My Grandfather came to Minneapolis from Bergen as a young man and we always had lutefisk when he was alive. He ate it the way Arne likes it. Perhaps we should try making it again. Merry Christmas! Enjoy you so much.
You should!
I cannot have enough of you. You both are a joy for me. I watch you until I sleep my husband take my spectacle off and put aside my phone. Day after he told me two men were talking. I laugh and told him that I love watching their videos.
😂
Merry Christmas from a Swedish American. I love lutefisk and so does my Mom.Thank you for the video, and mentioning Ingebretsons in Minnesota. I grew up about an hour away.
I inherited my great grandmother's spinning wheel. The foot pedal was repaired with the lid of a herring box!
I'm sure Molly Yeh made a version on one of her "Girl Meets Farm"" episodes, she has definitely made Lefse. I love learning about Norwegian cuisine from Arne and Carlos and am amazed at how much I have picked up from them. Thanks Arne and Carlos.
Looks very healthy. I love how you work together. Arne has such a contagious smile. Thank you for sharing 💕
Thank you for watching Teresa!
I come from a Norweign family and remember very well all the women in the family bustling around in the kitchen making lutefisk and lefse!
I could never get past the smell of the lutefisk but lefse... i love, love,love!,, put a like butter and sugar wrapped in them which we still eat today! Enjoy!
Arne really isn't interested in cooking. Kudos to you Carlos for trying to get him on board. You two are delightful.

Never eaten this but I do love fish, so I might! Peas and potatoes, yummy! Love the sweaters and Arne is so cute and funny! You guys are great. I love watching your videos!!
We came from Minneapolis to California, so when my mother found, at the store, this wooden box with heavily salted codfish inside, she was very excited. I remember she soaked it a little while and then can't really remember what she did with it, but I remember we had potatoes, and the next day, she made mashed potato mixed with the leftover lutfisk and fried in a pan.. she called them potato patties.
I love it all. You really made some beautiful dishes for us to get to know you better. Perhaps, someday, you'll show us how you make that pancake. It looks wonderful. Hope you enjoyed your great meals.
My parents from Minneapolis used to winter in Palm Springs, where once a month the Gopher Club had a Scandinavian buffet with lutefisk and other traditional dishes at the Elks Club.
I love that Arne has his knitting with him in the kitchen! Thanks for the window into your world.
We tried this and my family liked it-my son said it was the best lutefisk he had ever had. It pays to have friends teach you who know what they are doing!
That is so nice to hear!
My husband’s Swedish family made this Lutefisk when he was younger. I really enjoyed watching the process and options for serving.
Thank you for watching Vicki! Will you try making it for your husband?
What a pleasure, as always! ❤️❤️
Coming from Trinidad in the Caribbean, we also have a salted cod dish we make often on Sundays and usually at Christmas called Buljol. The cod is soaked to remove the salt, shredded and prepared with chopped tomatoes, onion, oil and hot peppers and eaten on a type of bread. Some people cook it and this looks like a great way to try it. Also, LOVE the heart shaped pot!
Que rica comida de Navidad 🎄, que el postre quede rico voy a esperar el video, feliz Navidad desde Uruguay 🇺🇾 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅
Again, just the pattern on the dishes show, you are designers. Looks like a undone and redone Delfter pattern, blown up into bigger details!
Love your cooking shows!
Lutafisk & Lefsa! Yes! Love it
Ingebretsen's in Minneapolis, Willy's in Ft. Lauderdale, and I believe Scandinavian Specialties in Seattle all have lutefisk available, but it may be a seasonal item only.
Hi Arne and Carlos. Arne so funny today. Carlos, what more could you ask for in your "Personal Assistant". Arne can do the dishes, clean, set the table and "knit" all done with a smile. A Multi-tasker :-) Love you both. I like fish but sorry not too keen on the look of this fish. Like all other ingredients though.
Mary Wilson Absolutely the best sous chef I could possibly ask for!!! 👨🍳 👨🍳
Thanks for the speedy reply. "Yes " ABSOLUTELY"
I absolutely ADORE you both. I look forward every week to your video! This channel has everything. From knitting, sewing, quilting, gardening, decorating, cooking. The list is endless! Your books are priceless to me. I have them all! TYVM for another wonderful stream. Please have an #AMAZING upcoming week! See you next time! Sending blessings to you both!
