The Dirty Kitchen Cookbook (Preview)

Living in a dormitory can be boring and sad. But the Third Floor Guys of the Teknologkollegiet, who lived on the third floor of the dormitory from 2015 to 2016, have chosen to spice up their dorm lives by cooking for each other—and learning to cook along the way. The Dirty Kitchen Cookbook (Danish title: Det Snavset Køkken Kogebog) is the product of this collaboration between a tight-knit group of dorm mates and friends who started cooking for each other to learn the dishes of their particular home countries. Thus was born the 2015-2016 Teknologkollegiet Third Floor International Dinners. From September 2015 to June 2016, the group welcomed nearly 50 people from over 25 different countries. This led to 39 dinners featuring cuisine from 18 different countries, and nearly 100 dishes and desserts. In this book you will find a selection of the recipes made during the international dinners, stories about life in Teknologkollegiet, and photos of what the Teknolog Guys have been up to.

Forord<br />

Foreword<br />

Everything started like a game.<br />

Joachim and I were very curious to learn some Indian cuisine secrets and Satra offered to “do a lesson”<br />

for us. While he would cook the next week, Joachim and I would observe and take notes so we could<br />

learn a new dish. We didn’t know yet that that would be the first of an entire year of International Dinners.<br />

That evening started with a lot of excitement. I actually arrived there with a paper and a pencil, ready<br />

to carefully take note of every single detail. After only 15 minutes I realised that it was completely impossible<br />

to take notes though because, I don’t know if you know Indian cuisine, but trust me: it’s not what you<br />

would define as “easy and straightforward to cook!”<br />

Still, we really enjoyed that night. Me and Joachim experienced a new flavour, a new smell that an Indian<br />

restaurant abroad would never give us, and, at the same time, I saw in Satra’s eyes the happiness of seeing<br />

people from other countries so curious and desirous to taste his own culture. So I told Joachim and<br />

Satra—who would become two of my best friends in the dorm—that we could repeat this experience the<br />

week after, this time with a new country: France. <strong>The</strong> week after that, we could do Italy, my country.<br />

At the second International Dinner, we were no longer three, but seven. And the Sunday after, we were<br />

even more. That was the beginning of many Sundays in the name of exploration of new cultures’ flavours.<br />

But the reality is more than that, maybe because the flavours and cuisine of a country are the mirror of<br />

the soul of that country as well. <strong>The</strong>se Sundays helped us to discover knowledge sometimes totally far<br />

removed from, and sometimes unexpectedly so close, to our own cultures.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se Sundays taught us to recognise the importance of receiving a gift. Yes, a gift, because every cook<br />

has always pledged hard to do well: sometimes cooking from the morning, sometimes asking his parents<br />

the recipe in detail, sometimes being worried about the results. In this sense, it was always an honour for<br />

each of us to receive this privilege to “enter” another country for a night without paying for a plane ticket.<br />

But these dinners also gave us the possibility to learn to give: give to other people from all over the world<br />

the possibility to access our world and enjoy the flavour of our respective countries.<br />

It’s easy to guess then, that this fixed appointment every Sunday has also been the start of many strong<br />

and unforgettable friendships. Since that first International Dinner, we have never skipped this tradition.<br />

During the week each of us are completely immersed in our lives at work, spending time with other<br />

friends, our Danish courses, and so on. But come Sunday evening, everybody is in that <strong>Dirty</strong> <strong>Kitchen</strong>. It is<br />

kind of a fixed point in our frenetic schedules. We look forward to it. And this is the reason that our dinners<br />

have grown bigger and bigger, now often hosting over 25 seats in that kitchen on the third floor of<br />

