Product Description
This book is a collection of old and new Swedish recipes used in homes here in America. They have been contributed by members of the American Daughters of Sweden and their friends. Some of them were brought from Sweden many years ago by those who gave the recipes to this book, others have been handed down from a Swedish mother to an American daughter and are now being used by second and third generations. Several recipes have been brought back from Sweden after recent visits there and some have come in letters from relatives and friends. It is to share these treasured recipes with others and to preserve them for the future that this collection was made. ... Read more

quirky, beautiful book
This is a beautiful and peculiar book, with lovely photographs and compelling text. In a cookbook? That's right. There is a narrative tour around Sweden throughout this book, describing the beautiful landscapes, the interesting (often quite odd) people and the 'story' of many Swedish foods and traditions.

The food photographs are remarkable as well, for their vibrant colors and peculiarly shallow 'depth of field' focus. There are arresting landscape photographs also, which convey an eerie mood of Scandinavian-ness. Waterfalls flowing out of low clouds, ice-carved mountains, still lakes with mist rising. Very arboreal.

From the introduction: "Sweden has long and beautiful coastlines, but if you ask Swedes about their country most will describe it as a place of forests."This is the paradox that these authors tour us through in their lovely book.

As for the food, fish and potatoes are dominant, but many, many interesting flavors appear as well.

The text has been translated from Swedish so it can read a bit oddly, though that may have changed in later updates. I hope not because the occasional language oddity only makes the strangeness that much more unique and authentic. ... Read more