Thanks for your lovely comments!
You are both "a natural" in the kitchen !! Thanks for sharing another Xmas tradition from your part of the wold.
What a great video thank you 😊 you guys make my day I love these family videos 😍
Arne is in a mischievous mood today. Ha ha. Sweet child and sensible Daddy work so well together. Love you two. Happy Christmas. Thank you for making so many people happy. 🌹🎄❤️🌟🎄🌹🎄❤️🌟❤️🎄🌹🌟🎄❤️🌟🌹❤️🌟🎄❤️🌹🌟❤️🌹❤️🎄
You two looked great in those knitted sweaters. You made me laugh,not wanting to touch that fish. The peas potatoes make that fish dish delivery delicious. Thanks for explaining the dish to us. You are both so lovely. Merry Christmas God bless you both
Salt cod in Newfoundland and Labrador was a staple and is still enjoyed by many all year long.
Thank you for sharing Carrie!
I love lutefisk. In my family, we eat it in a very simple way; lutefisk with salt and pepper on lefse with butter. It is delicious!
Arne you are such a naughty Santa’s helper! You make so laugh out loud so naughty! Food looks delicious wow! Looks yummy! And Carlos my cardigan is same as yours it’s Norwegian wool knitted by machine in Denmark! Enjoy! Xx 🧶💕🧶
Thank you Anne!
Wow~
~~~~ good at designing knit and cooking well.
What can't you do?
This Christmas imitated by this recipe.
I'm going to decorate it to be happy.
I always admire the various tips that make me happy.^^thanks ARNE & CARLOS
👍👍👍
OM! In Puerto Rico it’s bacalao. My favorite is bacalao in a salad with boiled eggs, yucca and olive oil. You can also have bacalaitos which is fried bacalai fritters. More yummy!
Another wonderful joy filled video. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. I must confess don't believe I will attempt to cook the fish but if I am ever offered some I might give it a try.
Thanks for sharing. I am so hungry now!
Thank you for sharing your traditions and bringing us into the kitchen with you. Carlos you seem to be a great cook !.
I love you both❤️. You compliment each other so well, Arne is the cutest ever when he laughs!
I learned about lutefisk and lefsa about 30 years ago, when I lived in North Dakota. There were so many Norwegian immigrants that it was part of the Christmas celebrations among most of my friends. Thank you for such a clear explanation! @friendoblu
I was watching RUclips to keep me company in the kitchen. I came along your video and I was so surprised... because I was making Lefse.
Lutefisk is a frequent punchline of Minnesota jotes. Often available here at brunches and church basement fellowships along with "hot dishes" and jello salads, also often mentioned in Minnesota jokes.
Yes, we've heard a few of the jokes while in Minnesota... Funny!
Yes it is like viscous if not done properly.
Dear Carlos, You are the Artist in the Kitchen and Arne, seems to be more comfy eating 🍽 and a fiber master!
Joining forces You both are a wonderful combination!
Mmm that bacon sounds good with the fish and pea stew! I’d like to try that.
enjoy! ...Arne the only person more important than the cook in the kitchen is the dishwasher without the dishwasher the cook would soon have nothing to cook in ...ps the US is not the only country across the seas that is home to many Scandinavians...greetings from Canada the
true north strong and free we even sing about it in our National Anthem ...may your holiday candles burn long and bright ...t.
Love,love,love you two so much. Carlos as you know Christmas cooking normally is assigned to one person, what I mean each person has a special Christmas recipe. We have 4 children each year we celebrate Christmas at one of our children’s home and we all bring our special Christmas dish. As I was born in North Africa with an Maltese father, Italian mother, and an Australian husband we have a multicultural cornucopia of food and the grand children learn all about grandparents (us) and great grandparents Christmas traditions.
By the way the fish looks like baccala, which is one of the dishes we have at Christmas.
Yes, it is the same fish as used for baccala, but we put it in lye for a few days.
Looks yummy either way. Thanks
I've only had the "jello" lutefisk. Glad to know the version that looks like fish! In Minnesota we butter the lefse and cover it with white or brown sugar. Being the good German that I am, I covered my lefse with potatoes and gravy. The Norwegians think I'm crazy! Have you been ice fishing yet?
