Most of the recipes in this book are equally as good for luncheon dishes as for the smörgasborg. The smörgasborg is but a table of appetizers which consists of 15 to 50 varieties of food, mostly cold dishes. The recipes are written clearly and are easy to follow for the novice as well as the experienced cook. The accompanying photographs of platters give the cook an idea of how to present the dishes. Some of the food sections include: fish, beef dishes, omelettes, chicken, aspic dishes and salads, canapes, and cocktails. This is a wonderful gift to give to your favorite cook.

Offering a unique peephole into the social and cultural history of Europe, the author skillfully pilots us through the history of bread in Europe, via the Swiss Graubünden confectioners who settled in Venice in the early 17th century. From Venice, they spread all over Europe. The pastry culture flourished in Paris, Vienna, and St. Petersburg and famous men and women began to have pastries named after them: Napolean, Sarah Bernhardt, and King Gustaf II Adolf of Sweden. Whereas bread symbolizes hard work, the pastry has become a symbol for luxurious detail, delicately designed, but as volatile as a kiss on the hand or an expensive perfume. A fascinating odyssey in cultural history, this beautifully illustrated book pays homage along the way to a creative craft of a venerable age.

The story of an American woman’s 25-year love affair with the land, people, and cuisine of this Nordic nation. Sharing her love of food and cooking, Judith Pierce Rosenberg leads readers to markets in search of wild strawberries and smoked reindeer and to cafes for a cup of strong Swedish coffee and a kanelbulle (cinnamon bun) or mazariner (almond tart). Among her culinary adventures are dinner at wildnerness lodge, a medieval banquet, and a Christmas smorgasbord with all the trimmings. Throughout this culinary memoir, Rosenberg interweaves the historical and cultural context of Swedish cooking, explaining the history of waffles and the traditions behind Saint Lucia Day. This book includes 80 recipes that highlight traditional Swedish flavors and ingredients, such as red currants, cloudberries, and cardamom.
