Scandinavian Cooking Paperback – September 29, 2003

I love this book. I bought my first copy at a Scandinavian store in Ballard/Seattle when our kids were young and many of the recipes have become family traditions. The recipe for Swedish Meatballs is better than any recipe on the Internet (most use allspice and nutmeg, but her recipe also uses ginger). Last time I made it, a friend asked my wife wife if we purchased the meatballs from Ikea, and my wife told her that I made these and they were better than Ikea's. Her friend has since bought this book as well.In fact, I'm making Royal Pot Roast of Beef (Slottsstek) as I write this. Another absolutely amazing, flavorful recipe. If you don't like cook books that don't offer pictures, don't let that deter you, pictures would increase the cost. And one reviewer mentioned that the recipes aren't healthy. That person should stay away probably all cuisines except Mediterranean. These are not dishes one would eat everyday. Most are holiday fair for special occasions.Smaklig måltid!

This book looks to have it all and if you love Scandinavian cooking as I do, I highly recommend it - as well as Ms. Oakangas' other books.

I have not tried any of the recipes in this book as of yet. However it does make me excited to see the meal plans that are provided and to get back to the roots of my Scandinavian heritage.

I like the recipes

The best!!

love the recipes in this book!

My mom and I are into family history and we recently discovered we have very strong roots in Norway. I had this fun idea to purchase this book as well as "Authentic Norwegian Cooking" and "The Great Scandanavian Baking Book" and make food with my mom that our ancestors would have made. I know not everyone would like to do this, but it is very sentimental for me and my mom. This book was wonderful! Not only was it a great bonding experience with my mom, but the food was spectacular as well! My dad and husband enjoyed it. I am sure we will be using this book for many years to come.

This is a very simple, easy to follow cookbook full of every day recipes as well as special recipes for the holidays. I love almost everything Scandinavian, including this delightful cookbook!
