Step into the warmth of a Danish Christmas, where the kitchen is filled with the aroma of spices, glasses of warm gløgg are shared, and homemade treats are made to give to the people you love. It’s a lovely experience to share with a home baker or Christmas-loving friend, or simply a chance to slow down and enjoy some festive creativity in the kitchen.
What you'll make
  • Pebernødder – small, crisp pepper-spiced cookies
  • Vaniljekranse – delicate vanilla butter cookies
  • Brunkager – thin, crisp gingerbread-style cookies
  • Danish gløgg – aromatic spiced mulled juice
  • Woven Christmas hearts – a traditional Danish paper craft used as a decoration or packaging for small gifts
You’ll learn different techniques including working with chilled dough, piping, rolling, and cutting. But there’s more than baking involved! While your cookies cool, you’ll make a traditional woven Danish Christmas heart from pre-cut paper strips. You’ll learn how to use it to decorate small gift packets of your homemade cookies — a lovely way to share your baking with friends, family, or colleagues.
You’ll take home your freshly baked cookies, prepared brunkager dough to bake at home, your handmade Christmas heart, and recipes so you can recreate the Danish Christmas experience in your own kitchen.

I’m a Public Health Nutritionist, cooking instructor, and lifelong learner who believes food is more than fuel!
My relationship with food began in Bulgaria, growing up as a fussy eater, disliking most home-cooked food. But everything changed in my early 20s, after going through a health scare. The experience sparked a deep interest in preventative health and led me to study Public Health Nutrition in Denmark. During this time, I taught myself to cook, bake, and ferment.
While writing my Master’s thesis, I moved to Melbourne and fell headfirst into its vibrant food scene. The diversity of ingredients, flavours, and cuisines was transformative. I discovered a passion for teaching while managing the production kitchen at SisterWorks. There, I led healthy cooking classes for women from around the world and saw firsthand how food could be a bridge: building confidence, sharing culture, and creating community. Since then, I’ve run community workshops, worked in commercial kitchens, and continued to explore how food can nourish both people and planet.
My teaching style is grounded in simplicity, sustainability, and joy. I share practical nutrition tips, tricks from professional kitchens, and celebrate seasonal, local produce with minimal waste.
Whether I’m leading a class or chatting over a shared meal, I love that moment when something clicks — when someone realises that healthy, delicious food doesn’t have to be complicated.
