Haver ved havet

– En bog om at skabe smukke, robuste haver i kystlandskabet

Hvordan skaber man en have, der ikke blot overlever, men trives i kystens vindblæste og udfordrende miljø? Haver ved havet er en inspirerende og praktisk guide til dig, der bor tæt på havet – året rundt eller i sommerhalvåret.

Bogen er skrevet af havedesigner Helle Troelsen, som driver tegnestuen Troensehaven på Tåsinge. Helle har mange års erfaring med at designe haver i samspil med naturen – både for private, virksomheder og offentlige institutioner. Hun er desuden kendt for sin formidling gennem bøger, foredrag og kurser og har tidligere udgivet bogen Haven i Troense.

 

Haver ved havet formidler hun sin store viden og passion for kystnære haver – med afsæt i både erfaring, æstetik og naturforståelse. Du får indblik i:

  • de særlige forhold ved Danmarks kystzoner

  • plantevalg og designprincipper

  • funktionelle og smukke materialer

  • menneskers erfaringer fra rigtige kysthaver

  • måder at skabe forbindelse mellem hus, have og natur

Gennem portrætter af haver langs Vesterhavet, sund, bælt og fjorde, lærer du, hvordan man arbejder med – ikke imod – vinden, jorden og havets nærhed.

Haver ved havet er en bog for alle med kærlighed til både natur og havedesign – og som ønsker at skabe en have, der smelter sammen med landskabet.

Fra frø til fantastisk smag – din guide til hjemmedyrkede tomater!

"Efter lang tids søgen efter smagfulde tomater her i Danmark, har jeg endelig fundet dem.” Sådan lød det fra Matt Orlando, tidligere chefkok på Noma, da han smagte tomaterne fra Gartneri Toftegaard.

 

Hvert år deltager tusindvis af gæster i Garteneri Toftegaards "Tomatsmagedag", hvor de er med til at vælge de bedste tomater – Vi tør godt kalde det Danmarks største smagepanel.

Ud af cirka 1.200 afprøvede sorter har vi omhyggeligt udvalgt de 76 bedste, der kombinerer fremragende smag med gode dyrkningsforhold.

Alt, hvad der er nødvendigt for at dyrke egne tomater, er samlet her i bogen – fra valg af sorter og dyrkningsteknikker til gødning, frøtagning og økologisk dyrkning. 

Du får også viden om, hvordan planterne beskyttes mod sygdomme, samt hvordan du høster og opbevarer tomaterne, så du får mest muligt ud af høsten.

Uanset om du er nybegynder eller erfaren, vil du få de rette redskaber til at dyrke både sunde og velsmagende tomater.

Forfatteren Lene Tvedegaard er agronom og ejer af Gartneri Toftegaard ved Køge, som er specialiseret i "Den økologiske spiselige have". Med fokus på tomater, krydderurter og chili har hun samlet omfattende viden gennem årene, som hun deler i denne bog. Lene Tvedegaard er også forfatter til Krydderurter – bogen for urteelskere, Chili og Havens krydderurter.

(Bogen har tidligere været udgivet under titlen Den nye røde om tomater.)

DE SKABTE Flora Danica

Flora Danica er et af de mest imponerende botaniske værker i verdenshistorien – et storværk, der tog hele 123 år at fuldføre. Det blev ikke blot en enestående samling af planteillustrationer, men også inspirationen til det verdensberømte porcelænsstel.

Når historien om de 54 bind fortælles, nævnes ofte kongerne og de botaniske hovedredaktører, der styrede værket. Men hvad med dem, der satte stregerne, graverede kobberpladerne og omhyggeligt trykte hver eneste illustration? De kunstnere og håndværkere, der forvandlede videnskab til visuel skønhed, er alt for ofte blevet glemt.

Biologen og tegneren Jens Christian Schou bringer nu deres historier frem i lyset. For første gang afsløres også de veluddannede danske kvindelige kobbertrykkere, som fra omkring 1840 – trods en mandsdomineret verden – var med til at sætte det sidste, afgørende præg på værket, der blev afsluttet i 1883.

