Visit Copenhagen

It's been a while since I was last in Copenhagen and would love to visit this wonderful city again soon. The city is so beautiful and feels so relaxed with lots of down to earth cafés and shops, but for me, the main point of interest is the food :) Copenhagen is well known for having the best restaurant in the world  for many years, Noma (which I have yet to visit). Last time I visited the city of The Little Mermaid, my friend and I decided not to visit Noma and use up all our money in one restaurant but to enjoy good food every day at more affordable places. The places we visited were superb, Casual and really cool restaurants with food to die for. Copenhagen is definitely a trendsetter when it comes to the food scene. The first time I was introduced to Biodynamic natural wines, foraged ingredients and so many vegetables prepared in the most imaginative way was here (something which is now very common in high end restaurants).

Here is my list of where to eat and what to see when visiting Copenhagen

Visit:

The Tivoli: just have a walk around or have a few thrilling rides and join in on the laughter

The Little Mermaid  statue (a tribute to the author H.C. Andersen) Mostly cause I love to look at all the tourists taking pics and posing :D and of course who hasn't grown up reading about the little Mermaid :)

The Harbour: with it's colourful houses (the restaurants here are very touristic but I still enjoy the ambience.)
 Enjoy a glass of wine, smørrebrød or an ice cream with freshly made waffle cones)

Christiania (I love walking around in this quirky little community of its own)

Unfortunately I don't have pics from the inside cause its forbidden.

Papierøen (paper island with a huge hangar filled with street food stalls)

Otherwise I just enjoy biking or walking around the parks and old streets visiting cafés and shops :)

And don't forget to visit the market hall :)

Green Eggs and Ham (gluten free)

Do you like green eggs and ham?

You may be familiar with the story from Dr.Seuss; Green Eggs and Ham...If not then here's a small clip.

Don't play with your food they say...but sometimes it's fun to play around with the ingredients. I've seen lately a few blog posts on green eggs and ham but have been really disappointed on how these posts have been lacking creativity or even the main thing....green color....and I'm not talking about food colouring, cause that to me is just ridiculous when there are so many other options to make your eggs or in this case pancakes green. I decided to play around with some healthy ingredients and make my breakfast inspired by Sam from the children's book really vibrant.

Immediately I tried to look at what ingredients I would have at home and made my own version. The best is that these are gluten free and taste really good.

The following day I wanted to play around with the idea a bit more and made another version of green eggs with ham...in this case upgraded to parma ham.

Green eggs day 1
1tsp matcha
1 dl soy beans (frozen)
1 dl milk
3 eggs

Just mix the ingredients in a blender and fry on a pan like you would make normal pancakes.
Top with Ham.

Green eggs day 2
40g spinach
15g parsley
1 tsp matcha
2 eggs

Throw the herbs into a blender and add a bit of olive oil. Add the rest of the ingredients to get a smooth green batter.
Fry the pancakes on a pan just like you would with any pancakes. Top with feta cheese or any cheese of your liking and some Parma ham or Prosciutto.
I even mixed in a bit of matcha with some yoghurt to make a dressing.
