Welcome to Litsy!

I made a version of suaasat - originally a seal meat stew/soup - using beef, onion, carrots, potatoes and a handful of pearl barley (also a bay leaf, some thyme & stock cubes). It feels odd having a winter stew in the middle of a heatwave, but it was nice, although prob. quite different from the authentic dish 😊 I guess I'll just have to visit #Greenland for that!

I made Kalaallit Kaagiat, a raisin and cardamom bread, using the automatic translation of this page: https://mamarisavut.gl/da/opskrifter/groenlandsk-kage-med-aeggepulver/ The English recipes I found online were a lot sweeter, which didn't appeal as much. It was like a slightly cardamom-scented pannetone & perfect with coffee.

This is a huge coffee-table book about Malaurie's stays in various places in the Arctic, from #Greenland to Canada to Alaska and finally, to Chukotka, from the late 40s to the 90s. His outlook can be a bit dated sometimes, but his love for the people and the friends he made there over the years is obvious.