Bogen tager dig med på en rejse gennem Flora Danicas skabelse, illustreret med de smukkeste plancher og fortællinger om det unikke samarbejde mellem kunstnere, forskere og kongelige. Et vidnesbyrd om passion, præcision og det ultimative møde mellem kunst og videnskab.

GUIDE TIL ROVFUGLETUREN

En ny, gennemillustreret håndbog viser vej til de bedste rovfuglelokaliteter i Danmark og Sydsverige. Bogen indeholder også en mini-felthåndbog med beskrivelser af 27 rovfuglearter og deres kendetegn.

Intet andet sted i Nordeuropa kan rovfugletrækket måle sig med det imponerende skue over Danmark og Skånelandene.

I Rovfugle – som jeg ser dem tager den erfarne feltornitolog og billedkunstner Carl Christian Tofte læseren helt tæt på både fuglene og sin egen passion for dem. Med levende fortællinger deler han oplevelser med ørne, høge, kærhøge, glenter, våger og falke – og beskriver deres karakteristiske adfærd.

Carl Christian Tofte tegner de rovfugle, han spotter på himlen, og han viser, hvordan selv enkle skitser eller mobilbilleder kan være værdifulde redskaber til at lære fuglene at kende. Med hans indsigter og gode råd bliver du klædt på til at opleve og genkende rovfuglene i felten.

HVORFOR SKRIVE EN BOG OM JORD?

Jord angår os alle – uanset om vi bor på landet eller i byen.

Den forsyner os med alt, vi har brug for, og dens tilstand er afgørende for klimaet, biodiversiteten og vores overlevelse.
Uden frugtbar jord – ingen mad, intet tøj, ingen byggematerialer, ingen medicin. – Hervé Lognonné
 
Jorden under vores fødder er fundamentet for alt liv, men alt for ofte glemmer vi dens afgørende betydning.
I denne tankevækkende bog stiller Hervé Lognonné skarpt på jordens vitale rolle for menneskeheden.
Han tager os med på en rejse ind i jordens verden for at undersøge, hvordan klimaforandringerne udfordrer den – og vores fremtid.
Med indsigt og konkrete eksempler afdækker han jordens skjulte liv, opbygning og historie og diskuterer menneskets rolle og ansvar i dens udvikling. 
Undervejs præsenterer han danske aktører, der allerede baner vejen for en bæredygtig fremtid.

"Jord – fremtiden begynder her" er en uundværlig bog for alle med en passion for vores jord – fra klimaentusiaster, landmænd og beslutningstagere til havefolk og naturelskere.

Hervé Lognonné er praktisk økolog, foredragsholder og haveskribent.

Han er franskmand og har boet på Fyn i over 40 år.

The beautiful cookbook titled Clara's Feast was created based on the old cookbooks from Glorup God, with a desire to create a new cookbook from the old recipes. The cookbook is not just a collection of recipes but a journey through time and tradition, where old Danish dishes are revived and updated with a modern twist. The book is a tribute to Danish food culture and an invitation to readers to gather around the table and create new memories with family and friends.

In the book, you will find everything from simple everyday meals to lavish festive dishes, all based on quality ingredients, a love for the craft of cooking, and a dedication to excellence. The stories behind the dishes, filled with anecdotes from Glorup Estate's past, make the reading an experience in itself.

The author of the book, Clara Rosenkrantz, was born in Brazil, grew up in Christiania with the free town’s values and communal dining, and as an adult, she worked for many years in gastronomy at several Michelin-starred restaurants, where food became art. Her unique style is also reflected in her cooking, where each dish is a visual and gastronomic experience. Clara married into the historic family at one of Funen’s oldest estates. At Glorup Estate, she is the creative director and has gained a deep understanding of Denmark's rich food culture, which she now shares in her new cookbook.

