The New Gastronomes

 
If there’s one dish I connect with summer in Denmark it is “kærnemælks koldskål”. It is easy to make, tastes wonderful and on hot days it is simply essential.

Learning at UNISG is about more than listening to lectures. At UNISG we’ve had our minds pricked, poked and prodded, rarely massaged. And we’re all the better for it.

If you live by the sea and are planning to move to Parma, there’s something you should know about—a serious affliction that isn’t found in medical journals, or even on Wikipedia, yet. It happens a few weeks in; you start to yearn for the sound of waves and for the smell of salty rocks. Fresh [...]

Hunky, piece of meat
Enticing and inviting
Ready to be vamped up
An orange [...]
