I love this cookbook! It was a holiday gift to me, and so thoughtful and perfect!

I've only started browsing through it as it deserves, but have already- in less than a week!- made 2 recipes from it. Both the julekaka (a Norwegian Christmas bread that's a holiday tradition around here), and the red cabbage with apples which we just has with our Yuletide roast goose, turned out perfectly. And since our local Scandinavian store closed, I am eager to try making rye crispbread, lefse, and other things!

And, someday, I will even make lutefisk from scratch...

Anyway- if you have a Scandinavian heritage, or it's a part of your family- this is a thorough look at what the historic foods of the Nordic countries are, and most are quite accessible and look delicious.

I am completely thrilled by it, and I haven't even started to browse the pastry recipes!

Very recommended for people who have an interest, including in historic foods.… (mais)
