Swedish Food and Cooking

So, being that I'm of Swedish roots, I decided to research my roots. Of course I start with cookbooks (eventually I plan on travelling out there so I have to know what kind of food to expect). My friends and I also host monthly theme dinners so naturally I thought Swedish dinner. I definitely like the pictures so I have an idea of what things are supposed to look like. Yes, good luck finding some of the ingredients. I do a little research and substitute sometimes. My disclaimer is I'm vegetarian, so I don't actually get to try a lot of these in their more authentic form. I cook for meat eaters though. :) Eyeing up the wild game section and I have friends who hunt so I'll be trying the deer recipes next fall...substituting deer spp of course. Have to sat, digging the dessert and baking sections. Yummy! I purchased this with several other Swedish cookbooks and I'm quite happy. Though now I need to find a Swedish vegetarian cookbook.

This is one of the best on Swedish cuisine. Recipes are easy to understand, as well as, the light and interesting Swedish history lesson that goes along with it.Also a winner: Swedish Cakes and Cookies : fun, fun and fun!Hej da!

This is a terrific cookbook for anyone interested in Swedish cuisine. The recipes are clear and easy to follow, and they include wonderful tips and photos. The book also has a very nice summary of Swedish history and culture, and descriptions of the origin of the recipes and how they relate to Swedish life. Great fun!

I am sure that it is good for people who have access to unusual ingredients,but where I live they are not available and when I checked on line,they were very costly.

Great!

This book provides a clear, concise introduction to Swedish cuisine for anyone not familiar with it, or for anyone, like me, who has spent some time in Sweden and wishes to re-create some of the fantastic dishes they may have tried. The recipes are all easy to follow, with ingredients that are easily obtainable (and substitute ingredients are also suggested where they are not). The recipes for such Swedish classics as gravadlax, artsoppa (pea and ham soup) and biff a la linstrom (burgers with capons and beetroot) are excellent. The only downside is that some of the recipes call for wild game (e.g. hare and reindeer) or other ingredients (e.g. cloudberries) which are often hard to obtain outside of Scandinavia, but to omit them would be to leave out a vital part of understanding Swedish cuisine and even these recipes can be adapted to local ingredients. There are plenty of colour images to guide you in presentation of dishes and a useful history of Swedish cuisine at the start of the book. Whether you have hours to create on of the elaborate meat dishes or only a short time to prepare one of the tasty appetizers, there is something here for everyone.

Tolles Koch- und Backbuch mit schwedischer Küche. Ich hatte es mir in Schweden schon angeschaut aber wollte es nicht mit mir tragen. Also habe ich es hier bestellt. Es sind tolle Rezepte und schöne Fotos. Leider fehlen Zimtschnecken, dann gäbe es 5 STerne.