Denmark's very first gardening book, Horticultura Danica, was published in 1647 – a small, modest book of 129 pages + index, printed in Gothic letters and with drawings of pattern beds as the only illustrations. Here, one can read about how to establish a (distinguished) Renaissance garden and design beautiful beds, which flowers, herbs, and other plants can be planted in the beds, about useful garden tools, trees, grafting, and much more.

Gunvor Maria Juul has carefully adapted the entire Horticultura Danica into a reader-friendly version and commented on the content. She has spent several years finding plant illustrations in large botanical works from the time of the author Hans Raszmussøn Block. An exciting insight into the 17th century and an indispensable work for all garden enthusiasts and garden lovers.

In the book, the most common types of stones on Danish beaches are reviewed. You will learn more about: sandstones, conglomerates, schists, ironstones, limestones, cement stones, basalts, diabases, porphyries, ignimbrites, gneisses, augen gneisses, amphibolites, hornfels, breccias, volcanic breccias, flint stones, chalcedony and quartz stones, pyrites – and amber, which, although not a stone, is found in most enthusiasts' stone collections.

With his new book, which aims to complement the popular “Fossils” Jesper Milàn's goal has been to interest even more people in the geology of stones.

Jesper Milàn, museum inspector at Geomuseum Faxe, has written the text and Lykke Bianca has drawn all the beautiful drawings.

BOOK FOR HERB LOVERS – 3RD EDITION

This book describes over 300 different species and varieties of herbs, including wild herbs that can be used in cooking. Virtually all herb species and varieties are included, along with information on the best cultivation methods, winter storage, seed collection, and harvesting. There are also sections on the diversity of herbs, their culinary properties, and important constituents.

For food and garden enthusiasts, there are comprehensive sections on aromas, usage, and cultivation, and there are great recipes from chefs Kirsten Skaarup, Thomas Hermann, Martin Haugaard Zielke, and Jimmy Duevang.

The essential oils of herbs are crucial for their aroma. Therefore, special attention is given to describing them. What makes thyme smell so distinct, and how do we best preserve these lovely aromas in food? Should they be boiled in the dish, or does the taste experience disappear with heating?

Herbs constitute a healthy, green seasoning for our food. Herbs also often have a history as medicinal plants, but what else can they be used for besides adding flavor to our food and why? This book provides an overview of specific, well-documented effects, as well as what the herbs are recommended for within modern health practices.

Lene Tvedegaard, agronomist and owner of Gartneri Toftegaard, together with Gunvor Maria Juul, herb and food historian, have written this substantial and passionate book.

In this 3rd edition, the book has been updated and includes new varieties and species such as Licorice, Shiso, Sevenseas, Ginger, and Cardamom, as well as new vegetarian dishes by Kirsten Skaarup.

And they know what they are talking about."Slottet" is the name of their allotment house in Gladsaxe. And in the castle garden, since 1994, they have experimented with growing organic vegetables. Today, they are in demand as lecturers throughout the country, just as they invite everyone with an interest in learning more about ecology into their garden. Jens and Sølva have written a number of books on ecology. In this small, practical guide, they briefly introduce the basic principles of organic farming and give good tips for success with: cucumber, tomato, pepper, chilli, squash, hokkaido, beetroot, spinach, salad plants, beans, horse beans, carrots, garlic, cabbage , onions, leeks, celeriac, parsnips, parsley root, beetroot, potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, asparagus and rhubarb.

JUMP INTO THE SEA

"It's not easy to look at fish - we're so out of our comfort zone when we jump into the water, and unless you're a diver, it's hard to enter the world of fish and follow their daily life" .

That's what Lars Thomas says, who has written this little practical guide for all of us who find fish exciting, but who sometimes stand at the fishmonger's and stare at a strange critter we've never seen or heard of before.

In the book, published in "The White Series", the most commonly found species in Danish waters are presented from the fish groups: walrus, sharks, rays, sturgeon, eel, sea eel, salmon, herring, shiner, king herring, walleye, codfish, longtails ) wingfish, gobies, mackerel, swordfish, flatfish, lumpfish and roundmouths.

