Sweden's Regional Recipes [Paperback]

Diana Johnson Kia (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 15, 2004

Take a tour through Sweden's Regional Recipes, a delightful title that describes each of Sweden's diverse provinces and the culinary specialties. The journey starts in Lappland, "the land of the midnight sun," Sweden's northermost and largest province. It winds through the others as well, from the fertile valleys of Norrbotten in the northeast to Dalarna, "the heart of Sweden," to the southernmost province of Skane, where the residents eat a feast of goose on St. Marten's Day. Enjoy arctic trout in Medelpad, blueberry tartlets in Dalarna, apple pancakes in Vastmanland, pea soup in Uppland, breaded potato bites in Dalsland, and Swedish meatballs, rye bread, and cheesecake in Smaland. Try minced guinea fowl with roasted root vegetables in a chapter on foods from Nobel Awards banquets. A chapter on Swedish holidays features everything from pineapple-strawberry torte at Midsummer to cookies and candy for Christmas to crayfish parties.
