Calcium is an important component of balanced food from infancy to old age. In general, calcium intake is adequate in developed western countries, which include a relatively large portion of dairy products in their diet. However, I will not focus on a balanced calcium diet or improving calcium intake throughout our lives. My focus will […]
Usual Food
Danish rye bread
When I spent some time in Dannmark, I discovered rye bread. We do have it at home, but our version is much more acidic and sharp in taste. The Danish variant that I liked was much more mild, with different seeds contributing to a nice, soft, full flavor which I really liked. And the bread […]

I found the original recipe on this beautiful site. Since it was not written in english, I believe that it needs to be presented to a wider audience. And I have added some of my experience in the preparation, to make it clearer and easier. Overall, it is easy to prepare, it is vegan friendly […]

Artisan bread
Bread is one of the basic foodstuffs. Anyone who has smelled a fresh baked bread can remember the soft, warm and comforting feelings it calls forward. No wonder fresh, hot, out of the oven bread can be eaten in a flash. Practically nothing is needed, since hot bread is practically a finished dish. Maybe a […]
Halva
I really like sweets. Fudge is an awesome sweet but due to high lactose content, it’s not suitable for lactose-intolerant people. Halva is a close cousin to fudge – also sweet and delicious, with a gorgeous texture. When I searched for a nice and easy recipe I realized that there are a couple of variations. […]
