Louisa Lorang

My culinary passion began early in life and has taken me on an exciting journey through kitchens and cultures worldwide. I have managed to combine my interest for food with my ability to convey stories through both words and recipes. My cooking is not just a series of recipes; it is a manifestation of my life experiences, cultural encounters, and personal journeys.

After completing my culinary education, I cheekily wrote to the weekly magazine Femina with suggestions to improve their food pages. Shortly after, I was invited to a meeting, and although I was heavily pregnant, I took up the challenge and started writing and developing recipes for the magazine. This was the beginning of a career where I have been able to combine my passion for food and writing.

When I travel, I always seek out authentic food experiences, and I often return home with suitcases filled with exciting ingredients and new ideas. My cooking is varied, but I have a particular fondness for savoury dishes. I am a strong advocate for eating seasonally and locally and believe that as a society, we should rediscover the joy of eating food that tastes of the season it comes from.

However, my life is much more than food. I am a mother of three children, and I have managed to find a balance between my professional life and my family life. Together with my husband, I have created a daily routine where the children are a natural part of my work life, and they often accompany me on trips and food experiences. We describe ourselves as a circus, where everyone helps each other and makes everyday life work.

I am a huge fan of Copenhagen and love the city. When I have been away, whether in Denmark or abroad, and return to the harbour and canals, I feel at home. At the same time, I also love travelling and finding inspiration in other cultures and cuisines, which is reflected in my cooking and my creative projects.