Teknologkollegiet.<br />

Each of us brought something to those Sundays. Each of us received something from those Sundays. And<br />

this is the reason why we don’t want to forget it.<br />

This book that you are going to read is the child of our amazing trip from all our kitchens all over the<br />

world. Take it as a gift and be as curious as we have been so you can enjoy all these recipes—or poems—<br />

to the fullest.<br />

Tak til…<br />

Special thanks<br />

I would like to thank all those who suggested the creation of a Teknolog cookbook. Your names may<br />

escape me now, and it might have taken a while, but it’s here now!<br />

A special thank you goes out to Cobus, for being the latest one to propose doing such a cookbook,<br />

and also to Elise, for following through the idea by hosting all the recipe files and pictures online.<br />

Also, thank you for putting up with my nagging these past few weeks! I know you both are busy, but<br />

thanks for taking time to help me finish the cookbook.<br />

Another special thank you goes to Anna Eva Utke Heilmann, who helped ensure that the Danish<br />

translations in this book are accurate.<br />

And lastly, thanks to the people who contributed their recipes for this book: Adrien Poncet, Carolina<br />

Pires, Elise Lucotte, Etienne Piantanida, Guilherme Maciel, Jacobus Swartz, Jan Koetsenruijter,<br />

Joachim Audet, Kate Hassan, Maria Celeste Fasano, Olaya Alvarez Lafuente, Roberta Spreafico,<br />

Rui Xu, Satrajit Ghosh, Svetlana Fa, Tan-Phat Huynh, Tomás Cunha, Veronica Sarno, Zakaria Salmi,<br />

Introduktion<br />

Introduction<br />

Velkommen til Det Snavset Køkken Kogebog, hvor vi præsenterer vores opskrifter, som vi har kogt<br />

for hinanden i løbet af året på Teknologkollegiets trejde sals køkken.<br />

By the way, please don’t be intimidated by the Danish language phrases we use throughout the<br />

book! Since we’re in Denmark, we just had to pay tribute to the Danish language, and what better<br />

way to do that than to use what little Danish we know as much as we can in the book.<br />

Welcome to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dirty</strong> <strong>Kitchen</strong> <strong>Cookbook</strong>, where we present our recipes, which we have cooked for<br />

each other over the last year at Teknologkollegiet’s third floor kitchen.<br />

<strong>The</strong> International Dinner in our kitchen has been going on for almost every Sunday since September<br />

2015. Along the way, many of us have suggested creating a cookbook, but those plans kept falling<br />

through.<br />

That was until sometime earlier this year, when Cobus pitched for it. What was different this time<br />

was that Elise supported it and started work on it immediately by making an online folder where we<br />

could compile all our recipes. When some of the recipes were already uploaded, I took the chance<br />

and created a vision of what the cookbook would look like. I’d like to think this really inspired the<br />

other members of the Teknolog family to give their recipes, which, in turn, lead us to this finished<br />

book.<br />

All in all, we managed to compile 63 recipes for this book. This is probably only about two-thirds<br />

of the recipes that were cooked throughout the year. <strong>The</strong> recipes are presented in two parts and<br />

sorted according to their country of origin. Meanwhile, there are special sections for desserts and<br />

drinks, as well as our overindulgent Julefrokost. <strong>The</strong>re are also vegetarian recipes—just look out for<br />

the “VEGETAR” designation at the top of the page. By vegetarian, we mean these are meat-free<br />

dishes, but they may have eggs, butter or other products coming from animals.<br />

Aside from this, we have also asked some of the Teknolog family to write about how to make their<br />

own versions of iconic meals and dishes. We have two sections devoted to these “masterclasses,”<br />

where you can learn something about cooking barbecues, curries, pizza, pasta, rice, and salads.<br />

Away from the kitchen, we also take a look at the places we’ve been to in the past year, as well as<br />

other things we were up to.<br />

Finally, we couldn’t end this book without showing you photos of almost all the International Dinners<br />

that we had, starting with the first one on September 12, 2015. And we also would like to show you<br />

our faces.<br />

But first, we invite you to read how our International Dinners began, and what it’s like cooking in the<br />

