A day in Copehagen traditionally begins with three ingredients: rye bread, eggs and coffee. Now, however, it has become fashionable to eat freshly baked crisp pastries from the artisanal bakeries that are scattered around the city (you have to be quick, though – they sell out early). This chapter includes breads and pastries, such as cinnamon or cardamom buns, which have been adapted for home cooks, as well as breakfasts for lazy days, including porridge with various toppings and breakfast plates with smoked meat and fish.
