FINALLY SOME SNOW COMING TO SVALBARD! COZY SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!
IT HAS BEGUUUUN! 😍
American here...Before you even mentioned the scale that was my exact thought. I feel the customer that is going to purchase your delightful cookbook would be savvy enough to want (or already have) a scale for accuracy. Scales are so inexpensive and so easy to use. For anyone giving the book as a gift they could complement it with a scale for a complete package. ❤❤❤
Exactly what I was thinking. We already have a scale that can do grams and my measuring cups have mil on them
I was thinking she should sell a scale for merch.
Good idea!
Such a perfect idea for Christmas gift …the book with a scale…love it❤
Yes as an American I already use grams for baking. I love my scale!
Grim nomming his treat brought me more joy than it should. He was such a cutie in this video.
I’m so glad you’re back to your regular schedule. Sunday mornings are just so much better with a coffee and your vlog.☺️
I get why you enjoy your "Alone" weekends. My husband is a Wildlife photographer, works from home, I'm an Artist work from home. we are together 24/7. We get along great, but I do look forward to his road trips away. Something about doing what you like when you like and not having to be concerned with anyone else. If I want to sit and read there are no interruptions. Pure joy.
There is no better way to start my sundays! Then a cup of coffee and a cozy Svalbard video by you! 🩷
American here! I have been using a kitchen scale for many years for baking purposes. It also comes in handy when I find a recipe from a different country. Americans who enjoy baking, probably own a kitchen scale.
have never used a scale...be willing to bet that most Americans do NOT own a scale
Yes I have noticed in the last several years that Americans are using scales more and more when baking & less things to wash when you’re finished.
@@amyz673I think you’re right, and also MORE Americans are using scales to bake these days than in the last forty years.
Ooo I love my kitchen scale! I use it a lot more than I thought I would as I'm not a huge baker. Worth the buy!
*American also :)
Americans are using scales. I bought one for several reasons. One being with sm, many delicious recipes are in grams. I love my scale and look forward to this years cookbook.
American here! We cook and bake at work and for the sake of adjusting quantities quickly, we use grams and kitchen scales. Scales are CHEAP! I learned to do this at my last job with a Michelin-star chef who only used grams on his recipes as well.
22:22 I think you’d be doing new bakers a great service by having Christopher explain in more detail why grams are the preferred measurement for bakers around the world- including the U.S. Once people understand why the precision offered by grams is so crucial for a great bake, I’d imagine they wouldn’t WANT any other measurement!
We need someone to explain why a system that provides more accuracy is better for baking which requires more accuracy, in general, than cooking? Is this a product of not teaching critical thinking anymore? Really?
Cecilia, you deserve all the subscribers and recognition your channel can get. It’s clear how much work and passion you put into each video. Can’t wait to see winter in Svalbard as it’s still 85 degree where I live and I’m dying to be able to wear sweaters and flannel!
When I watch your vlogs, I AM IN SVALBARD. What a beautiful, calm looking place. I love wintry weather. And that dog...! Yes, Svalbard is on my bucket list.
Cecelia. I am an elder Canadian. We understand metric and imperial just fine. Any American smart enough to watch you can handle grams. Forget the rest of them. Cheers and enjoy your day. I appreciate the calm cool gentle demeanour you show. Very much like my daughter. Carry on MacDuff.
SNOW!! You have made me relax with winter. I actually enjoy it now because of you ..I escape my crazy world by watching you. Was in Greece this summer and struck up a conversation with another tourist. Ends up he watches you all the time as well!! Love you and Christoffer. And of course Grimm. Never seen such beautiful eyes on a dog…ever!!
Scottish person here. First of I adore your channel and as someone has already said, you deserve all the recognition you can get. It is so evident how hard you work to give us a look into a world some of us can only dream of. Re the measurements, I follow many bakers and chefs from around the world and I’m so used to converting. I wouldn’t even consider it a problem when compiling your cookbook. I have an old scale that does both grams and ounces but if in doubt I just ask Alexa or good old Google ❤️
Another American who already bakes with a scale using grams. I think it’s perfectly fine to not do the conversion. It’s sweet that you considered it, but not necessary 😀 I love and appreciate all your work and look forward to everything that you so generously share with us all 😍
Oh my goodness fire and warm drink season is official!!!
