. In this book, Jan Henrik Siversen, aka the Happy Chef, shares his best recipes for regular days and parties.

He also includes well-known cocktails and drinks, but mixed the way he likes them best, with a little added touch that’s liable to get you dancing if you’re not careful. The Happy Cook offers a delicious beef sandwich, Wiener schnitzel with gorgeous garnishing never goes out of style, you’ll always enjoy fried sweet potatoes with masses of sauce and cheese, and fish and chips with home-made tartar sauce is truly terrific. When you get out the barbecue, why not try juicy spareribs with your own barbecue rub and BBQ sauce. But grilled pork neck is also one of the best things you can stick on the grill, preferably served up with home-made coleslaw – that’s happy food right there. And so are barbecued clams with a delicious tang of lemon and fresh herbs, or grilled squash with a delicious yoghurt dressing. The book offers tips and tricks for making your own spice mixes and barbecue-rubs, as well as pastas, home-made ice cream and delicious, slightly sinful cocktails. This is a cookbook that will make you really happy, especially when the sun peeps out and the mood is high. Make yourself good happy food the Happy Chef way. Jan Henrik Syversen runs the Happy Chef blog and is a sought-after course tutor. He has taken part in MasterChef Norway, has cooked up a storm on Norwegian breakfast TV, has been a tasting judge on several TV2 programmes and is great at creating a buzz around his projects.

Haakon the Hero King

Haakon the Hero King

Carl Emil Vogt

This is a book about H7 the symbol, about how King Haakon was able to become the greatest national hero modern Norway has known. When Norway was expected to yield to Nazism, the resistance mustered behind H7. The King’s ‘No!’ has become the stuff of legends since 1940, and King Haakon holds a unique place in Norwegian history. The book draws upon a wealth of sources from both the occupation years and the post-war period. There are countless facets to Haakon 7: the people’s king, the democratically elected king, the communists’ king. At the same time, he is said to have opposed the politicians’ plans to scale back the army before the war, and the Conservatives relied on him when they believed the Labour Party was failing the country. In short, he was everybody’s king.

The School of Life

Inge Eidsvåg

Is Norway a better society to live in today than in the 1950s? Inge Eidsvåg believes it is – on the whole things have gone in the right direction, at least from the point of view of material standards of living. At the same time, we are in the process of sawing off the branch we’re sitting on. Eidsvåg’s generation is the first to have become aware of the climate crisis – and they are the last ones who will escape its impact. That is the backdrop to this report from the school of life, the school that may make us a bit wiser but ultimately takes the lives of all its students. The School of Life is Inge Eidsvåg’s journey from the realm of childhood to the narrow paths of old age, and a settling of accounts with Norwegian society, from the 1950s to the present day.

Psychology at Work

Carina Carl / Rebekka Egeland

Management is psychology, claim psychologists Carina Carl and Rebekka Egeland. You will always bring your personality with you into your management role and that is where psychology gets interesting – because we humans aren’t as rational as we’d like to think. Every new situation is unique, just as every human being is unique and everyone’s environment is constantly changing. The realisation that times may change but humans don’t mean that everybody should know something about how our brains work, what primary and secondary emotions are, and how relationships affect all communications and every management style. Early relationships are also significant when it comes to how you talk to yourself and manage yourself. And you must manage yourself before you can manage others. Psychology at Work places less importance on the theories and models of organisational psychology than on the development of personality, relationships, communication, life choices and values. In that respect, the book is just as interesting for anybody with a job and a workplace to go to as for managers. Carina Carl is a psychologist working on many platmorms, amongst them the Noia podcast. Rebekka Egeland was Young Manager of the Year in 2018. The two of them are passionately dedicated to explaining psychology to ordinary people in an easy-to-grasp way and both have written several books. This is the second book they have written together. They each run their own practices.