<strong>Dirty</strong> <strong>Kitchen</strong>.<br />

HVORDAN VORES<br />

INTERNATIONALE MIDDAGE<br />

BEGYNDTE<br />

<strong>The</strong> third floor guys: How our International<br />

Dinners began<br />

Life in a big dormitory like Teknologkollegiet can be lonely and sad. But<br />

it can also be happy and rewarding. We, the residents of the third floor,<br />

have chosen the latter by forging friendships over food.<br />

By Nathaniel Melican


We have our International<br />

Dinners<br />

every Sunday,<br />

where someone from the<br />

dorm cooks a dish from his<br />

or her home country. Unlike<br />

many dormitories around<br />

Aarhus, which allocate a<br />

lot of space for Danish students,<br />

Teknologkollegiet is a<br />

dorm that’s divided into two<br />

sections: the ground floor<br />

and the first floor are purely<br />

for Danish students enrolled<br />

in the nearby Aarhus Tech<br />

campus, while the second<br />

and third floors are for international<br />

students. No Danes<br />

live on our floor.<br />

This setup has its own pros and<br />

cons, but we certainly would not<br />

have tasted a lot of dishes from<br />

around the world without it.<br />

Over 10 months, or 40 weeks,<br />

we sampled over a hundred<br />

dishes from nearly every part<br />

of the world—from our home<br />

Denmark here in the north to<br />

South Africa in the south, and<br />

from the Philippines in the east<br />

to Brazil in the west. We dared<br />

ourselves to cook and taste unfamiliar<br />

dishes, but also paid<br />

tribute to culinary classics.<br />

It certainly didn’t start big.<br />

As they say, great things start<br />

from small beginnings.<br />

“We were all cooking in the<br />

kitchen one day, and we began<br />

discussing about food<br />

from different areas,” Satrajit<br />

said. As they discussed food,<br />

Maria and Joachim became<br />

more interested in Indian cuisine.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y wanted me to prepare<br />

something, and they want<br />

“Satra cooked<br />

some curry<br />

for us, but we<br />

couldn’t eat<br />

it because it<br />

was so hot<br />

and spicy!”<br />

to learn some Indian recipes,”<br />

he added.<br />

<strong>The</strong> three—the first of “<strong>The</strong><br />

Third Floor Guys”—then set a<br />

date when they would cook<br />

dinner together. That was 12<br />

September 2015—a Saturday.<br />

“I prepared Alur Dum, which<br />

is a potato curry; Begun Bharta,<br />

which is a Brinjal mix; and<br />

some rice. We named it as the<br />

International Dinner!” Satrajit<br />

said. <strong>The</strong> trio found somebody<br />

to take a picture of them, smiling,<br />

holding plates and cooking<br />

spoons and spatulas. Thus,<br />

the International Dinner was<br />

born.<br />

But as they sat down to eat,<br />

they found it hard to enjoy<br />

what Satrajit cooked for them.<br />

“I remember the first International<br />

Dinner! Satra (Satrajit)<br />

cooked some curry for us, but<br />

we couldn’t eat it because it<br />

was so hot and spicy!” Maria<br />

said while laughing as she recalled<br />

that night during one<br />

of the later International Dinners.<br />

Satrajit owns up to his mistakes<br />

and is still sheepish about it to<br />

this day. “I added too much<br />

chili powder in the Alur Dum<br />

by mistake, and they went red,<br />

even if they added yoghurt<br />

and all!” he said. “But the Begun<br />

Bharta was fine.”<br />

It all began in the kitchen, which<br />

is the dorm’s equivalent of an office<br />

water cooler: a place where<br />

people gather to take a break<br />

and maybe talk. Our International<br />

Dinner started when two people,<br />

Joachim Audet from France<br />

and Maria Celeste Fasano from<br />

Italy, became curious as a third<br />

person, Satrajit Ghosh from India,<br />

was cooking some Indian<br />

food in the kitchen. <strong>The</strong> three<br />

had just moved into the dorm<br />

when they bumped into each<br />

other one day in September.<br />

Eggplant Parmigiana<br />

By Veronica Sarno<br />

VEGETAR<br />

<strong>The</strong> name of this dish is derived from “Parmiciana”, the set of overlapping wooden strips which<br />

