To make it easier for you, I have compiled all the recipes on Enjoy Food &Travel for the year 2010 on this page. Enjoy!!

A

• Asparagus with Spanish Serrano ham and Hollandaise sauce (May 24th 2010)
  I certainly did, what I had said I would last week. I prepared white asparagus as a special treat for supper for my sister and brother-in-law a week ago. I had forgotten how much work it was, but it was certainly worth my trouble.
  

• Aubergine and garlic dip (January 4th 2010)
  The aubergine and garlic dip is a healthy and tasty alternative to mayonnaise or sour cream based dipping sauces. It is surprisingly easy to make, as well.
  

B

• Baby mozzarella in ruccola pesto (August 3rd 2010)
  Estimate 2-3 baby mozzarella per person.
  
  
• Baked lobster in Mornay Sauce (October 24th 2010)
  Having bought three frozen Canadian lobsters "chicks" for NOK 99, I planned a treat for my guests when we arrived for a short weekend at our summer home. Baked lobster in Mornay Sauce was an awesome starter!!
  
  
• Baked puff pastry shells with fish (ball) stew (December 11th 2010)
  Tired and not in the mood to make advanced food, I tried to be innovative the other day. Baked puff pastry shells with fish(ball) stew was nearly a success. By preparing it a little different it will most certainly become one of my favourites.
  
  
• Benito's Italian meatballs as Spanish albondigas (February 21st 2010)
  The best meat balls are definitely the ones you are making yourself, but Benito Navas meat balls are some of the better ones I have tasted.
  
  
• Bird eats bird - boneless filled chicken (March 26th 2010)
  The process of preparing a boneless chicken is tricky and time consuming, but is getting easier by practice. I made a stuffed bird the other day, and has called the dish "Bird eats bird" as it is chicken filled with chicken.
  
  
• Breakfast sandwich à la Egg Benedict (May 8th 2010)
  My friend and Enjoy Food & Travel co-writer Susanne proudly announced that she had prepared a proper poached egg the other day. Sadly I have not succeeded in this art. Until I manage to do so, this breakfast sandwich is the closest I get to Eggs Benedict.
  
  
• Butter bean stew with merguez sausages (March 13th 2010)
  I suddenly craved for butter beans the other day, and decided to create an improvised stew containing a wide range of ingredients from my kitchen.
  

C

• Chicken breasts Cordon Bleu (May 15th 2010)
  This way to prepare chicken breast is superb. It is inspired by a classic schnitzel recipe of Swiss-Austrian origins. I expected three very hungry friends for dinner and I made a full dinner from 8 chicken breasts.
  
  
• Chicken Scalloppina as Buffalo tenders (February 21st 2010)
  300 grams offered at NOK 29,90 is cheap, as these slices go a very long way.
  
  
• Chocolate cup with rum cream and raspberries (February 20th 2010)
  This is the easiest dessert I have made, and it was a success.
  
  
• Quick Croque Monsieur à la Kavli (October 10th 2010)
  A Croque Monsieur is simply a toast with ham, garnished with bechamel sauce and baked in the oven.

G

• Gluten-free cornbread (February 1st 2010)
  More and more people are tested to discover the they either suffer from Coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. Erica E. Brady, my American cousin sent these two gluten-free recipes that she'd got from Rita Evans, a friend.
  
  
• Greek Style leg of lamb (April 10th 2010)
  I prepared a Greek style, stuffed leg of lamb this Easter. Preparing it took time, but when left in the oven I could relax, and the end result was succulent and aromatic.
  

K

• King crab on toast (June 14th 2010)
  Making a King crab sandwich is neither cooking nor preparation, rather an assembling job, but the end result is both easy, esthetically pleasing, and wickedly good.

L

• Lamb Methi Malai (October 17th 2010) I discovered the the Kohinoor sauces in my local Turkish supermarket, and I use them regularly in my cooking. This Methi Malai cook-in sauce is one of my favourites. A rich creamy North Indian sauce flavoured with fenugreek leaves. Perfect for a hot lamb dish during fall.
  