The book is fully illustrated by Susanne Weitemeyer, who has more than 40 years of experience as a nature illustrator

The garden seen from the plants' point of view

Plants do not have a brain, but they function as individuals, fighting for survival and dependent on their surroundings, on each other – and on us. Understanding the wondrous life of plants is the first step towards a successful garden.

Dr Stuart Farrimond, who describes himself as a "natural scientist with a passion for demystifying and uncovering things", has written a large number of popular books with the aim of making technical language understandable to everyone. The aim of this book has not been to explain how to look after and care for your plants, but why, he says.

Because you can go completely crazy in the forest with gibberish and weird rituals. What is "a perennial"? What on earth does ground cover mean? And why can't I water the plants in the middle of the day? These and over a hundred other questions about plants are asked and answered, and along the way some of the more persistent garden myths and methods that belong to the past are dispelled.

Denmark is home to around 35,000 different species of insects and other small animals. In this small book, zoologist Lars Thomas introduces a wide selection of the species found in the Danish nature, seasoned with good stories from the world of small animals.

In the book, which is part of the series of small white nature books, Lars Thomas compares the world of insects with life on the African savannas or in the tropical jungles. He talks excitedly about lightning-fast predatory beetles that go after their prey with the same speed and ferocity as hungry lions. About dragonflies that catch their prey in flight with an ease and maneuverability that should make a fighter pilot green with envy. And about parasitic wasps that sneak up on their prey and leave them to a fate worthy of a horror movie.

Lars Thomas (b. 1960) is a zoologist, blogger and author of more than 50 nature books. He describes himself as a "super scrubber" and together with Linda Kjær-Thomsen manages the Facebook group Team 9k, a name that covers the fact that they have registered 9000 wild species.

A man need not own more than can fit on a dog sled. But Ivars Silis likes to move, so that there will also be room for you on the load when he looks back over his shoulder at the sled tracks of his life. A terrific zigzag that rings with icicles and flashes of whimsy and happiness.

Silis's memoirs take place in a refugee camp in Amager and a series of cheerful Copenhagen adventures, before the young man with an engineering degree in his pocket flies to Greenland in 1964. After three years as a geophysicist, he gives up the climate tables, loads his sled with a rifle and camera and joins the Inuit bear hunters. It was the start of a long career as a prisoner, photographer and expedition man in arctic regions, but also with detours to warmer continents and to Latvia, where he has his roots.

In this book, we meet some of his friends: big fishers, passionate biologists, daring pilots, cynical editors, crazy billionaires and snorting walruses.

Greenland has been Silis' homeland for half a century, and he has felt the entire dizzying development firsthand. Which path will Greenland choose now that global warming is melting the ice under the polar bear's paws, and the world's largest island has really come under the spotlight of the great powers?

Wild gardens are gaining ground, but many give up when the grass takes over or it starts to look messy. In this large, beautiful book, Jens Thejsen shows how to succeed in creating a lovely garden where the bees buzz and the birds whistle.

The book contains a number of concrete proposals for different habitat gardens – gardens inspired by the natural conditions that prevail on the plot and in the surrounding nature.

Near a forest, for example, it is obvious to plant a forest garden or a garden grove. If you have a summer cottage near a beach, it is an advantage to adapt the garden to the sandy soil, and if the garden is in an area that is often flooded, it is smart to make use of the water and plant something that suits the moist environment.

Accompanied by plant lists and more than 200 photos, Thejsen explains why you should choose species over varieties, perennial and native plants over annuals and non-natives, and why it is so important to preserve old and dead trees, to know your soil type and create habitats for both animals, plants, algae, bacteria and mushrooms.

Everything you need to know about rhubarb and its uses

It wasn't until around 1930 that people started eating rhubarb here at home. Originally, the plant was used exclusively as a medicinal plant, and its history can be traced back several thousand years.

Today, the sour vegetable is widely used in most of the world, both in savory and sweet cuisine, and there are more than 70 different varieties.

In this little book, Inger Vaaben, owner of the organic herb garden Nielsen & Nielsen, pours out her knowledge about the history, cultivation and use of the popular harbinger of spring.

