Spruce Tip Cordial!🌲 One of nature’s fleeting gifts at this time of year is the spruce tip. In late spring, fresh shoots appear on spruce trees and, over the course of a few short weeks, their vibrant green tips emerge. During this brief window, they can be gathered and used in a variety of ways.

Full of vitamin C, they have a lovely citric and piney taste. One recipe that I have been making for years is Spruce Tip Cordial. Mixed with sparkling water, it makes a refreshing drink on a warm day. It’s also a wonderful addition to cocktails and will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. So, if you still have some tips on trees, be sure to make a batch 🌿

Spruce Tip Cordial (granskuddsaft)

Makes 4 ¼ cups (1 liter)

• 3 cups (720 ml) water
• 3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
• 3 cups (192 g) spruce tips

In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring the water and sugar to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat. Add the spruce tips and give it a quick stir. Cover and let sit for at least 1 hour to overnight to infuse. I suggest infusing overnight to get the most flavor.

Once the cordial is ready, set a cheesecloth over a large bowl. Pour the cordial over the cheesecloth to catch the spruce tips and any loose needles. Discard the spruce tips. Transfer the cordial to a clean jar.

To serve, use a ratio of 1:4 - one part cordial to four parts water. Store in the refrigerator and use within a couple of weeks.

Trondheim! The last stop of our week-long culinary coastal journey and it never ceases to amaze. A foodie haven, this beautiful city - where Viking history meets a young creative vibe - has so much to offer. We spent two nights at the luxurious , explored the winding streets on foot, had a delightful lunch and coffee , picked up some tea from Norway’s only Master Tea Blender, and dined and . The whole experience was divine. There were flavors of land and sea, the sun was shining (the whole time!), the vibes were chic, and most importantly, we had a great time chatting and creating memories every step of the way. We started our trip in Ålesund, ventured to the island of Ona, then back on the mainland to Hustadvika before arriving in Trondheim. 7 days. Each filled with unique adventures all centered around the diversity of what Norway’s beautiful coast has to offer. 🩵

If you want to join one of my trips, we head from Oslo to Bergen in September and then to Northern Norway in October. See the link in my profile for the details!

Sunny skies, sightseeing, and local food producers! ☀️ At the island of Gossen, we visited Norway’s only artisanal sea salt producer and high-quality herring producer , who provided a feast for our tastebuds with a variety of herring flavors and both traditional and creative sides to pair them with. We drove along one of Norway’s most beautiful scenic routes, the Atlantic Road. We then went to Hustadvika to spend the night - known as one of the most dangerous stretches of sea along the Norwegian coast, we were nestled into quaint accommodations with dreamy views and great birdwatching. The following day, we visited for a tour and tasting of their amazing local ciders as the buds were just blossoming on the trees. Then off to to taste their award-winning cheeses, including the world’s best Kraftkar. All in all, we were spoiled with great weather and food as we got to spend time with some of Norway’s most inspiring producers!

Ona. This small island of charm and memories, with its stormy and sunny composition, is a place suited for those who long for the sea and find the beauty in everything she has to offer. We just spent two nights of our culinary adventure , exploring the paths wrapping around the quaint houses, touring the lighthouse, visiting the ceramic shops, heading out to sea for some crab fishing, dining on the day’s catch and local specialties, tasting aquavit, and swapping tales - all while the setting sun kept its brilliance on the horizon. A true gem. Once you’ve set foot on Ona, it clings to you and beckons you back to its shores whenever the wind blows. 🌊

Our week-long coastal culinary adventure has officially begun! ✨

We spent our first day in the stunning Art Nouveau town of Ålesund, soaking up the sunshine as we wandered the charming streets and sampled local specialties — bacalao , brown cheese soft serve & classic waffles , sausages, coffee, and the famous “turtle” cakes.

The day ended with a feast of flavors , drinks by the iconic fireplace in our cozy waterfront hotel , and a magical orange sunset. The perfect start to the journey…