Yeah... I'm of German AND Norwegian/Swedish descent... I eat the sugared lefse, or just plain or with gravy depending on my mood, but I won't touch the lutefisk mostly because of it's always like you said "jello". Pickled herring... different story though. And yes, I'm born and raised in MN too.
My grandmother was norwegian she used to make lutafisk and lefsa I never tried lutafisk but I love lefsa
Lefse is very good and maybe you can try the lutefisk some day.
Looks great to me. I’ve never had lutefisk but I’d certainly love to try it.
Hi my favorite men.....I am not a lover of fish but loved watching you both can't wait till next week desert s yum yum bless you both Dolly
My wife Patricia says she LOVES your Blue Fluted!
Lutfisk is good. We have it in Sweden too but with a white sause. Looks delicious. Have never tried it the Arne way but it looks good. I will try that. I use to bake bread which resembles of lefse. 15:45 Arne is happy. You are so nice both of you.
The heart shaped pot you cooked your peas in is adorable! Bacon makes anything tastes terrific! Lol
Wonderful video. Can’t wait to see your 2019 Christmas shows. Arne, you are priceless. Love your humour. Carlos, you are very talented in the kitchen. Love Arne sneaking in his knitting 😹😹😹😹😹
Good morning here! I should be working but I need a break from my computer work. The rest of the meal I am going to cook especially the peas that look great. I did buy salted dry cod last Saturday at the market. I will re-hydrate then bake in the oven with olive oil, garlic and hot pepper flakes. Yum I just thought I'd give you my version. Take care and have a wonderful day. Back to work for me💕💕
I would be knitting too!
I just love these guys
Thank you!
Love love this episode, thank you for sharing a little bit of the Norwegian traditions. My dads parents immigrated from Norway to Minnesota and then to Canada. They settled in an area called New Norway, Alberta. I remember eating lutefisk and my German mother learned to make the best lefsa. I have carried on the tradition of making lefsa at Christmas time too. Would you know of any good resources in Canada for lutefisk? Now that I am more mature maybe my tastebuds would appreciate lutefisk now. Lol
Love your channel! We eat lefse and lutefisk here in Minnesota. You guys are so fun!
I like your cute heart shaped pot!
Arne cracks me up. Carlos you do a great job. You both make me happy🌲🌲🌲
Thank you for this wonderful look into your christmals traditions. Carlos you are such a wonderful cook - and Arne is such a sweet helper! knitting and taking kitchen selfies cracked me up haha - Thank you for the smile you bring
Merry Christmas from another fan from Minnesota!
I grew up in Minnesota and we had lutefisk and lefse for Christmas Day with mashed potatoes, mashed rutabaga, peas , white sauce, clarified butter and lefse. That was over 40 years ago...I miss the lefse.
That sounds delicious, maybe you could try to make lefse!
@@ARNECARLOS I ate my lefse smothered in butter and rolled up with cinnamon and sugar. Maybe I will try to make some this year. And some flatbread. 🙂
You guys are my favorite elves!!! I love your Christmas central!!! I would love to try the lutefisk! I really hope that your advent season is a wonderful one! Much love to both of you!
luv you two
Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
We have that here in Newfoundland as well ,dried salted fish with boiled potatoes…Some people fry pork fat called scrumchions and spread over the fish…
Sounds delicious
There's a show written by an American satirist called 'King of the Hill'. In an episode called 'Revenge of The Lutefisk' one of the main characters is VERY incapable of resisting lutefisk -- with crazy results that only a cartoon can have. Thanks for showing how this dish is made -- I want to try some of that pea stew, too! What is your favorite type of tea in Norway? I'm having a sip of some green tea right now, and rewatching some faves on your channel!
