TO SPEAK OUT AND TO STAY SILENT

Vigdis Hjorth

Vigdis Hjorth has been at the centre of Norwegian literary debate during the last year. She's stayed silent herself, for the most part. Now she speaks out, indirectly but pointedly, in four essays about Alf Prøysen and Rolf Jacobsen, Agnar Mykle, Bertolt Brecht and Alexander Kielland. Life and truth, guilt and responsibility are central themes. Throughout invigorating readings, she examines how writers appear and portray themselves.

COOKING FOR ONE

Adam Bjerck / Kim Arne Hammerstad

This is the cookbook for those cooking for one!Adam Bjerck says that even if you are dining alone, you should dine healthy and well!This is a must-have cookbook for anyone living alone, with recipes for one protion of food. It focuses on fast - and not to expensive - courses that make the cookbook perfect for busy everyday life. Practical week menus make it easy to plan and shop, and make sure that you do not end up with unused ingredients in the fridge. The recipes can of course be doubled - for couples or that extra guest. This book has a great concept: Recipes for dinners for one person, along with a shopping list for the whole week. The book covers 15 weeks with four meals per week, and at the back of the book you can find recipes for smaller dishes like soups, salads, breakfast/lunch, smoothies and baked goods. The shopping list is written so you should only have to shop once a week to get everything you need – and also so you can avoid wasting any leftovers. The book is very clear, with a table of contents that lays things out week by week and two recipe indexes at the back of the book: one sorted alphabetically and one sorted by theme/category. All of the dishes seem feasible to make, you’ll want to cook for yourself, and it’s easy to follow the recipes. This book hits the nail on the head with its concept! Six out of six stars VG

Everyone Can Bake

Elin Vatnar Nilsen

In Everyone can Bake, confectioner and blogger Elin Vatnar Nilsen shows you how to make all the classic nordic treats – from birthday cream cake to pavlova, chocolate cake, kringle and Kvæfjord cake. The book covers the nine basic recipes that any cake baker must know. Here, you'll learn about sponge, custard, form cakes, profiteroles, pastries, meringue, sweet yeast dough, nut base, cheesecakes and chocolate cakes.Each basic recipe is assigned its own chapter, with thorough descriptions and step­by­step photos, in addition to several recipes that are based on the basic recipes and develop them further. Between the chapters you'll find fact pages with information that's useful no matter what you're baking – about eggs, sugar, yeast, flour, cream, butter, chocolate, leaveners and spices, as well as a decoration school of its own!Everyone can Bake is unpretentious and simple enough for everyone to understand, but also sufficiently advanced and challenging for more seasoned pastry makers.‘In my view this is one of the best books about baking that has ever been published in Norway, and it holds it´s own against many of my english languaged baking cookbooks. I suggest that the publishers contact a good translator as soon as possible, translate it to English, put a sticker on it saying "Nordic Treats" and then watch the book ride the nordic wave to the top of the charts.’ HOBBYKOKKEN.NO
