Discover the delights of this distinctive Scandinavian cuisine, in a beautiful new book about an increasingly fashionable - and healthy - way of cooking. This work contains 60 delectable Swedish recipes - including regional dishes such as fried mustard herrings, homemade black pudding with fresh lingon and pancetta, reindeer stroganoff, and waffles with spiced blueberry compote. It features a fascinating overview of the history of food in Sweden and its unique cuisine, an expert guide to all the authentic ingredients, how to source them (and use suitable alternatives), and how to prepare and cook them in the traditional Swedish style. This new book is a magnificent guide to the culinary delights of Sweden, serving up a captivating feast of food and photography. Traditional Swedish cooking is hearty and based around fish (fresh from Sweden's extensive coastline and lakes), meat (from venison to reindeer) and potatoes.
