Christmas buffet dinner at Louisiana

Some time ago I visited Denmark's world famous art museum, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, for the opening of the exhibition of Paula Modersohn-Becker's art.

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is organizing the first major exhibition in Scandinavia of the German painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907). The exhibition comprises about 100 paintings and 40 drawings. See more: http://en.louisiana.dk/exhibition/paula-modersohn-becker

But Louisiana is not only art. The Louisiana Café offers very good food and boasts one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the Øresund. Therefore we combined the art exhibition with a delightful Christmas buffet dinner.

This is what was served:

Smoked salmon with Dijon cream sauce and crispy herbs / Celery soup with ginger and crispy bacon / Rib roast from Grambogård with smoked juniper berries / Glazed duck breast with pepper and honey / Orange sauce / Red cabbage salad with. salted walnuts and white wine syrup / Spinach salad with baked apples / Wheat kernels with pickled red onions and chives / Carrots with cinnamon and orange / Bread w. clove salt / Seeded rye bread / Potatoes roasted w. bay leaves and goose fat / Rice pudding with cherry sauce and caramelised almonds.




Rice pudding with cherry sauce and caramelised almonds.

Well, Louisiana is located in Denmark and I live in Sweden. But between Denmark and Sweden is a bridge across the Øresund. Therefore, it is very easy for me to take my car and drive away from Lund in Sweden (where I live), across the sound, via Copenhagen to Louisiana. Motorway almost the entire route.