I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it.
In America. We bake and we love using grams as a measurement. It really is more accurate. Having a kitchen scale is much more common now than it used to be. Just do your measurements in grams, you'll be fine!
A kitchen scale is all you need; they are easy to pick up. So, make the recipe in grams (metric measurement)! No problem 💕
Hello from Canada! We too, are starting to feel the change of season, but I love how excited you are about polar night! I was drawn to your channel because of my heritage…I am Canadian but my paternal grandparents came from Norway and settled in one of our prairie provinces. Some of your daily habits like airing your bedding,snacking on knackenbrod and going outside in all weather to enjoy nature seem so familiar to me! 😍Good luck with the book launch!
American here! I agree with what others have said- I feel like the people that are purchasing your book are probably going to have a scale or will be more than willing to get one. I personally appreciate recipes that are in grams because I know they are more precise and accurate. If they don’t have one, they’re available on Amazon for less than $10
P.s. I purchased your baking recipe book last year and really loved the caramel yum yums! Can’t wait for this new set of recipes!
Ordered our copy of Life on Svalbard a few weeks ago. Eagerly awaiting its arrival!
Thank youuu! Launch day is just around the corner now! 😊
Just paused the video & this librarian ordered a signed copy. Looking forward to reading it & the pictures of Grim also. Shhh, don't tell my cat, Rory Pond.❤
Just ordered a signed book last week. It already looks so beautiful in your video! Can’t wait to have and read it. Also, such a cozy and lovely video this week!! And Grimm is so cute and beautiful!! And I will definitely look into the new cook/bake book that is coming. Living in the Netherlands, we also weigh in grams, so no issues here. Have a lovely day and enjoy!!! 😊 👍🐕😍
As always, I am writing from sunny, warm (ok, stifling hot!) Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Enjoy your lovely snow and be safe! Sending you love from the other end of the world!!!!!
Sundays with Cecilia and Grim. Missed you Christopher but hoping you enjoyed the guy weekend. Looking forward to the book arriving. 💜
We’re a military family living in Texas but I’m originally from Massachusetts. Your videos remind me of cozy winters back home 🥹
Digital scales are cheap and so easy to use, dogs just make the world better ❤
Only grams! My pastry chef husband will thank you.
I’m a Canadian… I always weigh my ingredients for baking. So grams works for me 😊
I have a kitchen scale, so switching to grams would work for me (and if you don't have a kitchen scale and you cook, it's the best $20 you'll ever spend).
Love the coming cozy days and nights too! Your cabin is just stunning! And Grim is just too adorable for words. His tail always wagging, and he sure loves the coming season as well!😍
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪...our stove is burning and everything is so cozy...love the seasons changing
My baking got so much better once I bought a digital scale and started using grams. I also find it much easier overall, since then you can just put your mixing bowl on the scale and don’t need measuring cups when adding ingredients. Looking forward to your cookbook!
Ooh I’m glad Christoffer is enjoying the new cabin too!! How fun ❤
I think this might be the Cosiest video you have ever produced! I put it on, fell asleep. Put it on again... Fell asleep again! Then the third time I watched it but it was a Fantastic 50min nap on a rainy Sunday Afternoon! Thank you.
I prefer your town under snow even know I wish your Autumn lasted a few weeks longer because the browns and greens and overall Gloomy vibe is a whole Mood! The snow makes it beautiful on another level! Also 2 degrees where I live means it's the dead of Winter! And we don't even get snow, we're just cold! 😅
I'm about to buy a scale because right now I use a mixture of cups and grams... 1 cup = 200g flour, sugar ... It works for me even know I lose or gain a few grams here and there... It's just home baking so it's ok.
Grim is Loving the snow and doesn't want to stay in the house anymore! 🤣 I think he Hibernates in Summer!
Also American and own a scale. I think people who don’t have one would be willing to get one if they want your recipes!
I preordered your book before knowing you were doing signed ones so I’m kind of sad about that but still so excited to finally get it!
Grams is great for me in the US. I’ll definitely buy this year’s book! I try to bake in grams when possible for accuracy.