form the Persian window shutters in an arrangement reminiscent of eggplants in the parmigiana. Its<br />

origins are disputed between Emilia Romagna, Campania and Sicily. Personally, I consider it a typical<br />

dish from Campania, one that my mum always prepares when I go back home. <strong>The</strong> following is<br />

her recipe.<br />

Ingredients (serves 6)<br />

1½ kg eggplants<br />

Some basil leaves<br />

150 g Parmigiano Reggiano<br />

1 dl olive oil<br />

3 eggs<br />

Fine salt<br />

500 g cheese (one that melts<br />

easily)<br />

2 cans of tomato sauce (250 g<br />

each)<br />

Sunflower oil (for frying)<br />

Procedure<br />

1. In a pan, pour the two cans of tomato sauce with a little<br />

oil and salt. When the sauce thickens, add the basil<br />

leaves and turn off the heat.<br />

2. Wash and dry the eggplants. Cut them into round<br />

slices about 1 centimetre thick.<br />

3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a little salt and a little<br />

parmesan cheese. In another bowl, put the flour. Coat<br />

the eggplant first in flour, then in egg.<br />

4. In a large frying pan, pour an abundance of sunflower<br />

oil, then fry the eggplants, a few at a time in order not<br />

to lower the oil temperature. Flip them on both sides,<br />

and then drain on a paper towel.<br />

5. Dab with other absorbent paper, and then put some<br />

of the tomato sauce on the bottom of an oven pan.<br />

Lay three slices of eggplant, a little sauce and grated<br />

parmesan, and a layer of cheese slices.<br />

6. Place another layer of eggplant and sauce, then again<br />

slices of parmesan, and again start over with a layer<br />

of eggplant. Continue until all ingredients are used up,<br />

ending with the eggplants. Cover with the remaining<br />

sauce and grated parmesan.<br />

7. Bake in preheated oven at 200°C for 40 minutes (if<br />

fan oven, bake at 180°C for 30 to 35 minutes). Once<br />

cooked, turn off the oven and leave the parmigiana<br />

inside to set better.<br />

ALT OM SALATER<br />

All about salads<br />

By Elise Lucotte<br />

Editor’s note: Salads are always healthy and refreshing accompaniments to daily meals, but what<br />

does it take to make great salads? Here, Elise Lucotte from France talks about how to create simple<br />

salads as well as dressings.<br />

An essential ingredient for any salad I make is tomatoes. Any kind of tomatoes. During winter, or if<br />

you don’t have access to nice tomatoes, you can use cherry tomatoes—they are always tasty! <strong>The</strong>n,<br />

the other essential is some salad of course (lettuce, roquette, mâche or a mix of them).<br />

With this basis, you can do whatever you want, but I will give you some examples of tested and approved<br />

combinations:<br />

• Blue cheese and walnut (you can add asparagus too!)<br />

• Sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts<br />

• Goat’s cheese and apples<br />

• Avocado and mozzarella or feta cheese, with some fresh basil<br />

Regarding meat, I like to add leftovers of barbecue meat or grilled meat in the salad if I have some.<br />

It adds a nice smoky taste. Some people like to add fried bacon, which is delicious with cheese, but<br />

I personally think this is a departure from the principle of a salad—which is to be healthy!<br />

Different salad dressings<br />

With the contents of the salad sorted out, the next thing you need to think about is the dressing.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are three basic dressings that are easy to prepare and enhance the flavour of your salad:<br />

