Danish recipes and Danish food
About Danish Food
Ask a non-Dane to name some famous foods from Denmark, and they’re
likely to offer up “pastries”, “butter” or “herring”. Indeed, the Danes
are justifiably renowned for their superb butter, can’t get enough of
herring and other cured fish, and specialise in light, flaky pastry –
though no-one in Copenhagen would dream of asking for a “Danish” at the
patisserie. The sweet treats are known locally as Wienerbrød, after the
Austrian bakers (reportedly strike-breakers) who brought their
techniques to Denmark in the mid-19th century.
Danish cuisine is
all these clichés but much, much more. The well-known staples – a key
one being dense wholegrain rye bread, traditionally baked weekly at home
– are the building blocks of a hearty food culture that is steeped in
tradition, is made for long, cold winters and celebrates blissful summer
days.

Hot Tips
Baking bread
If you want to make Afghan or other naan-style breads and don’t have a traditional clay tannur or wood-fired oven, try using a wide pizza stone placed in the bottom of a cold oven, then turn the oven on to maximum heat. Electric pizza ovens, available from homeware stores, will do the job too.
Glossary
Guajillo Chillies
Guajillo (dried and pronounced gwah-HEE-yoh) has a very tough leathery skin so may require long soaking.
