The breakfast edition
The April Box is a tribute to the first meal of the day. The bowls in this edition are some of my favorites. They are from Broste Copenhagen, and I have used them in my home for a couple of years now. I finally got the opportunity to include them in the Norlii box for you to try. The color, the size, the form, and the feeling makes breakfast feel a little more hyggeligt.
The dairy part
In many homes, mornings are busy, and breakfast has to be efficient. And bowl-food is efficient. Nordic people enjoy a centuries-long love affair with dairy products. You might have heard of the Icelandic Skyr.- The Icelanders are crazy about skyr, and so were their ancestors, the Vikings. Skyr is a traditional Icelandic sour milk product with high protein content. Enjoy your skyr with a granola topping.
The bread part
If you also want bread for your breakfast, try rye crispbread (knäckebröd); the heart and soul of Swedish cuisine for more than 500 years. Back then, the thin crispbread was ideal for storing; thus, they made a hole in the middle to hang the knäckebröd on a stick up high in the house away from animals.
Broste Copenhagen is one of Scandinavia's leading interior brands and based in Copenhagen. Their designs are a beautiful blend between trend and tradition, and they offer everything you need for a Scandi style home.
Nordic Sand Bowl
The series from Broste leaves an organic imprint of the Nordic beaches that enhances a modern Scandinavian table setting. Each bowl appears unique as it is hand-glazed and is perfect for any occasion, from Sunday brunch to Saturday dinner. $23
Black Spoon
Tvis tablespoon is
made of stainless steel and has been coated with black titanium to withstand everyday wear. The beautiful black and glossy design of the spoon gives it a fresh yet elegant look. $37
Linen placemat
Beautiful, natural 100% linen placemats perfect for a bowl of skyr. Try it; you will love it. For everyday use. Although it is no problem to machine wash the placemats, you might want to keep it away from colorful meals. $42
Organic Granola
The owners of Danish Granola Company describe themselves as "a couple of nerdy breakfast enthusiasts." The high-quality granola is handmade from the best organic and gluten-free ingredients and hand-packed in their hometown of Aarhus, Denmark. Simplicity, Honesty, and Care are the three words that describe the mission of Danish Granola Company.
The variant consists of; Danish gluten-free oatmeal, sunflower kernels, almonds (17%), coconut flakes (13%), and cold-pressed coconut oil and sweetened with a little maple syrup.
The product contains 40% nuts and kernels. $10
Allergens:
May contain traces of cashew nuts, pistachios, and brazil nuts.
Scandinavians don't have a tradition of eating breakfast out during the weekdays. Therefore I believe that putting care into the table setting is a way of stating the importance of breakfast.
Enjoy!
