How did I get this recipe?

I can still remember the exact moment I discovered this recipe for Marinert Edamerost. It was many years ago, when I was just a young girl living in a small village in Norway. My family lived on a farm, and cooking was a big part of our daily routine. My mother and grandmother were both amazing cooks, and they passed down their knowledge and love for food to me.

One day, a neighbor invited us over for a special dinner. As we sat down at their table, I noticed a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. I asked our hostess what she was cooking, and she told me she was making Marinert Edamerost, a traditional Norwegian dish made with marinated cheese.

I was intrigued by the idea of marinating cheese, as I had never heard of such a thing before. I watched closely as our neighbor prepared the dish, taking notes in my mind of each step and ingredient she used. The combination of cheese, vinegar, and spices seemed strange to me at first, but as soon as I tasted the finished product, I was hooked.

I begged our neighbor for the recipe, and she graciously agreed to share it with me. I rushed home that night, eager to try my hand at making Marinert Edamerost for my own family. As I gathered the ingredients and followed the steps I had memorized, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

When I presented the dish to my family, they were amazed at how delicious it was. From that moment on, Marinert Edamerost became a staple in our household. I made it for special occasions, family gatherings, and even just as a simple snack to enjoy on a lazy afternoon.

Over the years, I have tweaked the recipe to suit my own tastes and preferences. I have added extra herbs and spices, experimented with different types of cheese, and even tried marinating the cheese for longer periods of time to enhance the flavor.

As I grew older and started my own family, I passed down the recipe for Marinert Edamerost to my children and grandchildren. It has become a beloved family tradition, a dish that we all look forward to making and sharing together.

I am grateful to that kind neighbor who introduced me to this recipe so many years ago. It has brought joy and warmth to my family for generations, and I hope it will continue to do so for many more years to come.