• <strong>The</strong> very basic “vinaigrette” where you marry vinegar and oil with a ratio of one tablespoon<br />

of vinegar to two tablespoons of oil. You can make it with balsamic vinegar and<br />

olive oil or raspberry or walnut vinegar with neutral oil. I like to add shallots to the vinaigrette,<br />

especially with the raspberry vinegar! Add some salt and pepper to the mix. <strong>The</strong><br />

balsamic version goes well with any combination, and the raspberry/walnut one goes well<br />

with lettuce alone if you don’t have anything else. I like to mix olive oil with tomatoes.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> mustard version, where you add some mustard to your vinaigrette to bind the oil and<br />

vinegar. I typically add one teaspoon of mustard in the vinaigrette. Adjust to your liking<br />

and the strength of the mustard!<br />

• <strong>The</strong> sweet version, where you add a teaspoon of honey to your vinaigrette, preferably the<br />

balsamic version. It goes particularly well with a salad containing goat’s cheese.<br />

When is it best to eat a salad? Before or after the main course?<br />

This is a very hard question to ask to a French person. I will say that if you don’t have an entrée,<br />

salad before the main course is a good option because it fills your stomach and makes you eat less<br />

of a potentially more calorific main dish. However, it is also traditional to eat a salad after a big<br />

main dish (for example at Christmas) to have a fresh finish before dessert. It is generally associated<br />

with a cheese platter and some red wine of course!<br />

<strong>The</strong> perfect salad is not easy, because it really depends on your taste. I would say that the key is to<br />

not put too much dressing so as not to drown the taste of the other ingredients, and to have something<br />

that looks yummy! <strong>The</strong> ingredients should be of a good quality too, especially the tomatoes.<br />

JULEFROKOSTEN<br />

THE DANISH CHRISTMAS DINNER<br />

Sukkerbrunede kartofler (Caramelised potatoes)<br />

By Nathaniel Melican<br />

It might sound counterintuitive as we all like our potatoes salty, but this Danish Christmas classic<br />

really does the trick. <strong>The</strong>se caramelised potatoes pair well with savoury dishes in the Julefrokost<br />

table, such as flæskesteg or andesteg. And as a bonus, it’s very easy to make. Just be careful with<br />

the combination of molten sugar and butter—this could easily give you nasty burns. I can say that<br />

this recipe is approved by the Danish government, as I found it on denmark.dk, a website maintained<br />

by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. Want a cooking tip from the Danish government?<br />

Gâteau au yaourt<br />

By Elise Lucotte<br />

I baked this cake for the first time in kindergarten. It is a very easy recipe, and perfect to bake with<br />

kids. Indeed, everything is measured with a yoghurt pot. What is also interesting about this cake is<br />

that you can use any ingredients you like (fruit, chocolate chunks, dry fruits, hazelnuts—be imaginative!).<br />

I usually put 2 to 3 apples, cinnamon, brown rum, almonds and a lemon zest.<br />

Ingredients (serves 10)<br />

4 eggs<br />

3 teaspoons baking powder<br />

1 unflavoured yoghurt (if you<br />

have a big bottle, take one<br />

glass of yoghurt)<br />

Using the yoghurt pot (or the<br />

glass), measure:<br />

2 pots sugar<br />

3 pots white flour<br />

½ pot neutral oil (sunflower or<br />

peanut)<br />

Flavours and ingredients of<br />

your choice<br />

Procedure<br />

1. Pour the yoghurt in a big bowl and use the yoghurt<br />

pot as a measuring cup.<br />

2. Incorporate the rest of the ingredients. Mix thoroughly<br />

with a cooking whisk so the batter doesn’t form lumps.<br />

3. Add your special ingredient (or not!).<br />

4. In a cake mould, put either baking paper or spread<br />

butter and add flour so the cake doesn’t stick to the<br />

mould<br />

5. Pour the mixture in the cake mould and bake in the<br />

oven for approximately 30 min. at 180°C (the baking<br />

time will be longer if you add fruits).<br />
