Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
No color photos to follow here; but over 200 recipes are relatively easy to follow and don't require completed dishes to prove simple to duplicate. This is basic European cooking for the most part; from meat pies and beef stews to puddings and casseroles. -- Midwest Book Review

Just like Grandma's cooking...,
By
This review is from: The Best of Finnish Cooking (Paperback)
I have tried for years to duplicate my Finnish grandmother's cooking. Asking for her recipes is hopeless...in her mind she just throws things in a pan and they come out that tasty. (She is constantly telling me it is not worth my time because her only secret is that Finnish cows, chickens, and fish are much happier and treated nicer than American animals, and therefore taste better.) This book is the first (and only, so far) Finnish recipe book I've found that carries many of our family's traditional recipes. It is easy to follow and I have had success with every recipe I have tried.

Good solid recipes of good solid food,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of Finnish Cooking (Paperback)
Pity there's no pictures, but the food is filling and tasty. I expect almost all sales will be to Americans of Finnish and part Finnish descent, like my wife, but I'm not and I can tell the rest of you - Finnish food is good! And these recipes make it easy to cook.
