At this time of year, when nature is springing up and the fine, tender summer vegetables are showing themselves, it is a pleasure to transform them into lovely, colorful fresh salads and wonderful summer dishes, with lots of texture, bite and flavor. It is often at this time that we talk about favorite dishes, or dishes that we had in childhood that need to be 'recreated' into adulthood because they have been valuable with a special taste, edge, preparation or were enjoyed in a special place, at a gathering and at a table where there was a community of great importance.<\/p>\n

One of my tasks is to prepare healthy, nutritious and green lunches for a group of young leaders who work according to principles developed by Native American tribes. It takes place in Esrum, where the energy is very nice, vibrant and often inviting and inspires me creatively.<\/p>\n

The Indians work in a tipi in a very beautiful garden, and I stand in the kitchen with a view of beautiful nature, the wind, the sun and the birds and can stand in peace and prepare lunch - without disturbances, and it feels like a long process and meditation.<\/p>\n

While the meal is being created, I am completely immersed in the world of vegetables, and many questions arise: How should they be cut, what flavor should they be given, should they perhaps be blanched or saut\u00e9ed, and how should they be served, on what plate and with what color?<\/p>\n

Having this opportunity is a great joy, and I enjoy every time I go to Esrum. Also the bus ride through the beautiful landscape on the way home is a pleasure where I experience a feeling of satisfaction over the meal I have created, and served to people who are going through a transformation and process in their lives.<\/p>\n

I especially love this time of year in the kitchen because it has all the nuances of the color palette from the deep yellow of the corn to beautiful dark green asparagus with deep, very fresh crunch and flavors that can be enjoyed raw or lightly cooked. For example, just steamed for a few minutes in a pot where they can lie at their full length in lightly salted water, and then taken out and eaten and enjoyed for dinner or with potato dishes. Which is one of my favorites for the lunch table.<\/p>\n

The long green asparagus<\/a> and the small, thick, round Danish potato have a special friendship in the summer months. Where they can be accompanied and enjoy each other's company in salads, with fresh fish or just the two of them together with some good bread, lemon and a good dollop of butter.<\/p>\n

Potato food<\/a> often brings joy to the table, and is like an empress who can be decorated and served with all sorts of accessories \u2013 and can be enjoyed all year round. An inspiring lady who loves colors, texture and all sorts of decorations on top.<\/p>\n

With a good, coarse piece of rye bread, some boiled potatoes, good mayonnaise<\/a>, a little finely chopped red onion, topped with chopped mint or parsley and fine small cubes of rhubarb, I have experienced that there is quickly joy at the table and the scent of summer permeates the flavors during the meal.<\/p>\n

I myself am often inspired by simply taking a walk in nature, going into Irma's green department and spending time smelling, seeing and feeling the vegetables on the shelves and enjoying the colors. It can give me the opportunity to buy some goodies to take home, and create a meal that can be enjoyed and remembered \u2013 even on a completely ordinary summer evening with others or alone \u2013 then both the joy of togetherness, creativity and the creation of a meal have been at play at the same time.<\/p>\n

Well done.<\/strong><\/p>\n
