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

All the Light and All the Dark

All the Light and All the Dark

Brynjulf Jung Tjønn

Pregnant Hildegunn calls on her mother Vibeke for the first time in many years. By this action we are thrown into the story about Vibeke and her childhood in a small village on the West Coast of Norway. Gradually we draw closer on a dramatic happening that has come to put its mark on both of the women. All the Light and All the Dark (Alt det lyse og alt det mørke) is a story about coming to terms with the past, communicated in a beautiful and sensual prose. "The Brage Prize-winnning author Brynjulf Jung Tjønn writes engagingly and drivingly good about lack of care in his new novel. (...) Much of the quality of the novel is in the concrete, simple and clean language that suits stories and situations that are now easy to communicate. Sometimes, when I feel that the narrative is about to become teardripping, the melodramatic tendency is weighted up by a sharp cut style that does not paint the dramatic highlights in uunneccesary broad strokes. Tjønn has composed a driving and engaging story."VG "Tight and intense."BERGENS TIDENDE

According to the Sea

Lasse Wardenær Fosshaug

With his debut novel Over the Bridge (Over brua) from 2013, Lasse W. Fosshaug showed that he masters the classic worker's novel. In his second book, Fosshaug takes the proletariat with him into the dystopia. According to the Sea (Alt etter havet) takes place on two levels: We meet the protagonist Ivan Ivanovitch as he arrives in our era after a journey through time from a relatively close future. He quickly finds lodgings in a hotel in town, and work in the local aluminum factory. Everything is going according to plan. And while life goes along as usual in the little village, with payday beers on Fridays at the Chinese restaurant, downsizing at the factory and football matches on TV, the reader gets to know more about Ivan's life before he ended up in a village in Norway – and you start to sense what direction the world as we know it is going in. This is a book about the little people in the big story. About the individual's role in space and time. The book reads as a thriller, with an innovative mix of worker's novel and dystopian sci-fi, and the reader is challenged to reflect on the role technology plays in our lives."Lasse W. Fosshaug has written a novel that manages to entertain, and at the same time take its reader dead seriously."MORGENBLADET"Relevant Science Fiction has often been used to comment the present. Fosshaug does this, and he does it well. (...) A novel that at its best almost erases the border between fantasy and realism."NRK "In Lasse W. Fosshaugs novel the end of civilisation is in the making (...) It is the way he paints the picture of the riun of civilization that make the story glow, with a matt, grimy shine of almost existential melancholy."KLASSEKAMPEN

Anorectic

Ingeborg Senneset

An honest, unflinching and unsentimental account of the illness from the inside.How does a patient with anorexia and obsessive-compulsive disorder experience psychiatry? What kind of battles are fought inside a person that wants to end an illness that since childhood has acted as a lifeline and the same time been a lethal threat? What does it take to let go? How much does weight really matter? Through admissions to three different psychiatric facilities for a total of three years, Ingeborg Senneset documented the slow task of regaining control over her own life. Through meetings with the best and the worst sides of health care, paradoxes and conflicts both on an interpersonal and private level, we get the whole story. Anorectic is an honest, ruthless and unsentimental depiction of the inside of the illness and the hospitals by an author that has the unique combination of being a patient, journalist and nurse. "It is not a matter of writing less about eating disorders, as some people has suggested, but simply about writing better. The hard topics should be brought into the light, with all it´s complexity. Writing better means staying away from idealising and romanticising eating disorders, and rather bring out the dry, boring and dangerous facts in a precise way and using a clear language. This book i guaranteed to be free of romanticising."Finn Skårderud, Psychiatrist, professor and writer. "Heartbreakingly insightful, mercilessly self-exposing and brilliantly written about suffering from anorexia. (...) All together a useful book in the treatment of all sorts of compulsive disorders. Ingeborg Senneset is ruthlessly self biographical. Some parts are tragically funny, others will make you cry blood. Every word teaches us something. " Six stars out of six! ADRESSEAVISA "Ingeborg Sennesets dark howl from hell has despite all the pain and anxiety become a documentary that work like a guiding light for all those others. (...) Relatives, therapists and anyone who has ever wondered how this sickness is experienced. Anyone with the slightest fragment of empathy in them should read this book, to understand more about mental illness."AFTENPOSTEN"A merciless, unpleasant and intense story. Ingeborg Senneset writes in a way that makes us want to read. And hopefully there is something to learn."MEDIER24.NO

You Came from Light

Britt Karin Larsen

We meet a girl living with foster parents. She doesn't understand why her mother didn't want her.

This is a strong novel about how loss can open up other possibilities, other adventures. But perhaps you shouldn't find the answers to everything? Do you lose something if you aren't longing for something? «Beautiful and restrained»STAVANGER AFTENBLAD «Tender and beautiful about rootlessness» FÆDRELANDSVENNEN «Britt Karin Larsen moves in a well known landscape in this little novel about lonely children and other unhappy destinies (…) well done, nicely paced and efficient. Not least she creates a believable narrator out of the main character Anni.»VG

Farewells with Judith

Hilde Lindset

In Hilde Lindset's new cycle of short stories, we follow author Judith through different phases of her life. She is described through relationships, both near and far. Often the more fringe meetings can say something just as substantial about her – or even reveal something more than those closest to her can see. Judith is seen quite differently in different environments, which may be because we meet her in different phases of her life – from when she is young to when she is old – or that she, like all people, has different roles – as mother, lover, or hotel guest – but most of all due to the fact that Judith is a very complex person. For her daughter, she is absent; for her friend, she is seemingly rude and superior, but also somewhat pitiful; and for the German theater director, she is simply a plaything. But whatever situations we find her in, we get an insight into something deeply human. Hilde Lindset has a remarkable ability to communicate who we are to each other, and to showcase the forces that drive us to act the way we do.