Carsten Lunding, food architect and author of several books on taste, has contributed recipes and the section on rhubarb taste.

The book contains 28 rhubarb recipes for dinner dishes, desserts, pickles, drinks and accessories.

FIND YOUR WAY THROUGH THE CHILI JUNGLE

There are thousands of chili varieties worldwide. Some are mild, some are beautiful, and some are really, really hot! So how do you figure out which varieties to put in your food?

Chili experts Lene Tvedegaard and Gunvor Maria Juul offer 41 good suggestions for that question in the latest addition to the tribe of "small white books with great content" from Koustrup & Co.

"Chili is not just chili," say the authors. "There is a big difference in taste, shapes and colors between the varieties. Chili can do so much more than being the hot ingredient in food or a test of strength in endurance. The strength hit delicately is a fantastic flavor enhancer on par with salt and sugar. And the aromas in the pulp can vary greatly, from, for example, mango to apple - of course it must be used.'' In addition to presenting their own chilli favourites, in the small handy book they tell about the history of chillies, chilli botany, growing chillies, harvesting and storage, strength and chili in cooking and shares a number of delicious chili recipes.

KLIMAFORANDRINGER I EN FJERN FORTID

»En naturkatastrofe for 66 millioner år siden udslettede næsten alt liv på Jorden. Det er en grum historie, men den viser jo også, at livet kom igen, blomstrede og udviklede sig til den verden, vi kender i dag«. Sådan lyder det fra Charlotte Blay og Lykke Bianca, der står bag denne nye børnebog om kridthavet.

Charlotte og Lykke har vandret adskillige ture langs Stevns Klint sammen, og det var her, de fik den idé at lade kridthavets beboere fortælle en nysgerrig dreng historien om, hvad der i grunden skete med dinosaurerne. Det skulle selvfølgelig være en sjov og spændende historie, forklarer de, men også oplysende. Derfor er bogen blevet til i samarbejde med eksperter i geologi og palæontologi, og den udkommer både på dansk, engelsk og tysk.

»Historien om meteoren, der udslettede halvdelen af alt liv på Jorden er
jo universel«, forklarer Charlotte Blay. »Katastrofen ramte hele kloden og skabte de største klimaforandringer i Jordens historie. Og så er det her i lille Danmark, ved Stevns’ Klint, vi finder de allerbedste beviser på, hvad der skete. Derfor kom klinten på UNESCO’s Verdensarvliste i 2014. Og når noget er verdensarv, skal vi altså passe ekstra godt på det«, siger hun.

Håbet er at få endnu flere børn til at interessere sig for at gå på fossiljagt og reflektere over, hvor vigtigt det er at passe på naturen. Nu og i fremtiden.

Charlotte Blay har skrevet bøger i over 40 år og har udgivet mere end 80 titler for børn, unge og voksne og modtaget flere litteraturpriser Hun har desuden skrevet sangtekster for Povl Kjøller, kogebøger og manuskripter for Danmarks Radio. Og så elsker hun historie og at rejse.

Lykke Bianca (lykkebianca.dk) er billedkunstner og illustrator med en særlig forkærlighed for dyr. Foruden bogillustrationer har hun lavet illustrationer til museer, videnskabelige artikler, undervisningsmateriale, brocurer, flyers, postkort, møbeldesign, manualer, billedbøger, kort og meget mere. Hun bor og arbejder på Stevns.

Garden art and visual arts go hand in hand - Danish text

It's not the size that does it. Even in a small city garden, like the one owned by multi-artist Nina Ferlov in the heart of old Middelfart, there is plenty to tell about. It is about the eyes that see, and seen through Nina Ferlov's eyes, the senses are opened to the near.

Nina Ferlov is often called the master of watercolor. Why understand with this beautiful book in hand, a declaration of love for the plants in the artist's own garden and a tribute to the change of seasons.

