Christmas & Holidays

Nordic holiday baking — julekake, lussekatter, syv slag Christmas cookies and the bakes that mark the year, from Fastelavn to Midsummer.

Norwegian Christmas baking runs on syv slag — seven sorts of cookie, baked through December and kept in tins. Brune pinner are the easiest place to start, and pepperkaker are the ones that make the whole kitchen smell like Christmas.
