Fall food: Pumpkin soup

  

 

This is the most easy pumpkin soup ever.. and also one of the most delicious tasting soups :)

What you need is:

1/2 pumpkin ( you can use butternutsquash or hokaido pumpkins)

3 small potatoes

2 spring onions

chili

Step 1:

Peel and chop the potatoes

Peel the pumpkin and chop it in to dices.

Put it all in casserole and add water, untill the vegestables are covered in water. (but don't add more water than that).

Add the spring onions, salt and some chili.

Step 2:

Let it boil untill the vegestables have cooked out.

You can then either mash the mixture or blend it.. it depends on how you want your soup. I just mash it with a fork for a more rustic soup :)

Happy sunday :)

Life in Vietnam - Hanoi

 

 

Never before have I been to Asia. And the first place I got to visit was Vietnam.

We went to Hanoi, which is a beautiful and vibrant city. Containing business life, thousands of scooters and temples side by side.

This is some of the pictures I took.. more to come :)

How to make : whoopies

Now. WHO wants to taste these.. I sure do.. so here's how to make them.

Start by making the cream.
The cream contains:
175 g of white chocolate
3.5 dl cream

Boil the cream and add the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts. Let the mixture cool Down.
After cooling whip the cream-mix until it is solid enough to stay inside the cake.

Then you make the cakes.
The dough contains:
130 g butter
100 g dark chocolate
200 g sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla sugar
250 g wheat flour
40 g of cocoa
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda

Chop the chocolate and melt it with butter over low heat.
Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy and then add flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder into mixture.
Finally you mix the egg-sugar mix with the melted chocolate and butter.

Let the dough to cool down.

Shape the dough into small balls. It is important that the balls are roughly the same size. There is doughs for approx. 26 cakes.

Bake at 200 degrees for approx. 7 minutes.

When the cakes are cold, you put cream on half of the cakes. 

You then place another cake on top of those with cream making a "sandwich".

..And there you go.. you made whoopies :)

Time for tapas

We all need a break now and then. A break to enjoy and spend quality time with someone we love.

Tapas is one of the nicest things to have for those breaks. It is easy and delicious.

I had one of those breaks some days ago. At a restaurant with my friend I had champagne, cheese, olives and serano. It was so good.

But you can also make it yourself.. just look at the pictures and be inspired :)

Evening pictures

Elle Style Awards was a great experience. Here are some more pictures from the event.

At the award show several fashionistas were presenting the awards. Among the categories were coolest woman and model of the year.

After the show we all got the greatest goodiebags sponsored by L'Oréal containing styling products and make up.

Elle Style Awards part 1

May 15, 2013 Elle Style Awards came to Copenhagen for the first time. And I was there.

The location was Skuespilhuset in Copenhagen. It was such a beautiful setting next to the water.

Elle had made delicious cold drinks with different summer flavours for us to enjoy before the award show began.

Recipe: Crayfish tail salad

 

 

The most easy and healthy recipe I know is this delicious salad.

It contains:
Iceberg salad,
Cucumber,
Red pepper
Tomatoes
Shrimps or crayfish tails

Slice and mix all the ingredients in a bowl and add a little bit of olive oil to the salad.

The crayfish tails are very big and therefore makes it a salad, that will leave you full. But you can also serve the salad with some bread on the side to make sure, that no one leaves the table hungry afterwards.

:)

At the harbour

Nothing better than a sunny day at the harbour!! I think we all enjoy the sun, that is coming our way these days.. have a nice weekend everybody :)

The perfect meal!

 

 

 

 

The perfect meal is this: Beef sandwich with fries from Pastis.

It can be made by yourself like this:

Make slices of a very good steak. Put it inside a very good slice of bread. Add salat, tomatoes and a white dressing. It is so yummy :)

When I returned to Denmark however, it was difficult for a long time, to find any cupcakes that could stand the competition agains the cakes I have had... until Serenity Cupcakes came along.

Their cakes are all very tastefull and decorated in the most pretty way with stars, snowflakes and lots of other stuf.
