The Scandinavian Year

A stunning collection of over 85 pan-Scandinavian recipes, set across the year from January till December with beautiful lifestyle images and cultural essays relating to food traditions and celebrations. This accessible and engaging exploration of Scandinavian food contains over 90 recipes to try at home, developed by Bronte Aurell, owner of the popular ScandiKitchen Cafe in London’s bustling West End. There’s so much more to Nordic food than pickled herring and meatballs. Stretching from the midnight sun of northern Norway to the flat, fertile fields of Denmark, Scandinavian food culture is a lot more varied than you might think. Dishes and ingredients link all the regions together, bringing a uniquely Nordic food experience to life that was created by thousands of years of heritage and shared culture. The beautifully photographed book takes the reader on a journey from January to December, sharing seasonal recipes plus exploring cultural events and traditions and offering entertaining (and educational!) insights into the people, places, weather and language. Scandinavian food is simple. Natives call it ‘husmanskost’ (farmer’s fare). It’s natural and honest. When you work with the very best produce, there’s no need to overcomplicate it. Its appeal lies in the fact that it is healthy, wholesome, flavorsome, simple to make and beautiful to look at. Discover the best recipes Scandinavia has to offer and learn more about how the uniquely Nordic culture influences everyday life throughout the year.
