Festbordet i spisestua ble gjenskapt da boken om Bjørnsonfamiliens mattradisjoner - "Til bords med Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson" - ble produsert.

Løvepudding med rød saus var en populær dessert for små og store på Aulestad.

THE DINING ROOM

The green turquoise colour of the music room was also chosen by Karoline for the dining room, she designed the ceiling herself using skirting from Italian patterns. Here everything was set for parties, with the couple sitting at the end of the table. Today gifts from friends surround the table.

When there were no guests or festivities, the Bjørnson family normally ate what was served in the kitchen. Pancakes were the favourite food.