Agreed! Also in US and working with grams is easy. Cooking demo with instructions from Grim or Cristofer would also be fun!
Really enjoyed your video Cecilia! Thank you for sharing your life with us!❤
I’m so jealous. In NW Ohio we seem to get less and less snow every year.😢But I can’t wait to sit in front of a fire with my copy of Life on Svalbard to live vicariously through you! ❄️ Polar night…bring it on.
🙋🏻♀️ I’m in NW Ohio too!! I agree, I wish we had more snow. It used to be awesome! I miss it too
I’m in Pittsburgh, and that’s the same way here. Less snow than usual! Sometimes that’s good and yet sometimes it’s blah. My daughter and her friends only got to go sledding once last winter!
Single, solo, caravan dwelling disabled American. I wouldn't buy it now, since there's no one to cook for. But I would have back when I I had a houseful. I used to make these "world famous" cinnamon sticky buns that took more than hours start to finish but were completely worth the time and effort.❤ measurements are everything, and I do own a scale and a conversion chart.
If you ever decided to do a 1-2 serving cook book or baking guide I'd definitely be interested. I have an Itty bitty RV freezer so more than that is too much❤
Cecelia, I live in New Jersey USA. I prefer measuring my ingredients in grams! Yes, my OXO brand scale does measure in both gms and ounces. I bought both cookbooks last year. I’ll probably get this years’, and have no problem using grams. ❤
Love my OXO scale! I use it all the time.
I look so forward to your videos. I'm an American living in Las Vegas, so the differences between our environments couldn't be any more different which is why I am so captivated by your world. Also, watching your videos give me a feeling a calm. Thank you for that!
I love your joy with the cozy darkness! I’ve never understood those people who don’t see the beauty in the colder weather and snow! I had an Australian shepherd, Taylor, who couldn’t wait for the snow and fresh cold air…kindred spirit with Grim!❤️
There is just something about you getting all exited for the darkness that makes me appreciate autumns early evenings so much more!
Oh my, tell us about that “clear dome” a house has in the video where Christopher is zooming in the choppy water. Looks fun!
I noticed that too!
My cozy weather won't be here for a month but you're getting me in the mood. Have a spectacular week Cecilia. Best regards, Celita C
My fav season (together with fall🤗) . Greetings from Kansas USA (the heart of America), one day you guys come to visit I'll show you around 🤗 love your channel. 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 🇺🇸
Watching with lots of love from 🇿🇦 South Africa
☀️☀️☀️
II love your videos. The story, editing and cinematography is epic❤.
Thank you so much! 😊
She really is magic!
Your videos slow me down. I am loving my autumn with my cozy lights and fall colors. I am in the mountains and I love this time of year and then my snowy winters, but your joy has shown me how to get MORE from them!💙
"It's not too windy!" She says as her hair blows every-which-way and she shivers 😂 heehee I love my Sunday Mornings with Cecilia
I know others have said this, but a serious American baker has a scale. I sometimes look up British recipes online and find them very easy to follow due to the weight measurements. I also like the idea someone else posted of gifting a scale with the recipes. I can’t wait to try some of your holiday treats!
Grams is fine! I have a kitchen scale and I bake a lot!
I down loaded a cookbook last year and I've pre-ordered your book. Very excited and can't wait!
I agree! I am from the US (living in MX) and love to bake. I bought a $10 kitchen scale years ago and the measurements are so much more accurate! Folks, if you bake and don't have a scale, please get one. You can convert oz to grams with one button. Even for your flour. Your baked good will be so much better!
American here: I love watching your videos and seeing how things are so different. Grim is such a good boy, I'm glad you have him to keep you company this weekend. I've not read throne of glass but I have read Sarah's crescent city and a court of throne and roses and can recommend both series! Stay cozy ❤
Your videos are so calming for the soul, locking out all the outside world noise and chaos. My favorite part is your music choice… To me it is like ‘New Age’ - very mellow and relaxing. Grim is previous! Thank you!
