2 posts | 1 read
Enraptured by the Inuit way of life ever since he became the first Frenchman to reach the North Pole by dog sled in 1951, Jean Malaurie records the disappearing traditions of the Inuits in a photo-documentary that is also an adventure story by one of the great explorers of our age.

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.

Dilara I had iced coffee because we're in a heatwave right now & Greenlandic coffee (whiskey, kalhua, grand marnier and coffee) looks like overkill to me 😂 22h

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.
