Thanks, Iceflower & Polyesco 
Summary of article in Billed Bladet #35, 2017.
Written by Juliane Olsen.
Our Marie has an article in the serious consumer magazine, Samvirke.
In here she is talking about how she reduce food-waste in the family and give examples from her own family life, like how they don't fill up the fridge until it's near empty and how the children get leftover from the day before in their lunch boxes and how she makes "biksemad" from various leftovers.
It's all garnished with photos of Marie and her two children and it provides a rare glimpse into the kitchen in Villa Joachim.
Her old friend Caroline Fleming, for 17 years, posted a nice comment to Marie on Instagram.
Here is a closer look at the photos: https://app.box.com/s/j1antsdyk9ertiu32r2cnjmlexnca391

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #04, 2018.
Written by gastronomy writer, Henrik Salling.
Recently our Marie invited ten 6th graders from Helsingør School (*) home to teach them about not wasting food, also when cooking.
Marie received them at the door: "You come just as we are slicing onions and when we all have tears in our eyes".
To help her, were not only the children's teacher, but also TV-chef, Timm Vladimir and Selina Juol from Stop Wasting Food.
Such events have taken place before (perhaps with Marie?) but this time the press was invited as well.
Present were also Athena and Henrik, who we already know is being taught by their mother about not wasting food.
It has emerged that the Danes are throwing no less than 260.000 tons of food out every year. Food that could otherwise have been used.
That includes the stem from carrots which can be used in soup and so on. On that level.
So in that spirit the party went about cooking dinner, using as much as at all possible of the raw food.
Our reporter, Henrik Salling, may not be that interested in cooking because he seem more in looking at what machines were at place in the kitchen and what cookbooks were on the shelves...
This initiative is connected to the supermarket concept WeFood who sell goods that is close to expiry date. The proceeds goes to DanChurchAid.
- To that I can add that it is very common, certainly in the major cities and towns here in DK now for the stores, like bakers, to sell bulk bread and pastry at very affordable prices, just before closing time. People simply connect to an app, which tells them where and when and then go there. Our son and pride, who no longer lives at home is using that frequently.
The same thing applies in most supermarkets. Goods that are one day or so away from the expiry date are placed in a specific counter and sold at usually around 30 % less. And we often buy meat which we intend to eat the same day. Or you can simply put it in the freezer. - And there is good money to be saved on that account!
The supermarkets and business make money too. Because the food was supposed to be thrown out anyway and people tend to avoid full-priced food that is close to the expiry date. Now they sell most of that as well.
How common are such concepts in your countries? I assume it's far from unique to Denmark.
At the end Marie said: "I think it's so important to teach children and young about not wasting food. They are our future consumers".
(*) From an ordinary public school. Not a local school or Athena and Henrik's school.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #18, 2018.
Written by Dorte Quist.
In her capacity as patron for UNESCO Denmark, our Marie went to the geographical center of DK, Geopark Odsherred.
Over the past four years 3.000 clay-masks have been set up here and on this day the last 540 clay-masks were to be set up, all made by school children. So there were loads of school children present who gave Marie a very rapturous reception!
Marie was also to have her own mask set up, so she sat down at a table with a handful of children, and surrounded by multitudes more, she began to create her own mask.
She wasn't that pleased with the result though but up it went.
The masks constitute an exhibition called Geokids.
Of course there were also speeches, but that didn't bother anyone, because it was so windy that no one could really hear what was being said...
The whole show ended with Marie walking 2½ Km with 250 of the older children, from the top of one hill to another, in this post-glacial landscape.

You can tell our Marie has been on vacation in France for a while, she's speaking "Franish". 
There were a couple of minor grammatical errors and problems with the endings of the words (for which there is no French, nor English equivalent).
Still extremely easy to understand though.
She was asked what to her would be the perfect piece of jewellery. She easily dodged that one.
There is no perfect piece of jewellery. It all depends on who the presenter and recipient is and what is the story/occasion of the jewellery.