With her rare sense of detail and color composition, Nina Ferlov has portrayed the plants in her small city garden one by one through a calendar year. She has a personal relationship with all of them and knows how they found their way to Søndergade 8. The porcelain flower, for example, which she did not really like ... "but when I got a porcelain flower from a friend, it had to fit in "My attitude changed when it started to bloom and I felt like painting it," she says in the book.

Nina Ferlov is also a fabric printer, textile designer and visual artist.

NYHED

En uundværlig håndbog i køkkenet.

Bogen om smag - for familiens skyld 

Hvad er umami? Hvad gør jeg, hvis min mad er blevet for salt? Hvordan får jeg bøffen til at smage, så gæsterne jubler?
Carsten Lunding har svarene, og i sin nyeste bog deler han gavmildt ud af sine bedste tips. De fleste kender til de fem grundsmage: sødt, salt, surt, bittert og umami. Men hvordan får vi dem i spil, og hvordan påvirker de hinanden? Det spiller en afgørende rolle for, hvordan maden kommer til at smage. Råvarernes kvalitet har selvfølgelig betydning for resultatet, men det er tilsmagningen, der afgør, om du ender med et vellykket måltid. Ifølge Carsten Lunding er tilsmagning ganske enkelt madlavningens grundlov. »Det handler om at kombinere sig frem til retter, hvor alle smagene er til stede, samtidig med at der også er bud efter de andresanser,« siger han. »Du kan læse en opskrift og sætte flueben på din tjekliste over, hvad der skal være til stede. Det med den gode balance er tilsmagningens opgave. Her løfter vi os fra noget, et computerprogram kan udføre, til en disciplin, der kræver øvelse, hukommelse, viden, fantasi og kontakt med kroppen og dens lyst.« Forudsætningen for at trylle med de fem grundsmage i sit eget køkken er et basislager, som ud over salt og peber kan indeholde sukker, sirupper, honning, ansjoser, chokolade, bouillon, fond i fryseren, creme fraiche, tomatpuré, eddiker, vin og citron. Har du et basislager, er tilsmagning både sjovt og nemt, og med SMAGSBOGEN på hylden kan det ikke gå galt, lover Carsten Lunding.

Kokken Carsten Lunding giver i bogen gode tips til, hvordan madens smagsunivers forbedres og bliver mere interessant. Til daglig slår forfatter, kok og lærer Carsten Lunding sine folder på Krogerup Højskole, hvor han underviser i grøn gastro.

Hjalte på Vikingetogt er den sidste selvstændige og spændende historie om en vikingdreng og hans venner - halvsøsteren og trælpigen Kuska samt fangen og fyrstesønnen Rurik.

”Min far er så uretfærdig. Jeg er hans søn!” Hjalte hamrede en knytnæve ned i det bløde skind. ”Det er mig, der skal med.”
”Jeg er hans datter,” sagde Kuska. ”Og jeg kan snakke vendisk.”
”Jamen du er træl,” kunne Hjalte ikke dy sig for at nævne.
”Rurik er også træl,” surmulede Kuska.

 Der bredte sig et smil om Ruriks mund:
”Men når jeg kommer hjem til Arkona, er jeg fyrstesøn.”

Hjalte lister sig om bord på sin fars vikingeskib som blind passager. Da han bliver opdaget, får han en hård medfart ombord – indtil de møder jomsvikingerne og Harald Blåtands kongeskib.

There is interest in Danish colonial history and the slave deer - here is the story of an archipelago that few people today know about: the Nicobars in the Indian Ocean. The islands were under Danish sovereignty for more than 100 years ...

Why read about some distant, now almost forgotten tropical islands, which you must not visit? Because these lush islands close to the Equator for more than a century played a role in the consciousness of the Danes and in our colonial history.

The Nicobars (Fredericks Islands, East India) were occupied by Danish-Norwegian troops in 1755 with a dream of creating a counterpart to the Danish West Indies - just much bigger. But it should not be easy ... Some of the citizens who were sent there tried to do their best to make dreams come true. They would create a safe base for travel between Europe and China - and return. Often their efforts were futile. Occasionally tragicomic. But it never got boring.

