4.0 out of 5 stars Great and handy for any suomi lover, April 20, 2000

By	M. G. Casteleijn (Oulu Finland, native of San Francisco..) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not finnish but have studied and lived in finland over the course of a few years, and know it is very difficult to find any really informative real finnish recipes. This is simple and fun, I got it as a gift and love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Gift!, November 19, 2000

By A Customer

Fine Finnish Foods, in the popular recipe-card file size Stocking Stuffer format, is chock-full of recipes and notes about the best of Finnish food and culture. The recipes were collected by Gerry Kangas, a Finnish American who actively participates in the promotion of Finnish culture. The cover shows a birch leaf motif and calligraphy by Esther Feske.

In addition to wonderful recipes, Fine Finnish Foods also contains information on Finnish heritage and culture. There are pages devoted to Finnish Art, the Finnish-American Experience, and Finnish Table Prayer. Also featured is a menu from An Evening in Finland dinner at the International Club of Washington D.C. The buffet consisted of Herring á la Finlandia, Smoked Fish Salad á la Pirjo, Grandma's Green Salad, and Cranberry Parfait! In addition, there are many other recipes featured for you to prepare your own Finnish meal. Try the Tuna Chowder or the Meat and Cabbage Casserole for a delicious meal. The Finnish Oven Pancakes are sure to please at any breakfast table. The Rutabaga Casserole is a Finnish specialty that you won't want to miss!

Fine Finnish Foods is excellent for personal collections and as a gift for those interested in Finnish cooking and culture.
