Camilla Plum has summed up Scandinavian cuisine in one paragraph:
“Scandinavian cooking is all about simple, healthy, seasonal food made from delicious, local produce: luscious berries, juicy fruits, fresh fish and game, and ancient grains combine with deliciously pungent herbs to create sensational flavours.”
Camilla Plum runs a farm in the Danish countryside, producing organic farming products, available through their charming farm shop and cafe.
The farm shop is selling everything from freshly baked bread, organic carrotts and beautiful flowers to home made soap.
When the mum of seven children is not busy in the farm kitchen or out on the fields she’s writing cook books and she also has her own cooking show on danish TV.
Camilla’s farm Fuglebjerrgaard’s website is only in Danish: www.fuglebjerggaard.dk
