Denmark

The smallest of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark is considered the geographical crossroads between Europe and the far north. Flat and fertile, with one large peninsula and 450 islands surrounding Copenhagen, Denmark is an enchanting mix of pastoral farmland and bustling towns. Danes love to eat, and eating well is an essential ingredient in Danish culture. As a nation of farmers, seafarers, and merchants, Danish tables are traditionally laden with various pork products, cheeses, delectable butter, salamis, potatoes (introduced from France in 1720), pickled herring, smoked eel, assorted rye and wholegrain breads, simple berry desserts, cakes, and puddings. Despite their proximity to the sea, Danes are infatuated with meat, particularly pork and bacon. Beer and snapps are also imperative. In fact, Denmark is the largest beer-drinking nation after Germany. Buttery, flaky Danish pastries and smorrebrod or open-faced sandwiches are among Denmark’s gifts to gastronomy.

Cinnamon Ice Cream

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2009 by racincake

yummers- great consistency and flavour, took ours a bit longer to harden than we'd planned for.. but was worth the wait.

Chocolate Cupcakes

Reviewed on Jun. 9, 2009 by racincake

Amazing- easy and super yummy, I followed the recipe exactly and had rich and moist cakes that held together well with perfect spongy texture.. we even ate them all without any topping. I found trying to fill the cases 1/4 or 1/3 full of batter gave me cake mountains and filling them halfway made perfect for cupcakes to be decorated. This is going to be my new choc cupcake recipe from now on. Thankyou!
