5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and Swedish!, December 3, 2001

By A Customer

My Grandmother introduced me to this book years ago by her use of it to make her annual batches of Swedish Pepparkakkor and Swedish Spritz cookies. She would (and still does) make them every December to those who are lucky enough to receive these yummy cookies! She uses this recipe, but instead of rolling out the Pepparkakkor cookies, she spreads them out in flat layers using a cookie press. The cookies are easy to make and lots of fun to decorate for kids and adults.

She also uses this book to make Swedish meatballs that are always a favorite of all who come to her annual holiday party! Everyone who tries them looks forward to her making them again next year!!

I now make the two cookie recipes every year (as they are my particular favorites), and I am also little by little trying out the other recipes. I am finding each one to be consistently great! I think that if you would like a few Swedish recipes that are tried and true terrific ones then this is the recipe book for you!!!!
