By A Customer

This review is from: Authentic Norwegian Cooking (Hardcover)

It's one of my favorite cookbooks. Being a norwegian descendent I love norwegian food. Astrid Karlsen Scott's "Authentic Norwegian Cookbook" made finding good food easy. The book contains lots of pictures so you can compare yours with hers. Her cookbook offers easy to follow recipes so anyone with cooking skills can follow. I thought this was the greatest cookbook for norwegian food I've come across so far!

This review is from: Authentic Norwegian Cooking (Hardcover)

Dedicated to promoting and preserving Norwegian tradition and cultural heritage, Astrid Karlsen Scott is an emigrant from Oslo, Norway, and president of Nordic Adventures. In Authentic Norwegian Cooking, Astrid has compiled more than three hundred wonderful recipes showcasing Norway's culinary history. Enahanced with 16 pages of color photography, Authentic Norwegian Cooking also features a "Norwegian Table Prayer"; party suggestions, "Special Helps", and a "user friendly" recipe index. From Dyrestek med viltsaus (Reindeer Roast with Game Sauce); Norvegiafylte poteter (Norvegia Filled Potatoes); and Eggedosis (Traditional 17th of May Dessert); to Seterjentas rommebrod (The Dairymaid's Wafers); Gjetost dessertsaus (Goat Cheese Dessert Sauce); and Stekt gds (Roast Goose), Authentic Norwegian Cooking truly lives up to its title and would make a welcome addition to any kitchen multicultural and ethnic cookbook collection!