Grim is the best pooch ever, he's so chilled out
Thanks to you, Sundays are more interesting!!! I really love winter but in my country it's usually too short ...So your videos ,with the absolute cozy atmosphere, make me feel sooo good 😊🥰
Hello from Virginia, USA. I really enjoy watching your videos. I like the cooler weather as well, though I'm not sure I could do without my beloved trees. I think converting for the recipes is easy enough.
Congratulations on your beautiful book. ❤
UK I use grams or pounds/ounces. I do use cups but when it comes to baking, you have to be very accurate so I prefer grams❤
I have a migraine today and just feeling a bit sorry for myself in general, but Cecilia's videos ALWAYS, without fail, give me such joy and this warm, peaceful serenity after watching❤ I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Cecilia and the handsome Grim, and am counting the days to polar night and the incredible aurora that follows. This is my favourite TH-cam channel, one I never get tired of or take a break from. I can't wait to receive my book, too!!!😍
Awww thank you so so so much for the kind words and for ordering my book! ❤️❤️ I hope you feel better soon and thank you for the input on the recipr guide 🙏🏻😊
I Love your attitude and personality. You are so uplifting. Here in the States we are enduring the sad reports of those hit by hurricane Helene in the southern states of Tennessee and western North Carolina. It’s 💔…..watching your video helped me take my mind off of it for a little bit. Thank You.
Love hearing waves in the dark, it’s calm but a little scarry, sorry about my english (french here😁)😊👍
Hello.. Happy Sunday ❤ y'all. Hope u have such a awesome week.. yay
You too!! 😊
I'm both excited for you and jealous too as we roast here in Cape Town
Thank you Cecilia for this very nice video. Grim is always so happy with you! He is a cutie. Beautiful scenery with the snowfall and the colours of the evening were extraordinarily amazing. Take care 🪻💕🍀
Cecilia and SJM??? MY FAVORITES IN THE WHOLE WORLD
Seeing the seasonal shift like this gets me so excited 🍁❄️ I can’t wait for polar night and all the cozy that comes with it. Plus loved seeing you walk Grim with the snow started on the ground 🥰 and yes make it only in grams because this would be most accurate 😊
Just grams! Most proper bakers use a scale versus cups (I’m in Texas) Much more precise ❤️ Love the return of the cozy season and the beautiful night sky. Can’t wait for Northern lights!!
Weather is beautiful here in Massachusetts, hoping your book is a huge success!!!
Cozy season started!!!❤❤Grim stayed with you? How even more cozy❤❤Oh and I ordered a signed copy, eekkk I cannot wait
I bought the last two and convert as needed
Using a scale is easy and results in a better finished product. Looking forward to the next recipes.❤
Ordered your book from my favorite bookseller - set to ship on 15 October. Looking forward to curling up by the fire this winter with a hot cup of tea and your book to keep me warm and cozy. Thank you for all that you do for the community.
Awesome 🥹! Thank you!🩵
USA here. I would by cook book and use it with no conversion. Love the tranquility that your videos give me and the views are spectacular. I normally hate the cold anything bellow 50 F is too cold for me. With that said your videos have giving me a bucket list - take a year or two and live in a northdic town and experience the weather and the nature that is there. That is a bucket list dream! For now will continue to watch and experience the views you provide.
I have 24:35 24:36 24:38 n converting to grams. I find it actually easier than cups (American here). Though I know some people find the idea of changing to grams hard it's actually easy. I originally bought my kitchen scale to use for dividing a skein of yarn into two equal amounts for knitting socks! Then I use a cheap Mr Coffee drip machine to make my coffee & discovered if I weighed the amount of coffee I was using I could get a reliable good cup of coffee every time rather than measuring by a spoon. So easy. And the kitchen scales are available in a wide variety of prices I think I paid $10 US dollars for mine at my local pharmacy CVS.
If I had that view everyday, I'd feel like I was on vacation. ❤
Once I started watching the British baking show some years ago I converted to weight. So much easier! Not to mention the accuracy. I think others who are passionate about baking will be fine with those measurements. I also agree with what someone else said about including a blurb about the necessity of accuracy in baking would be helpful for those on the fence
it's nice to see you without any makeup. and i really like your drone footage.
