LAUNCH OF “COLLECTED” IN OSLO

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

My sister made this cool video from the event last weekend at Nissan Juke Point in Oslo. I didn’t even notice she was filming so really fun to see after! Thanks to everyone who came! And also thanks to the team at Nissan, Juke Point for helping me out and letting me arrange the party!

“COLLECTED” LAUNCH IN NORWAY

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Saturday we celebrated  that the book “Collected” now is in Norway. The party was at Nissan Juke Point at Tjuvholmen. Have a look at some of the photos on www.Famhove.com.

On the night we had a challenge on who could remember a recipe by heart, and write it down. We got quite a few ones, which I soon will try out! Will let you know how it goes.

Here is Meri’s leek pie from the book “Collected”. This recipe meri knows by heart and it’s certainly one of my favorites! Meri has been working with catering in many years and she knows how to cook for crowds. Now she is using her talent on hosting dinner parties for friends which I think is happening quite often!

Meri’s Leek Pie
  • 60g butter
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 large leeks (500g) chopped
  • 1 bunch of English spinach chopped
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup thick creamy yogurt
  • 1 handful fresh dill chopped
  • 300g feta cheese cubed
  • 125g freshly grated Parmesan
  • 125g plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Heat oven to 180 Celsius, prepare a 24 cm dish with melted butter.
Melt butter in a large pan. Add onion and leek and cook slowly, stirring occasionally until soft – 15 min. Add 1 bunch of English spinach chopped.
Beat egg and yogurt together, stir in leek mixture, dill, feta and all the rest but 2 tbsp of Parmesan. Fold in flour and soda. Add salt and pepper.

“Collected” in Norway

Monday, November 1st, 2010

Last week “Collected” was published in Australia. This time not by myself, but the publishing company Hardie Grant. It’s exiting, but it feels a bit unreal. Today 250 copies arrived in Norway and to celebrate this occasion The Nissan team at Juke Point, Tjuvholmen are letting me host a night at their venue. Come by and say hi!  We’re there from 6pm on Saturday. If you can’t make it but still want a copy of the book go to www.Collected.no. You don’t have to pay the postage if you are in Oslo or Ålesund.

GOODBYE SYDNEY

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

After two years in London and four fantastic years in sunny, beautiful Sydney we are heading back to Norway! We are exited to spend more time with family and friends at home who we have missed so much, but we are also sad to leave our friends who have been like a family for us during the time here. In the last few weeks we have been busy organising the move so I’m sorry for not posting too many new things on my blog. But thanks to everyone who have been reading it anyway:)

I’m also exited to introduce you all to Hardie Grant who will now be publishing my book “Collected”! More news to come on that! The other one I want you to meet is Elin. She will be maintaing my blog now for the next few weeks, while I do a little bit of travelling and settling again. I will be back soon with lots of new photos, recipes, and interesting places to visit. There will still be more Sydney stuff coming as well.
