The weekend is approaching fast and it is time to relax. At the Normann HQ we ended the day with homemade cookies and milk.

This is the Bo Bech bakery located in Store Kongensgade 46. They only bake one kind of bread. One size, one price. The open at 10 o´clock and closes when all the loafs are sold… it’s that simple.
First of all we love the bread – which is probably the best bread you can get in all of Copenhagen. Furthermore, we are quite impressed with Mr. Bech having the guts to open a bakery selling just one kind of bread. Think about it. How many companies do you know that has the courage to sell only one product! The lesson for today must be: You only have to do one thing – you just have to be damn good at it.
The picture above is from one of our favorite Cafes in Copenhagen. It is very small, only serve six different dishes and you are encouraged to bring your dirty dishes back to the counter. But the food tastes great, the atmosphere is cozy and during the summer you can sit outside in the yard – which by the way also works as a theater during the long Danish summer nights.
If you don´t know the place, click below and we will reveal one of our secrets.
This blog is not about food. But every now and again we have to sneak in a tip or two from our hometown. This time we would like to recommend a awesome steak house in the center of Copenhagen. Its called MASH (Modern American Steak House) and it serves some of the best steaks in town. The MASH visual concept and interior is designed by the British design agency Orbit design and has a very classic, cozy and american feel to it.

We love Swedes but…

We love our Swedish brothers and sisters in the North. They have given us so much like Volvo, ABBA, ACNE (Jeans), Absolut Vodka and Swedish Match… just to name a few. However, there is one thing our dear Nordic friends will never learn: making a proper hotdog! Last week we attended the Stockholm Furniture Fair, and while in town, we spotted this sign.
1. Mustard & Ketchup… a simple classic.
2. Cucumber Mayonnaise… a truly scary combo that will leave you with a breath to die (for).
3. Boston pickled cucumber… not sure our friends in the US recognize this version.
4. Special… a.k.a. the Bikini-Special which is a sausage with two buns of mashed potatoes! We have no clue how you eat this thing!
5. Räksallad… why not go all the way with a combo of sausage and shrimp salad… at least it makes the sausage look a bit more happy!
We love to find the small differences between our two nations… just like the No Pole dancing in Swedish trains.
Eat out – of a Cognac glass!

We got this great picture from Alex. She wrote:
As a passionate food photographer, I am very happy with Rikke Hagen’s liqueur glass. The genius of the design really shines when you have either liquid or food in the glass. And it feels good when one holds it, not to mention the fun factor for both young and old.

Have you invested in a oversize-all-included designer grill? Well, we are here to tell you of a much cooler way to prepare your food this summer. We just returned from Norway where we gave a peptalk to the Norwegian design community. We met Tanja Sæter, a brilliant young glass designer who also uses her glassblower expertise as a seafood chef by grilling the food - using 900 degrees hot glass as the grill.
Our salad set is dead and gone to salad heaven!

Today we say goodbye to our old salad set. New salads demand new salad sets – and to be honest, the old set was a bit… grumpy. Say hello to the new kid on the block. The Krenit Salad set, designed by Herbert Krenchel back in 1953. This youngster comes in two colors (B&W) and is bound to spice up your next summer salad with some Danish minimalism.
Bon appetite