Dear Arne and dear Carlos, your lutefisk is soooo similar to the dryed cod that most portuguese eat on the night of the 24 of december for centuries. The best cod is the one that comes from....Norway of course! We clame to have 365 recepies to cook the dryed cod. And now we have 2 more thanks to you. The cod is so important in our gastronomic culture that we have a nice museum in Lisbon, about it. Its quite recent. Needless to say, we only like it after a certain age .... and we drink it with red wine, not with white like other fish...and it's delicious with "jamon iberico"....So cool this video....( oh and let me tell you that some of our traditional knitting desings are so similar to yours as some jewelery made in a particular place here, is like the one that you showed that is made by that nice family in the Southestall series ...) oh man!!!! So interesting! Thank you. I learn so much and enjoy your videos so much!!!!
Thank you for sharing your tradition!❤
Merry Christmas to you both and your families!!!
I loved! 😄
You guys have not only inspired my knitting/crafting but also inspired me to learn more about Norwegian culture. Thank you for sharing how you make this dish!
I'm so glad it made this video. I was very curious what lutefisk was and how it was prepared ever since I watched the movie, Frozen with my nieces.
I hope you had a very merry Christmas.
Have been loving watching your videos and I grew up with the Lutefisk my mothers Lutheran church (Vashon Island near Seattle) made. Also LOVE making homemade potato Lefse which we allow to dry and then we mist with some water and when soft we spread with butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon which we roll up cut and eat.
I just made the Pea Stew for my family's Christmas dinner. It was a great hit! Everyone loved it. I think it will become a regular side dish from now on. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for showing us how to cook lutefisk as many ppl here in the US do not cook it correctly and it ends up like slime. In my part of the US we only have butter on the lutefisk, but the bacon w/fat sounds better. 🥳👍💕. I made lefsa yesterday, but I could REALLY use a video on how to make it correctly … Thanks so much for your lovely videos.
Peg Page we’ve never made lefse before, but we will look into that and see if we could invite someone to come and help us out and do a video on it next year.
I heard stories about lutfisk when growing up, but it was never served with our julbörd in NJ.
It divides the nation, some really like it. Others not so much.
Love your video. Thank you for going into such detail about the fish dish preparation. I always enjoy learning about different traditions. You two are the best!
Yes.blue suits Carlos and green for Arne.Beautiful!!!!
Yummy! Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Happy Christmas 🎄
Thank you for watching Phoebe!
I really enjoyed this video. I am part Norwegian here in Florida. thanks for making this video. I hope I can get to visit beautiful Norway someday and meet nice people like yourself. Cheers :)
Hi Eric! Glad you liked it, we have some other videos on Norwegian food on our channel site.
@@ARNECARLOS tusen takk!
Det var så lite!
Hello Arne and Carlos and everyone,
I know this cooking video was a year ago but I’ve only just watched it 🤣 ( I’ve only just learnt to knit too 🤣) I thoroughly enjoy watching you two in the kitchen and I’m definitely using your cabbage recipes this Christmas 🎄 is there any chance of seeing you two cooking some more ? And telling us more about Scandinavian dishes 😊 I’ve been in Sweden for Lucia, midsummer and crayfish festivals and have tried to replicate them here in the U.K but I definitely need some expert advice from your good selves 😀🎄🎄 Also, thank you for keeping us entertained during lockdown ..it’s so very much appreciated 😘
Thank you for sharing you tradition with your viewers. Looks so delicious and Arne’s way of eating lutefisk is also delicious.
I always enjoy viewing both of you and look forward to next weeks video!!
Elisa 💕
Great video! Many cultures have "white food" Christmas dinners, often eaten on Xmas Eve. Especially using fish. If you use a lighter fish instead of cod it won't have the strong odor. The "jello" is caused by the lye turning the fat in the fish into soap! lol Also can't be served in real silver because it will damage the finish. Arne's looks like a fish taco lol Can't wait for next week's dessert :) There is a town in Alberta Canada that is the Lutefisk capital of Canada, because of all the Scandi people there. Where I grew up in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada, there were many Finnish people who eat a similar meal. Happy Holidays to the Cook and the Helper ;)
I could nearly smell the bacon..... gosh, I am hungry after watching this! 😄❤️
I think it all looked amazing! Thank you for sharing that with us! I agree real butter is the way to go. Wishing you the best of this season!
I love cod and eat it often. I think I prefer the Italian version. I do not think I could eat food soaked in lyle. As always you two are a hoot. Looking forward to next week.😀
You can also do fresh cod, prepared in the oven and then with the bacon drizzled on top with the pea stew and the potatoes or served in a lefse as Arne did, as an alternative to fish in lye.
