Is there any better way to get to know a country than through its flavors? There is no other country like Sweden. No other country tastes like Sweden, either. A nordic climate, with a landscape covered in deep forests, broad expanses of plowed fields, and clean water, from lakes to rivers to the sea. All this has countributed to the unique Swedish kitchen. From cold fish dishes,such as herring and marinated salmon, to hearty, hot crayfish soup and steaming poached codd with egg, shrimp and horseradish. From delicate, traditional meat dishes, such as Wallenbergers and Beef a la Lindstrom to the world-famous Swedish meatball. Along with other exotic treats, such as cream-filled buns, gingerbread, saffron rolls and seven kinds of cookies. SERVED FROM THE SWEDISH KITCHEN is a culinary journey through Sweden. A guidebook for the palate with 50 classic Swedish recipes.