  
• Lemon and garlic chicken with ratatouille (July 27th 2010)
  Last week I made another long-roast chicken dish with a twist. Convenient summer food, as all is prepared in one operation and takes care of itself. This dish consisted of ingredients I had available in my kitchen. So this recipe may be varied after what you have, fresh or canned, but remember to use enough garlic!!
  

• Liveche chicken with Dijon mustard, tarragon and Parma ham (February 20th 2010)
  I have made this recipe before. This time I made a little twist by using some additional ingredients.
   
• Long roast duck - a pre Christmas ritual(December 27th 2010)
  Saturday December 11th was the 2011 Day of the Duck, an annual Christmas tradition. The occasion of this hearty meal is a tradition I and some friends started 5 years ago. The pre-Christmas viewing of Tante Pose, a film from 1940 that we watched during our childhood
  
  
• Long roast, pre-marinated beef tenderloin (February 27th 2010)
  Beef tenderloin should, as a rule, be served medium done, to be moist, tender and succulent. If prepared well done you usually get a disappointing result - a gray, often tough and very dry piece of meat.

M

• Meatloaf Italian style (March 6th 2010)
  Meatloaf is a seriously filling dish, packed with proteins, and very easy to vary with whatever you may have in your refrigerator. As I visited my friends at Løten last weekend I made an Italian style meatloaf filled with tasty Mediterranean ingredients.
  

O

• Open sandwich with pork rib (January 4th 2010)
  I made the most perfect long roast pork rib for my colleagues before Christmas. We did not manage to eat it all, so I split the leftovers into three serving portions to be enjoyed later.
  
  
• Open sandwich with prawns and spicy mayonnaise (January 4th 2010)

  I love food à la americana, and a few weeks ago, I found that the Norwegian pizza brand Peppes had been inspired by the American Pillsbury brand and introduced fresh pizza dough into a tube. Marvellous!!

  An easy and interesting way to prepare pizza.

  Sauteed prawns - how deliciously easy, deliciously tasty. A great evening meal prepared in minutes - perfect for hungry travelers.
  
  
• Scrumptious smoked salmon and cream cheese spread (August 18th 2010)
  I love bagels with cream cheese and lox (smoked salmon), as you may order in many Jewish delis in the US. Slicing a fillet of smoked salmon in very thin slices demands patience and a very sharp knife. A smoked salmon and cream cheese spread is an easy and delicious alternative!
  
  
• Smögen röre (August 3rd 2010)
  A light summer salad served cold with toast. Make your own variation. Add more or less mayonnaise or sour cream for a lighter or richer salad. Try a pinch or two of chili for a hotter “Cajun” style salad.
  
  
• Stuffed mushrooms (September 7th 2010)
  This is really a great way to prepare a snack or a main dish, if you find a large portobello mushroom like this. I made a starter last weekend, using mushrooms as a cup for tasty filling.

• Tiramisu Mousse (January 25th 2010)

• Toasts with rouille Sétoise (August 3rd 2010)
  ouille is a sauce made from olive oil, breadcrumbs, garlic, saffron and chili peppers from southern France.

  Easy and pleasing for the eye, green, white and red as the Italian flag. Take tray, cover bottom with pesto.
  
  
• Tortellini with nuts and gorgonzola in creamed mushroom sauce (May 1st 2010)
  This is one of these recipes where I just do what I do, not making notes, and end up with an exquisite result. My recommendation is that you regard my quantifications with a pinch of salt. Use my ingredients and experiment in order to give this recipe you particular character.

V

• Zucchini soup with mint and star-anise (January 11th 2010)
  A very simple soup made from leftover zucchini and spices bought in the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul. I ran the star anise in my liquidizer by mistake, but that was a jolly good idea.
