I didn't realize so many of the pastry recipes I was looking for were scandinavian.
I can't wait to try some of these recipes. I glanced through it and it looks amazing.

Thoughtful collection of classic Scandinavian baked treats!

I bought this in the hope that I could find a classic collection of recipes that I could whip up for my Scandinavian colleagues at work - I can honestly say it was a gem of a find! The recipes are split into easy categories (coffee breads, cakes, cookies, tarts, patries, fruit desserts and traditional favourites), with each recipe sporting a beautiful picture and also a short blurb on one or another Scandinavian fact (holidays, history behind the recipe, etc.). I've also found the measurements to be accurate and the instructions detailed.
For those new to using yeast (like me!), I would still look on the 'net before trying the Cinnamon Rolls or Danish Almond Tea Ring, because it's hard to know exactly how best to use the yeast without some practice (i.e. my dough will not rise unless in the oven on the lowest setting). However, whoever is a pro with yeast will have no problems!
Short tip: I added double the filling to the Cinnamon Rolls - otherwise they are too dry to get the real Cinnabon flavour! ;)
I think this is a perfect collection of nordic baked goods, the presentation is beautiful, most recipes are pretty easy and straight-forward and it's also fun to read through the short history and stories provided. Moreover, this is the only Scandinavian baking book where I've seen every recipe with a picture, so for visual cooks this is spot on. Would also highly recommend as a gift to anyone who enjoys baking.

Two Norwegian Thumbs Up!
Mar 1 2012
By Fairy Godmother's Bookshelf
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I originally checked this book out of my local library, and immediately knew I'd have to purchase a copy of my own. The book itself is beautiful; the recipes are accompanied by mouth-watering photos which inspired my sons (ages 7 and 3) to put a "please make this, Mommy!" bookmark on almost every page. The instructions are clear and every recipe I used came out great on the first try. The ingredients are easy to find, too, even in a relatively rural area like mine. Being of Norwegian descent myself, I'm rarely impressed with English-language cookbooks of Scandinavian recipes, but this one is a true gem. I'm delighted and can't recommend it highly enough!

Fabulous photos of Scandinavia plus lushious baking with excellent instructions. What a delight and I highly recommend it for first generation Swedish Americans like me who want to have those special treats our mothers and grandmothers baked.
