Happy Halloween! A great excuse to put pumpkin in pancakes, pies, gnocchi, salads, soups and in bread! Photos are from last year trip to California. Luckily Norway is growing nice and sweet pumpkins now. Actually every year the production is almost doubled, when a few years back it was quite hard to find pumpkins in the shops. Today they are everywhere!

Try these sweet pancakes from Elise. I promise a good start to your day!

I had some amazing days in Ålesund during the Food Festival in August arranging the first Mellom Bakkar og Berg Pop-Up dinner. I was lucky to meet so many fantastic people behind the local produce. Thank you all for contributing.  All recipes from the evening can now be found here. You can also read more about the event here.

Nils Henning Nesje, Mat med Hjerte helped us locate some of the 120 small local producers. Here we’re visiting Øyvind at Haslebakken Gard.

All the guests left the dinner with a small goodie bag to take home. Janne og Nan-Hi from Mandel og Melis made the most beautiful and delicate Krumkaker for everyone and Jacu shared some of their freshly roasted coffee beans. A small porcelain cup and fish oil from Omeganor was also part of the gift.

Nice colors!  From Merci, Paris

Canevas

The simplicity and elegance of Ross Gardam´s Oak pendant light in solid FSC timber caught my eye instantly. Available in one size and three finishes of Natural, Black and Lime in Australian made ECO Timber.

The Taste of Ålesund

Set amongst our beautiful mountains and fjords, our farmers and producers grow and create unique flavours and ingredients. Surrounded by a very special atmosphere, we invite you to an evening in the historical Jervellhuset in Ålesund to showcase the best of what’s local.

We want to take you on a new and unique taste experience. Talented chefs from Restaurant MÅLTID in Kristiansand, Max Hansen, Kasper Nicolajsen and Nicolai Pedersen, will combine forces to create a feast for our intimate gathering. Together with Nils Henning Nesje, local food enthusiast and cook, our team will travel around Sunnmøre to harvest for the evening’s dinner.

We have hunted down local cheeses, the best meat, the fresh fish we are so proud of, and the sunny eggs and delicious fresh cut vegetables in a bid to showcase the best of Ålesund and surrounding areas.

In collaboration with Matmerk, Den Norske Matfestivalen and Innovation Norway, we will serve you exciting flavours from our local produce. Our glasses will be filled by local beer and drinks.

We look forward to celebrating an Ålesundsk feast with you.

The Pop-Up restaurant is only open two days during the Norwegian Food Festival.
