Mamsen’s, the popular Norwegian-style deli on board Viking ships, is well-loved for its traditional Scandinavian fare.
One of the star attractions on the menu which commands a mention is Mamsen’s Waffles served with jam or Norwegian brown goat’s cheese called gjetost and guests savour the flavour of authentic Norway.
The waffles are featured in cookbook ’The Kitchen Table’ produced by Karine Hagen, daughter of Torstein Hagen, Chairman and CEO of Viking.
Karine included Mamsen’s famous recipe along with her favourite recipes from across the globe from her travels on Viking Cruises.
The waffles are based on Karine’s grandmother’s recipes and are served on special Norwegian plates designed by the Hagen family. The plates were found by Karine and her aunty in her grandmother’s kitchen. They served the family meals for decades and the design was replicated to honour Mamsen’s homely fare onboard.
The secret is out – here for you is the recipe for Mamsen’s Waffles.
