Jam All Year Round

Matilde Skår

Jam can be made at any time. You do not need to go out berrypicking or have berries in your garden. Pop along to your local fruit and veg shop, buy what you need and make what you want. This book will change your perception of jam. What about cherry or mango jam? Or green apple, rhubarb or mint? A combination of pomegranate and apricot is also great! Knowing exactly what you are eating is also a plus. There are no suspicious additives here. This book contains 62 recipes, and you can make new varieties with the basic recipes by combining different types of berries, fruit and vegetables. You will never look at strawberry jam the same way after trying it with chilli and pepper. And if you want to leave out the sugar, there are other options. Jam is a popular gift – make an extra portion when you start!

Uno, Dos, Tres – Taco!

The Flying Culinary Circus

Tacos are as diverse a dish as pasta, simpler than sushi and can be more exciting than tapas because you can create so many of your own flavour combinations. Most people make one particular type – adding prepared herbs and spices to taco shells and piling these on a plate with cheese, sour cream and mince. In Mexico, the homeland of the taco, you'd be hard pressed to find such ingredients. The Flying Culinary Circus hope to provide you with inspiration to make your next taco experience even better than usual, and one step closer to the real deal. Not only that, but they provide tips for exciting combinations with dishes from other culinary cultures. So far The Flying Culinary Circus have toured 47 different countries, and on their way they have plucked inspiration from all of the world's varied food traditions. Now they're hoping to share some of this. They've taken the taco on a world trip, meaning they know just how to bring us simple, tasty tacos – flavour, zing and zest in uno, dos, tres!

Window onto Another World

Anne-Kristine Augestad

This is the gripping story of a woman who thanks to helpers on the other side, finds her identity as a clairvoyant.Anne-Kristine Augestad has heard voices and seen inner visions for as long as she can remember. For many years she tried to suppress them, worried that she might have a psychological illness. As the signs that she will have to change the course of her life grow steadily more disturbing, she begins reluctantly to believe in her own talents and that there is life on the other side. Through conversations with the people there, whom she calls the soulful beings, she slowly but surely changes her attitude towards herself and understands how she can use her gift to help herself and others.The author suffers a series of traumatic events which nearly kill her and which challenge her understanding of what it is to be human. Conversations with the people on the other side convince her that despite the incomprehensible challenges, there is a future for her. The reader is taken through 24 years of Anne-Kristine's life, from an existence weighed down by powerlessness, doubt, fear and sorrow to a world filled with awe, humility, thankfulness and love.

A Year in the Woods

Torbjørn Ekelund

As a boy he used to dream of hazardous expeditions to unmapped regions. Thirty years later he came to understand that the dream would never come true. He did not have the guts. And besides, there were no unmapped regions left. But nature was still there. He decided to make his dreams real, just downscale it a bit. He packed his backpack and spent twelve lonesome nights in the woods, and the result is this book. A Year in the Woods is the antitheses of great expeditions. There is no hunger or famish, no dangerous predators, no fighting for life and death. But it is a book about seeing nature and about our idea of being outdoors. It is a book about the changing of the seasons, about finding the closer parts of nature and about how little it actually takes to experience an adventure. But first and foremost, it is a book about one man trying to find the way back to the forest where he spent so much time as a child. The era of great expeditions is over. Now is the time for micro expeditions.A refreshingly modest style with liberating little observations in an appealing low tempo about occasional escape from the daily grind.DAGBLADET Thorbjørn Ekelund has written a little pearl of a book about twelve micro expeditions. It is incredibly inspiring to read about how a need to be outdoors has resulted in twelve nights under the stars, one in each of the years twelve months. Ekelund is a true inspiration to all of us who are in a time clinch and would want to spend more time out in nature.NRK

Berlin

Torgrim Eggen

This book is a portrait of a city and a work of modern Cultural history. Torgrim Eggen follows the fate of Berlin from the fall of the Kaiser in 1918 to the present day. In the 20th century, Berlin was the world's focus – from the Revolution through Nazism and the Cold War to a reunited city. There is still no European capital that concerns us more. This book portrays the city's brutal history, but also some of its extraordinarypersonalities like Marlene Dietrich, Rosa Luxemburg, Berthold Brecht, Willy Brandt, Albert Speer and David Bowie. The modern history of Berlin is a tale of many new beginnings, both in politics and in architecture. And the vision for the city is always the same, whether its origins are in the empire, the national socialist or the communist period: to control and overcome the changeability of Berlin and show it off as stable and lasting, indeed, eternal.From a personal point of view, Torgrim Eggen gives us an insightful and nuanced account of an irresistible city.‘The spectacular and quaint prevail in this book, but the new journalism style is actually quite fitting to Berlin's temperament and dramatic history. ... It is essentially a well-written and knowledgeable book. … Eggen is one of Norway’s few golden pens, an author who neither is capable of nor willing to write in a boring fashion.’Klassekampen ‘An interesting book, with emphasis on a Western perspective. ... He writes so well and thoroughly about the creation of Bowie's masterpiece ‘Heroes’ (both the song and the album) that tears appear in the corner of my eye.’Dagbladet

