2016 James Beard Award nominee, 2016 International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) nominee for Best International Cookbook, and 2016 Art of Eating Prize longlist finalist

Bringing the best of Scandinavian home-cooking into your kitchen, Fire and Ice: Classic Nordic Cooking offers over 100 delicious recipes that showcase this region’s most beloved sweet and savory dishes.
 
Scandinavia is a region of extremes—where effortlessly chic design meets rugged wilderness, and perpetual winter nights are followed by endless days of summer—and Fire and Ice proves that Scandinavian cuisine is no exception. Founding editor of Gastronomica and the West’s leading culinary authority on the cuisines of the European North, Darra Goldstein explores the rich cultural history and culinary traditions of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. From the bold aroma of smoked arctic char to the delicate flavor of saffron buns, and from the earthy taste of chanterelle soup to the fragrant aroma of raspberry-rose petal jam, this beautifully curated cookbook features over 100 inspiring and achievable recipes that introduce home cooks to the glorious and diverse flavors of Nordic cooking.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Darra Goldstein is the best kind of food scholar. She’s a gourmet and a gourmand, driven by equal parts hedonism and curiosity. Both are here on full display in this Nordic cookbook and culinary genealogy, providing a delicious context for the region’s modern food revolution.”
—Dan Barber, co-owner and executive chef of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and author of The Third Plate

“Darra Goldstein’s recipes defy the stereotypes of Scandinavian cuisine. This cookbook isn’t about rotten shark or Swedish meatballs; these dishes beautifully capture a people who cannot help but be completely in touch with the elements, the land, and the sea.”
—Nathan Myhrvold, coauthor of Modernist Cuisine and Modernist Cuisine at Home, and author of The Photography of Modernist Cuisine

“This book—full of stunning imagery and all the Nordic staples of home cooking—is a must-have for anyone interested in this amazing region.”
—René Redzepi, chef, co-owner of Noma, and author of Noma: Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine

“I dare you to read this book without wishing you were born Scandinavian. The food looks so delicious and the pictures are so gorgeous that you can’t help feeling you were born in the wrong place. This tantalizing introduction to Nordic foods is like no cookbook on the market. Open it at your peril. It will make you want to travel. And it will make you want to cook.”
—Ruth Reichl, author of Delicious, and former editor in chief of Gourmet magazine
 
"We love the new book Fire + Ice: Classic Nordic Cooking for two reasons: 1) it allows people the chance to enjoy delicious Swedish food without trekking to Ikea, and 2) along with recipes, Fire + Ice shares Scandinavian dining traditions, giving readers a more in-depth look into Nordic culture."
—Sydney Mondry, InStyle

"Exploring the rich culinary history of Scandinavian cuisine through classic home-style recipes—and through photographs of the recipes and the natural beauty of Scandinavia—Darra Goldstein’s Fire + Ice cookbook is so absorbing that you’ll be tempted to book a flight to Denmark (or Iceland, or Sweden) after first flipping through it."
—Ali Slagle, Food52

    I absolutely love this cook book. Interesting twists on classic Scandinavian recipes, robust and diverse flavors, and the most beautiful photography of any cook book I own. A couple of truly classic recipes are missing, which is a small bummer (no Christmas cookie or cinnamon bun recipes, which are large parts of that regions baking scene), but what is there is delicate, delicious, and for the most part, simple to prepare. A must have for any curious cook or Nordic cuisine enthusiast.

    4.5 stars for this one. Surpassed my expectations! Clear, engaging recipes, with a nice variety. Extra points for a recipe that shows how to substitute shrimp for crayfish! Most of the ingredients are available in the US. The narrative text and photos are lovely, but I'm not sure they add much to my cooking experience. Nicely-bound book. A dust jacket would have been welcome.

    A great scandinavian cook book, ive already troed 2 recipes. Easy to follow! Each recipe has a brief description about the author/cooks encounter with it, as well as the name of the recipe in its origin language (as well as english). HOWEVER i would have liked the recipe's country origin to be more evident. So i drew in the flags at the top corners of each page, that does not come with the book.

    This is what I get for not fully researching and "assuming" before I purchased it. I was really looking forward to seeing some recipes from Iceland. It is the land of fire and ice....but in this instance I guess it has a different meaning. I wonder why it was excluded....

    I have one book for myself, but gave a copy as a Xmas present to my in-laws. This book is more than a recepy book, it's also a great source of cultural information on the different Nordic countries. A very sweet touch is the fact that all the dishes' names are also written in the original language of the country the recepy is from.
