Country Number Denmark
Hej and welcome to Denmark! This picturesque Scandinavian country is nestled between Sweden and Germany, and acts as the connection point to Europe for the rest of Scandinavia. Both Nicola&#;s and my own experiences of Denmark are limited to Copenhagen, so hopefully in giving you the low-down on what this stunning city is like we shall give you a wee taste of Danish life. We arrived in Copenhagen late at night by an evening train, so my first sleepy impressions of the city were of lights sparkling on the canal, the sound of water lapping gently against boats, and the swanky interior of our water-front hotel. The next morning my breath was taken away as we emerged into the cool winter light and I was able to take in the city in its full splendour. I can quite honest

Wienerbrød
This is an authentic traditional Danish pastry recipe Not a pale imitation that just throws sugar on a pastry. Honestly it is a difficult recipe and not for the faint of heart, but if you've never heard applause after you served dessert, then this is a recipe to try.

Danish Wienerbrød
A couple of years ago my husband and I attended a week-long seminar at the John C. Campbell Folk School in beautiful Brasstown, North Carolina. The school is based on the Danish design of a &#;Folkehøjskole&#; which is a non-competitive setup and emphasizing on teaching practical skills. They offer classes in anything from Clay to Dance to Knitting to Music to Woodworking, and so much more. Your days at the Folk School are filled with many activities from sunrise to sunset, but although busy it is also relaxing and the school is set in an incredibly peaceful environment. Joe took Blacksmithing and I took Scandinavian Baking. The baking class was taught by Kim Hendrickson who was full of useful baking/cooking tips and who had answers to all of my questions about yeast and baking techniques. It was a week filled with baking delicious treats, some of which I was familiar with and some which were new to me. I hope that Joe and I can one day go back to the Folk School for more classes for we had such a wonderful time there and we got to meet so many interesting people.
