I got this cookbook as a Christmas give for my Swedish wife. She loves the dessert recipies, especially the Cocoa Balls and the Coffee Bread. If you combine this book with "Good Food from Sweden" by Inga Norberg, you'll never lack for recipies to remind you of your Swedish roots.
Splendid Swedish Recipes, in the popular recipe-card file size Stocking Stuffer format, is chock-full of the best recipes and notes on Swedish cuisine. Try the Coffee Bread or the Cocoa Balls to end the perfect meal. The book offers you plenty to choose from to make a Swedish feast for family and friends.
This cookbook is inspired by the Swedish love of wholesome, natural foods. Stuffed Cabbage and Rye Bread will suit almost any table. Compiled by Kerstin Olsson Van Gilder, who came to America from Sweden in 1961, and refers to Swedish foods as "cooking the naturally delicious way." The Swedish diet consists mainly of fish (herring) and potatoes, making the food lighter than traditional American cuisine.
Try the Swedish Kale Soup or the Swedish Meatballs. The cover shows a little girl in a Swedish folk-style outfit. In addition to recipes, Splendid Swedish Recipes contains information on The Smorgasbord (a long table buffet Scandinavian tradition), Foods for Special Holidays and Seasons, Notable Sites and Events as well as historical information on the Swedish-American Experience.
And desserts are the Swedish specialty. This is just a sampling of what is offered.This book is excellent for personal collections and as a gift for anyone interested in Swedish cooking and heritage.
