Christmas isn’t Christmas for me without a lot of delicious things to eat and drink… Being Danish, I was brought up in a home with many lovely Christmas traditions! One of them was enjoying a lot of homemade Mulled wine (or Danish Glögg, as we call it) during the festive season

Louise — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 09:25:44 +0000

Christmas is almost here - and with everything, that is going on in our world right now, we spend A LOT of time in our home. Two adults, one toddler and a Norwegian forrest cat named Dolly Parton… That’s us! My husband is French, and he loves to cook with our daughter, Clara. When they spend time in the kitchen, things can become a bit messy! Luckily I have found a solution, if something goes wrong!

Oh... How my life has changed within a year! And I could not be more happy! I still can’t believe how lucky I am, when I hear my little babygirl refurnishing inside my belly (she is very busy these days) It is Christmas and the time, where I usually become a little bit sentimental...

A Thai alternative to the traditional Christmas meal

Louise — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 11:51:11 +0000

I love Christmas food... I really do! But sometimes I find the traditional servings a little bit boring - and the thought of tasting a more exotic version certainly makes me very curious! Some of you know, that I am a big fan of Restaurant Mango Tree in Belgravia, so when I heard, that they were offering Londoners a 10 course Thai Christmas meal, I simply had to go and try it out