Thanks for sharing your traditional meals with us. Carlos your hair is so nice and healthy.
Arne your giggles are contagious makes me smile keep being you. BrambleKnits 🇨🇦
I grew up just south of Minnesota, so all I ever heard were horror stories about the "jello" lutefisk. I'm SO glad to hear that it doesn't have to be that way! I love fish, and now you've encouraged me to go find some. Love the sweaters; and Arne - I totally enjoy your laughter!
I love your videos, they are very relaxing especially your outdoor videos. Your tutorial have made my knitting fun and stress free. Thank you.
That meal looks so delicious, and I loved watching how you cooked everything! And Arne, that was a nice table setting! Looking forward to watching your desserts next week! Have a great week guys!
I lived in Oslo for 3 and 1/2 years. Loved Norway. I bought the blue sweater in Oslo and still have it. In the whole time I lived there I have never had Lutefisk, my husband had seen it in a Julebord but never tried it, nor wanted too.
hi guys I love your meal my mother made this meal for us when we were children it brought back memories I could almost smell and taste it thanks for the podcast I can hardly wait for next week see you then
Thanks Happy second day of advent🕯❤️🇳🇴God Jul 🇳🇴❤️🕯
I'm Norwegian and we have eaten lutefisk many times, but this is the first time I've seen the preparation of it. My mother didn't like anyone in the kitchen when she was cooking, but I do know she poached the lutefisk. She might have salted and soaked it, but I'm not sure. I do know we all loved the way she prepared it. we had it with steamed new potatoes, steamed vegetables and white sauce.. I always put lots of white sauce on my potatoes and mustard on my fish ;-)
Great vid guys! Thank you for sharing. Lutefisk is delicious and my wife’s family enjoy it. It’s something I hope to prepare for them and this recipe might become our family recipe which I will add to our cookbook with your names on the recipe heading! The sweaters are fantastic!
Thank you Ean, we are glad you found the video useful and inspiring. I hope your in laws will enjoy it.
Love you guys! I bet it is delicious!
I'm a bit of a wimp when trying strange things, I have memories as a child of a Scottish dish that would make me run outside to play for hours. However I am going to make the Lamb with cabbage for Christmas eve. Thank you for sharing your time and traditions, I love it. A warm video can be better than a Dram.
Scandinavian burrito! I want to try !
You should make it one day.
Mmmmmm, not sure about the fish but you two are gorgeous. Arne is a delight in the kitchen, I would love him helping me. Can’t wait for the dessert
Outfield is my favorite breakfast on Christmas morning. I have never had had lutfisk, my family knows how to cook it well. We have it with salt, pepper, Peter and mashed potato with melted butter. Oranges are usually served to clean the palate.
I love watching you two in the kitchen! 😍
Arne reminds me of my husband who is also not big on cooking. He is also the one who passes things and puts them away while I cook. You make a good team!
Love your sweaters (Jackets), I am going to make one for me and my husband after I have finished knitting next Christmas scarves, Doctor Who for my Son Chris, Fleur de Lis and other French designs for his partner Chris (yes, they have the same name and initials) because they spent their holiday in France last year. Tartan for Chris's Twin brother Tony because of Irish and Scotish heritage.
Arne that reminds me of a soft fish taco! Carlos as usual is impeccable in everything he does. This was a very informative episode. Can’t wait to see the dessert segment. Two thumbs up!!!
Hi Arne & Carlos, that looks good, love your tradition. Here in Canada, on Christmas eve we eat after the midnight mass, meat pie, ham, cold porc roast and many other foods, not all Canadians celebrate that way. I love to hear traditions from other countries. I am looking forward for next Sunday, for the desert recipe. Have a great week. Hugs. Francine
Tusen takk from LynnAnn Nysted-Ueland-Thomas!!! I'll definitely be baking our lutefisk this year! (I'll still use the drawn butter, but love the bacon idea) My 91yo dad Leonard Nysted thanks you too!!! (baking lefse this next weekend on my Bethany lefse griddle with sticks that grandpa Nysted made me)
LynnAnn Thomas enjoy!