The Black Thread

Øyvind Strømmen

When terror hit Norway on the 22nd July 2011, the freelance journalist Øyvind Strømmen had already spent several years studying right-wing extremism on the internet. During the confused days following the explosions of the bomb, his was the voice that could offer some kind of perspective on these incomprehensible events. In Det mørke nettet (2011) he showed that the attitudes and hatreds manifest in Oslo and on Utøya on 22nd July could be traced back into our own past and to right-wing extremist parties and groups all across Europe. In Den sorte tråden, Strømmen follows radicalism on the right further back in time and gives an overview of this form of extremist ideas, from the fascism of the 1920s, via the late 1960s skinheads – in Norway, the 1990s boot-boys – to the contrajihadism of today. Strømmen is still a young man, but has already established himself as one of the leading authorities in this field. In 2011, he was voted the “Freelancer of the Year”. In Den sortetråden, he is adding to the foundations of what looks certain to become a long and important career as a writer. ‘It is warmly recommended to all who want to understand more about extreme actions and extreme lines of thought. But, better read it in day-light.’ “Dice points: 5 Fædrelandsvennen‘A clear account for those who want to grasp what European right-wing extremism is all about ... Today’s politicians must find the courage to confront worlds of thought that are so hostile to mankind. Strømmen is a model of clarity on this topic. He deserves gratitude for this important book.’Vårt Land ‘A well-written, educational and very well-informed book and, besides, exceptionally timely.Klassekampen‘The strength of this book lies in its detailed presentations of different movements, from the socially acceptable anti-Semitism of the 19th century to today’s marginalised but noisy contra-jihadists. Strømmen delivers solid documentation.’Dagsavisen ‘Strømmen has completed a massive task in order to establish a narrative that exposes the continuity of political violence, including in Norway. It follows that Den sorte tråden is a very important contribution, not only to public understanding, but also for those who write about Norway’s history.’Aftenposten ‘… reliable and engaging about political extremism.’Stavanger Aftenblad ‘And Den sorte tråden meets one’s expectations. Strømmen’s historical overview is at best very thoroughly backed by research into primary sources, full of detail and easy to read. The author has a striking ability to follow up lines of thought and perceive ideological parallels across country boundaries. Few others in Norway combine Strømmen’s insight into the history of right-wing extremism, political mass movements and the radical internet forums with his journalist’s instinct and eagerness to investigate the news of the day.’Minerva ‘Øyvind Strømmen has written and interesting and useful book’Dag og tid

Henriette Schønberg Erken

Henriette Schønberg Erken

Maria Berg Reinertsen

Henriette Schønberg Erkens Store kokebok (1914) is a monumental work of international scope, its collection of recipes ranging from brioche with goose liver to boiled mutton with cabbage. Up to 1951, twenty editions had been printed and more than 200, 000 copies had been sold. Schønberg Erken was the national strategist who entered by the kitchen door, became the Norwegian Queen of Cookbooks and dominated the food philosophy during the first half of the 20th century. Based on the recipes, Maria Reinertsen tells the story of her life, but also of social change and the hunt for the proper ingredients. Recipes are ideals, not accounts of what really happened. Erken’s autobiography demonstrates that women of her day had options in life other than the domestic science, college and house work that she herself prescribed in her books. It was possible to take on official roles, become a bestselling author and a celebrity cook. Through the life and writings of Henriette Schønberg Erken, this biography comes close to the moral (and hypocrisy) not only of the subject’s time but also our own. ‘Reinertsen approaches this monument in Norwegian cooking literature not only from an economist’s point of view, but also from an essayist’s. A seemingly stately topic dealt with in an experimental, simple and insightful way.’ NRK ‘Henriette Schønberg Erken’s books, lectures and articles changed the lives of housewives, and perhaps all of society... Everything from egg consumption statistics for Oslo families to glossy reproductions of the first colour pictures in Erken’s legendary cookbook are to be found throughout.’ VG ‘Economist and journalist Maria Berg Reinertsen reviews the life and cookbooks of great Norwegian chef writer Henriette Schønberg Erken, and shows how food is politics, how housework is ideology... This is one of autumn’s most interesting non-fiction releases because it has the potential to give the reader new insight into eyeryday life, and because it undermines established truths.’ DAGSAVISEN

You'll meet Magnus the garden mouse, the picnicking hippy girls, and the bees that buzz around in the trees. There are also plenty of ideas for lovely big throws to be created from your leftover yarn.
