Foods of Scandinavia — Barbara Sheen (2010)

Book Description

One of the most enjoyable ways to learn about other cultures is through their food. This book takes us to the five nations of Scandinavia: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. There the daily fare includes gravalax (cured salmon), smorrebrod (thick open-faced sandwiches), pea soup, pancakes, and appelkaka (apple cake). Traditional Christmas foods are discussed, as well as the tradition of the fika (or “going out for coffee”) and the well-known, huge buffets called smorgasbords. Simple, delicious recipes are provided for oat porridge with strawberry preserves, a roast beef smorrebrod, pea soup, and strawberry cream cake.
