The picture is really not doing this tart justice. It tasted delicious, and as I said as I was making it – there are very few ways to make this go wrong. It is chocolate and raspberries, for Heaven’s sake… 😉 I used the wrong size of mold, so the pie crust was a bit… Continue reading Chocolate Raspberry Tart
Banana Cake
We had some bananas that were turning brown, and rather than cut them up and freeze them for smoothies – we decided to make banana cake. When I was growing up, we had this neighbour who had the most amazing banana cake. It was soft, moist and incredibly tasty. This isn’t her recipe, but it… Continue reading Banana Cake
Biggest loser
The danger of watching The Biggest Loser, in all its different forms, is that you keep expecting to drop the same insane amount of weight in a week– and unless you have the time to exercise several hours a day… it’s plain just not going to happen.

Baptism of the twins
The royal Danish twins will be christened in Holmens kirke on April 14. This is the church where Crown Prince Frederik was christened, where Queen Margrethe was christened and where Margrethe and Prince Henrik were married. Due to the fact that the family had ties to the church, it was also believed that Christian would… Continue reading Baptism of the twins
