Free dinner and cooking fun with Mette Blomsterberg

Free dinner and cooking fun with Mette Blomsterberg: Tuesday 3 November 2026, 16:30–18:00, Kolding Bibliotek, Kolding. Admission is free.

How do you make vegetables a natural part of family meals - and how do you make them exciting for both children and adults?

This afternoon and evening focuses on taste, food joy, and green ideas for everyday life. On stage is Mette Blomsterberg, known from her sweet kitchen, but this time it's about vegetables and inspiration for family dinner. The moderator is DR food journalist Laura Bøge Mortensen, and children from the audience are invited on stage for cooking activities.

Among other things, vegetables will be cut in a fun and safe way, a green dip will be blended for vegetable sticks, and a secret smoothie will be made where a brave parent has to guess the ingredients. There are tastings and small challenges along the way, and at the tables children can draw and colour motifs with fruit and vegetables.

After the stage show, everyone gathers for a shared family dinner with Mette Blomsterberg's greener lasagne, vegetable sticks with homemade green dip, and smoothie for dessert. It's not about rules or lectures, but about tasting and getting inspired together - with the hope that you go home with a new idea for dinner.

Registration must be completed by 29 October, and you can also indicate any allergens that need to be considered.