The Nicobaric Islands store many accounts carried by idealism, rock faith and struggle for survival. And descriptions of the indigenous people, "Frederick's Eylenans," whom we quickly learned to toast, but never really understood. Here all the good people met: forest people, Indian sepoys, African slaves and Chinese workers; handsome Norwegians, creeping Danes, etat roots and barons; faithful servants, power officials. And missionaries who fought devils, mosquitoes and mad ants and were constantly tested in the faith; surrounded by pirates, feverish sailors and doctors who did their best but rarely had anything in the medicine box that helped. The backdrop was monarchical kings and ancient imperialists who blew out golden soap bubbles and dreamed of transforming our colony into a significant trading center, a new thriving Singapore.

The book is illustrated with contemporary connectors and photos - i.a. drawings found at the University of Kiel and samples from a collection of partially unknown photographs at the National Museum.

You can be very fascinated by quince - both by the fruits and by the trees with their beautiful flowers. Newly picked, the fruits are beautiful, but on our latitudes hard as stone, but they hide in a secret. Only when the quinces are prepared does the unique taste emerge.

Quince has a powerful, sweet-spicy fruit flavor that is completely its own and difficult to describe in words. Quinces must be scented and tasted. They are acidic and have a high vitamin C content. Quinces are very suitable for jelly, jam, etc. due to the natural, high pectin content. Quinces can be used in both the salty and the sweet kitchen.

The health-giving ingredients are a major reason why quince was so popular before modern medicine came on the field. This book contains the story of the exciting quince fruit as well as a variety of recipes.

In the Middle Ages, a true army of Christian monks and nuns arrived in the North from Central and Southern Europe. Some of them were vegetarians - something very new in time. The vegetarian lifestyle made it natural for these monks to grow well-stocked kitchen gardens.

Self-sufficiency with medicinal plants was also important. The monasteries ran hospitals and needed large quantities of good quality herbs.

Over 100 monasteries were built in Denmark, many of them having medicinal plant gardens. Unfortunately, none of these monastery or manor gardens have been preserved for posterity. But at monasteries and in medicinal gardens you can still see a large number of the medicinal plants that monks and nuns brought to Denmark.

The book contains portraits of a number of important monastic plants that have been used and some that are still used as medicinal plants.

Author of the book, Gunvor Maria Juul, is a food historian and herbal specialist. She has been an advisor at the construction of the medicine garden at the Science Musserne in Aarhus as well as the herb garden in Gråsten.

Jim Lyngvild explored Rosenborg castle treasures and received the right to show these treasures under a new light, that has never existed before. It is a pure heartbreak that this painting is giving - and a light point of view on the most beautiful treasures of Denmark.

 

You'd be astonished and captivated by the detail, quality and work that has been put in this creation - exposed with a rare love of the most beautiful nation's objects. Savage, bloody, deducting, exotic - this is how Lyngvild wants to show these objects, with all the respect of the wonderful nature and poetry floating around them. 

Intended for the power, the splendor and admiring glances. Jewelries big as quail eggs, so ancient pearls that their origins are lost. Crowns and jewelries worn by the most legendary Kings and Queens of the past. It's an extraordinary walk in the past that Jim Lyngvild offered to us here. Take a look at the royal treasures, gems of the crown and the most magnificent  clothes of Denmark exposed with all their grace, splendor, and glory, under point of views that will only increase their majestic nature.

"The result is unique, and the staging is stimulating our curiosity and free our imagination."

- Thomas C. Thulstrup, director of the Danish Royal Collection.

Dyrene, fra den mindste dafnie til de største svaner, lever alle et liv, der er afhængigt af det ferske vand og det miljø på land, der ikke ville eksistere uden vandet.

Per Mølgaard giver i denne bog klar vejledning til, hvordan du er med på trenden om at bruge naturen i køkkenet uden at risikere at samle giftige planter ind.