Cup is nice with pumpkin and colours 😊
We need your mugs! So cute, you should sell them!!!!!! Please 🙏
It's 2am in Australia, I'm happy I couldn't sleep and got to see a new video so early! I'm so envious of your transition into Autumn and Winter, it's Spring here in Aus and warming up (28C tomorrow) I do NOT like the warm weather! Svalbard temperatures and polar night would be ideal for me. I have pre ordered your book but it's being put away as a Christmas present from my Mum. It's going to be a looong wait!! Thanks for a lovely video Cecilia. The cabin looks so cosy 🔥
(Having grams as the only measurement in baking is definitely ok)
Grateful for the bonus Grim content this week and glad you're back to weekly posts. ❤
My favorite thing is clean sheets, it comes from , growing up and my mother drying our sheets on the clothes line😊 God Bless
I got notification that your book is arriving to me Oct 15! Very excited to receive it!! 😃😃😃 cheers from 🇨🇦 My husband and I seriously are considering a trip to Svalbard!!!
Oh my goodness, it’s 109 degrees in Arizona, we are in the summer that never seems to end!❤
I feel you! I used to live in AZ. Now I'm 1200 miles south of you in Puerto Vallarta! It's averaging about 90 here with 90% humidity these days. 🥵😝😆
So wonderful Cecilia! Videos on Christopher all alone on the cabin off grid, please ❤🎉
Weighing is the proper method for baking, even in America Love your channel! Cindy & Brian
So grateful for your channel! 😊 Loving the coziness, the orange of autumn and the idea of being alone in a cabin in Svalbard. ❤️ I feel like I'm chilling with you and Grim at the ocean. As to the recipes with grams, as an American I do have a kitchen scale so doing grams would be a piece of cake. Not the norm for us, but more and more recipes come out online from others countries so we have to adapt. 😄 🤣 Love your video.
Good Morning Cecilia ☕️ ☕️💜
Belugas are adorable and so sad reading about the Beluga in Norway recently. I love the coziness of this time too and your cabin the ultimate in coziness with the fire and Grim and your books. Looking forward to hearing what Christoffer and his mates have been up to, leveling the cabin, perhaps?
Whats happening in Norway?
I was thinking the same thing! With the wind how does it stay intact? During pandemic a local restaurant here started using them on terrace that overlooks the beautiful creek in town. They call them igloos and still use them each winter.
@@SewWhittle Hi, if you search “beluga in Norway” you will see about this one beluga whale… Hvaldimir as he was fondly known..
American here. I’ve been using the scale for baking for a while. It is much more accurate! Thank you for thinking about it though. Love your videos.❤
I live by the Great Lakes in North America. Love autumn and winter - bring on the cozy!!
Grim is such a handome polar pup. ❤ Good to see you Cecelia! I'll be enjoying polar night with you this year.
Cozy cozy is everything!
Just the sound of your voice, Riley my Rottweiler comes running to watch with me! We love all your videos! She especially enjoys Grim & the whales. And...USA here...weighing ingredients is actually the best way for a perfect recipe!
Greetings from NYC! I’m so excited that cozy season is officially back. Wishing your Christopher a safe return in due course.
American here without a scale BUT I will go buy one for when the cookbook is released. 😊
You rock! 👍
Cooking in grams and using a kitchen scale has been life-changing for this American! So much easier!
Hello from Southern CA 👋🏻 It’s been in the high 80’s and 90’s F this past week and watching your cozy video is so calming and relaxing. We don’t get snow in this part of CA so your videos are a nice departure from the sun. And grams are fine! We’re used to converting for cooking or baking.
Congrats on the book and 856k subscribers🎉 we joined you at 36k 😊
I’m a Brit living in America! My scale has both cups and grams etc. Grams for me is great 👍🏻
I’m an American and say do it in grams. I feel us home cooks need to learn how to bake this way. Love learning about your culture. My grandmother was born and raised in Norway and other family came from Sweden. My dream is to come and visit these 2 countries.
I love this house.
I don’t envy winter coming so early. I live in Northern Canada and while we have not had frost, I know by the time November comes winter will arrive.
I cook but don't bake much, but I've found that when it comes to baking precision really is key to making anything turn out proper. I'd go with grams, most people who do home baking have a kitchen scale.
