Publisher's Synopsis
Classic Scandinavian cuisine is based on natural produce, with fish caught from the seas and rivers; wild game from the rugged forests; and meat and dairy products from the animals that graze on the fertile pastures. The age-old traditions of pickling and preserving food ensure survival during the long winters. The first section explores the evocative landscapes and climates that unite Swedish, Norwegian and Danish food cultures, and their differences. With over 150 regional dishes, and more than 800 photographs, this book is an irresistible volume for anyone who wants to explore the secrets of authentic Scandinavian cooking.