Giftige planter og plantestoffer findes overalt omkring os – og undertiden i den mad, vi spiser. Det er ”in” at spise naturens vilde planter og dermed vigtigt at sikre sig, at det man indsamler, ikke er giftigt. Heldigvis er dødelige forgiftninger sjældne, men giftige planter er til stor bekymring for mange. Derfor er det vigtigt at kende planterne, så forveksling kan undgås. Mange planteforgiftninger er heldigvis ”falsk alarm” – men ét fejltrin er ét for meget.

Bogen er udarbejdet i samarbejde med Giftlinjen.

Mjøds historie - og hvordan man brygger mjød. 
Vil du prøve vikingernes fortrukne vin? I denne bog lærer Søren Lyshøj dig, hvordan man brygger den søde honningvin, der var ualmindelig populær blandt vores forfædre.

Mjød er honningvin og måske verdens ældste slags vin. Mange forbinder mjød med vikingernes øl, men det stemmer ikke. Til gengæld er det rigtigt, at vikingerne drak både mjød og øl. I disse år, hvor biavl er ved at brede sig, er mjødbrygning en god måde at anvende honningen på. Sjovere bliver det blot at tilsætte forskellige naturlige smagsstoffer som for eksempel mjødurt, æbler eller bær.

Bogen er tænkt som en inspirations- og oplysningsbog. Efter at have læst afsnittene om køkkenhave og dyr, som er de centrale afsnit i bogen, vil de fleste forhåbentlig turde gå i gang selv. Bogen kan læses fra først til sidst, men de enkelte afsnit kan også læses hver for sig.

A personal bird book told by ornithologist Carl Christian Tofte, who describes the birds of the garden as they are but also with some lopsided, whimsical input that he himself experiences the birds. Carl Christian also talks about the birds that most people see and enjoy watching from the window or in the garden. Not all birds from the book are represented in your garden, because gardens are different but if you pay attention you will be able to observe more than you might just think.

In "The Birds of the Sea - As I See Them" you get not only close to the birds, but also to the book's author, Carl Christian Tofte, who with his personal style and many years of ornithological experience tells about the birds and their diverse behavior.

By setting up houses, nest boxes and collecting diverse grains, you will have the opportunity to attract a richer bird life to the garden.
The book contains beautiful and very precise illustrations designed by Carl Christian Tofte.

Jens Juhl og Sølva Falgren fortæller om at dyrke spiselige planter i byen. Som "urban gardener" kan du bo i byen og stadig producere dine egne friske økologiske grøntsager året rundt.

Bogen fortæller om, hvordan man dyrker planter i byerne samt hvilke planter, der egner sig til små altaner eller større plantekasser. Den mere begrænsede plads og måske mangel på lys gør dyrkningen lidt anderledes end i en almindelig parcelhushave.

In traditional Danish cuisine, the use of flowers has never been very widespread. Fortunately, we are now largely inspired by other food cultures and that is probably why we are seriously discovering the possibilities in our own backyard. In the Nordic countries we have many edible flowers in nature and the gardens, and they are both decorative and have culinary value.

In this book, experienced garden and food writer Anemette Olesen, who if anyone is a Danish pioneer in experimenting with the achievements of the garden and nature, gives her bid for flowers that can be picked and consumed for everyone's pleasure. Recipes and tips are also provided along the way. The book wants to inspire more extensive use of flowers in the food. Once you start using flowers in the food, there is no limit to how varied and delicious you can do it.

The illustrations in the book are designed by Kirsten Tind.

Honey tastes of the bees' rumster around the flowers and their careful work with the nectar. Of the plants that bloomed as the bee came by. Of the sun and rain, of the heat and the cold. Honey is diversity in taste and scent, in texture and color and is in a universe comparable to the complex flavors that surround wine, beer and chocolate.

The taste difference between the elegant spring honey and the powerful late summer honey is significant. In addition, the difference between the mild rapeseed and the muscular heather honey is also great. But what determines the taste of the honey and how to describe it? And what types of honey are suitable for certain dishes?

Karin Gutfelt who is a beekeeper and biologist gives in this book information on how nectar turns into honey and about the world of bees. The book also contains recipes where honey is an essential and essential ingredient.
