This review is from: Scandinavian Cooking: Classic Cooking from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland (Hardcover)

This great cookbook has a wealth of Scandinavian recipes (113, if I counted correctly), organized into seven chapters: soups, appetizers and snacks, fish and shellfish, meat poultry and game, vegetable dishes and salads, desserts, and cakes cookies and breads. Each recipe has the flag of its country of origin, so you can even pick-and-choose among the nation of your choice, if you so wish.

The text is reasonably large, and the book is large enough to lay open without anything holding it open, which I liked. Wonderful pictures are scattered throughout, thought I could have wished for more. (That's a small complaint, though.)

So far, I have made the Potato Dumplings Stuffed with Bacon (p.56) and the Sour Cream Waffles (p. 96), and both were delicious! I am planning on making several other things, but I have no basis to comment on them, yet. Overall, I found this to be a very nice cookbook, one well worth having!

This review is from: Scandinavian Cooking: Classic Cooking from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland (Hardcover)

I particularly enjoy this scandinavian cookbook as there is an even spread of recipes with obtainable ingredients. So often scandinavian cookboks are tilted towards more seafood recipes or recipes with things like cloudberries and so on which are impossible to get.

This book probably has more meat dishes than seafood dishes which really appealed to me. All the recipes in this book are quite simple meaning you can make a full course scandinavian meal quite easily. Some of my favourite recipes include pork with apples, stuffed potato dumplings, ollebrod and cake from jamtland. Overall an easy book, lots of colourful photos of completed dishes and I would highly recommend.
