Because I spend an obscene amount of time reading through recipes on NRK I’ve ended up compiling a ton of food/cooking-related Norwegian vocab. So I thought I’d share some of it in a little series of vocab lists (I’ve got 4 or 5 ready to go with more in the works). Stay tuned for the rest, coming at some point in the future (probably).
