Cooking Classes
Lefse with Heidi 
Heidi Eger learned to make lefse with her grandmother and mother. In her class, she shares her great-grandmother's time-tested recipe and a lot of good information on how to make lefse that you'll be proud to share with your friends and family. Heidi believes that lefse is good regardless of shape. While she will show you techniques for rolling and frying a classic round lefse, she reminds students that even lefse in the shape of the state of Texas tastes good. $40

Heidi spends her winters working at Ingebretsen's and making lefse. She spends her summers farming, gravitating to the hilly regions of Minnesota.
Krumkake with Heidi
Come learn how to make the Scandinavian classic cookie, krumkake!
Class instructor, Heidi Eger, first made krumkake on her Great-Uncle's stove. Since then, she's tested different recipes and learned to use her iron for more than just classic krumkake. In this class, participants will mix up a batch of classic, cardamom flavored krumkake and a batch of nontraditional, spiced chocolate krumkake. We'll talk about recipe variations, different rolling techniques, and how to also use your Krumkake Maker to make Dutch Stroopwafels, waffle cones, sweet and savory Pizzelles, and Rommebrod. $35

Kransekake with Brenda Lewis
A kransekake is the commanding centerpiece dessert at Norwegian weddings, graduations, baptisms, and other major life events. Made with ground almonds and consisting of tiers of wreath-shaped layers, the cake has a rich taste and texture that is uniquely its own. Learn to make this impressive cake with Brenda Lewis. Brenda learned from long-time Ingebretsen's instructor, Lorraine Jasinski and she won a blue ribbon at the Minnesota State Fair with her kransekake! Brenda will walk you through the steps of making a kransekake in this hands-on class and give you the confidence to bake one on your own (using a Kransekake Ring Set). One two-hour class - $45
This class is held in the Hanson Room at Norway House, 913 E. Franklin Ave. Minneapolis.

Foraging within the City Limits – A springtime foraging event
with Sam Thayer and Maria Wesserle
Book signing with Sam Thayer to follow!
The practice of foraging plants for edible and medicinal purposes is often associated with rural and wilderness areas, but did you know that many delicious wild edibles can be found in cities? Join Ingebretsen's, local forager Maria Wesserle, and celebrated author Sam Thayer as we walk around the neighborhood and explore what wild edibles and medicinals spring has to offer. Plants we will probably encounter include garlic mustard, burdock, cattail, nettle, dandelion, and many others! We will discuss identification, harvesting, and cooking techniques. You'll head home with a newfound appreciation for the urban environment! $55
This class will start and end at Ingebretsen’s classroom, 1605 E. Lake Street. The rest of the time we will be walking, so please wear comfortable shoes, bring a water bottle and a notepad and pen. You’ll be sure to take a lot of notes!
After the event, Sam will sign and sell his books.
