Platte kaas met radijsjesQuark and radish on brown bread

In Flanders the evening meal is often a boterham, a plate of open bread slices, and one of the most loved toppings in Ghent and Antwerp is platte kaas: fresh, soft quark seasoned with chives, salt and pepper, spread thickly on brown bread and covered with crunchy radish slices. It is cool, light and ready in five minutes, a good supper after a big lunch. Some quark and fresh cheeses are set with a little animal rennet, so check the label for a vegetarian one. The common mistake is using thin, low-fat quark straight from the tub, which is watery and slides off the bread; stir it well and drain off any liquid first. Chef's tip: slice the radishes paper-thin and salt them only at the moment you serve, so they stay crisp.

Matpakke (Norwegian packed lunch)

Nearly every Norwegian child carries a matpakke to school: slices of wholemeal bread, each with one simple topping, stacked with sheets of sandwich paper in between and wrapped in a neat parcel. Yellow cheese, sweet caramel-like brown cheese (brunost) and jam are the classics, with cucumber or pepper sticks on the side; liver paste is the meaty favourite. It is plain, filling and built to survive a school bag. It contains gluten (wheat) and milk. Chef's tip: keep wet toppings like tomato out of the stack; they make the bread soggy by lunchtime.

Brunost on breadBrown cheese on bread

Brunost, the brown cheese of Norway, is not really cheese but whey boiled for hours until its milk sugars caramelise into a fudge-like block. In Gudbrandsdalen and across the country it is shaved paper-thin with a cheese slicer onto buttered bread at breakfast, packed into school lunch boxes (matpakke) and laid on hot heart-shaped waffles at weekends. The whey comes from cheesemaking that often uses animal rennet, so strict vegetarians should check the label. A common mistake is cutting it in thick chunks; it is sweet and rich and meant to be almost see-through. Chef's tip: use a proper flat cheese slicer, and add a few slices of tart apple or jam on top to balance the sweetness.
