Day 1 in Oslo, with Sissel

We were greeted in Oslo by our lovely friend and amazing host Sissel, where we get to stay while we are here.

Her home is like a blast from the past, with beautiful old furniture coming from her family. We've already had some local Norwegian food and when we were talking about the importance of food and tradition, Sissel jumped up and showed us this fantastic book that her mother made for her. And it includes all the traditional food recipes from her part of the country, including her grandmother's meatball recipe and more. All made from scratch.

Thanks Sissel for taking such great care of us, and thanks for preserving the traditional ways of preparing food, knowing the ingredients and caring about our food culture!!!
