My aunt Hanne was a great cook, and I have been privileged to enjoy her cooking during two decades. She left a large number of clippings and recipes behind and gave them to her grand daughter, and she, in turn, left them to me. So here is how I want to give something back to you all by publishing her recipes on the net.
