Publishers Text

A unique new work on Norwegian foods, holiday customs, recipes, and the "Norwegian-American Experience." The largest number of traditional Norwegian holiday recipes--cakes, cookies, breads-ever put together in one book, and interwoven with fascinating bits of Norwegian social history, including explanations of Norwegian Holiday traditions and customs, many of them kept alive to this day by millions of Norwegian-American families. Authentic manuscript recipes for over 125 holiday cookies, cakes, breads, toppings, and puddings are interwoven with fascinating bits of Norwegian and Newport, Rhode Island social history. Poignant recollections and photographs chronicle life in Newport-all was not "Bellevue Avenue high life." Lavishly illustrated, it offers over 300 photographs showcased by its 8 1/2 x 11 inch format illustrating life from Norway-to-Newport, R.I.--then and now--from period portraits and views of the late 19th and early 20th century, including antique post cards, to the present day. Unpublished photographs selected from private collections (including an autographed picture of Roald Amundsen, who discovered the South Pole), antique post cards, and contemporary Norwegian scenes.
