Princess Marie, along with a number of food and chefs, has been contributing to the boil "food with respect - a family cookbook that cuts food", containing 80 food recipes.
The presentation of the book took place today at the publisher gyldendal in Copenhagen, and at the book launch Marie gave her speech.

A thing worth putting focus on indeed!
On average each Dane discard more than 40 kilos of perfectly edible food a year.
It's an astonishing waste - despite improvements, because even more food was discarded beforehand!
- If each adult eat a kilo of food a day on average, you do the math.
That a whole month of eating well each year!
Or one month off the food bill per person per year!
Don't know about you, but the Muhler household is currently down to 3½ person and I will estimate we discard perhaps half that amount per person a year. Or around 20 kilos per person a year. That's nevertheless still close to a months worth of food per person, per year.
And converted to money that's roughly 50 DKK X 20 X 3½ per year = 3.500 DKK a year (a fairly conservative estimate) or 468 € = 518 $ = 402 £. - That could potentially be saved a year by our household.
And since we live in rural Jutland, where the food prices are generally lower and we have way easier access to meat, poultry, vegetables and diary products purchased without paying vat  our food budget is considerably lower than in the cities.
Not to mention that we regularly make a pilgrimage to Germany with our trailer to shop.
(All - well, almost - Jutlandic cars are per default born with a hook for a trailer, hence why a "Jutlander-hook" is a slang-name for a trailer-hook here in DK.)
Which reduce our monthly expenses even more.
In Copenhagen the food-prices are much higher.

Here's a video:
This morning, November 7, Princess Marie as Patron of Alliance Française opened an exhibition with a number of late Prince Henrik's literary works in Odense:

Thanks, Eya. 
A nice interview.
However, we don't only eat rye-bread here i DK. We eat a lot of it, very true, but also very much white bread in all forms and shapes.
But many have cut down on white bread as it is more fattening. And rye-bread is indeed much better for the digestion.
- Rye-bread is also better for the dog, when she manages to persuade her humans to give her a slice with liver pate.

It's a nice speech she is giving.
Of more immediate interest to us here on TRF perhaps, is that our Marie's Danish has not reverted from her prolonged stay in France, as could have been expected.
Her pronunciation is just as good as it was before she left for France, nor is her accent more pronounced.
But as has been mentioned before, Marie clearly has a talent for languages.

and probably practices at home with husband and children. Good language learners know the importance of 'use it or lose it'.
