Let me make a prediction: There will be lots of lawsuit in 10-20 years against TV producers from people that participated in reality TV. Seriously, some of these young people will grow up, become wiser, and realize that the TV producers deliberately made them look as stupid as possible to make money of them during […]

Palak Paneer – Beta
Posted in Cooking, Indian on August 13, 2013 | 6 Comments »
I am looking for beta testers! You can have those for a recipe can’t you? My engineering background has a tendency to kick in sometimes even when it comes to cooking. There is even an if statement and while loop in this recipe. I guess there is still a mediumgeek in me. Anyways, lets discuss […]
Chicken Ceaser Wraps with Balsamico-Honey Vinaigrette
Posted in Cooking, Wraps on July 10, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
It has been pretty insane at work lately. I have been doing my job plus filling in for someone else and have had to rush off to both Amsterdam and Paris on short notice. I haven’t had many exciting dishes lately thanks to lack of time but I did manage to get in both frog […]
Which cuisine requires a toothbrush at the office?
Posted in Cooking, Korean on June 8, 2013 | 1 Comment »
Yeah, it is a question for you! Which cuisine is the one that has so much garlic and chili that it requires you to have a toothbrush at hand all the time. Even in the office and so easily available that you trust your co-workers not to mess with it when you leave it […]

I wont give you some crap about this being the perfect thing to bake when you happen to have few bananas about to go bad on your hands. Seriously, closet housewives with full time jobs and kids know better than to believe it is a realistic scenario that you happen to have the energy […]
The Easiest Tapas Dish Ever!

So onto the issue of baking chorizo. Sounds like the most simplistic thing in the world and it really is. Well, as long as you know one simple detail. You have to bake it at a low temperature. I burnt quite a few chorizo sausages (very expensive affair in Norway) before I dug up this […]
Mojo Verde

It is quite common in the Nordic to venture south to Spain on vacation. They even have specific terms for these trips “Sydentur”. Directly translated that would be something like “South trip”. So I was quite old when I went on my first one, well into my twenties and yet my maiden voyage there felt […]
On The Border Salsa Copycat

I posted this recipe on my old mediumgeek blog that I have now retired. I thought I should repost it here since I occasionally get asked for the recipe and it is something that I make again and again and never seem to tire of it. Discovering this recipe has really made my life bearable […]
Udon Noodles with Tempura

I visited Japan a few years back and got to eat plenty of nice sushi and even try Kobe beef. Strangely I had one of my biggest culinary discoveries on the flight over there. When I entered my flight, I didn’t even realize that I had been upgraded to business class until I stood there […]
Jumping in at the deep end of food blogging

I like cooking and have since I was a little girl. Not to say I am a necessarily a good cook but I have thankfully learned some things over the years of trial and error. Nobody has been permanently harmed in the process so all should be well. I have had the dream of having […]
