Finnish Recipes and Traditions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Suomi Specialties Finnish Celebrations (Paperback)
Sinikka Grönberg Garcia, author of Suomi Specialties: Finnish Celebrations, Traditions and Recipes, claims to be mostly Finn even though she has lived in the United States for over forty years. A Karelian refugee from the 1941 Russian-Finnish War, she says her bond to Finnishness grew through the hardships as well as good times. This book presents the traditions and customs that represent a national pride and fortitude. Told with warmth, Sinikka's memories lend an understanding to what it means to be a Finnish American. Along with the ways and means of holidays, customs, and celebrations, traditional recipes are included with helpful hints and significance of the foods of the season....Pulla for Christmas, Mämmi for Easter, Sima for Vappu, and others. Sections on a brief history of the people; travel in Finland, and the many music festivals characterize the Finnish people's love for the arts. Drawings by Jukko Mannio, Finnish artist, capture the spirit of celebration throughout the book. Cover photography by Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret. |
