Notes about Recipes in this book

• Biff Lindström

  • billie109210 on February 18, 2026

    A little dry, decent flavor

• Smoked salmon and horseradish cream with crunchy cucumber and caraway seed salad

  • lkgrover on February 23, 2026

    Delicious salad with smoked salmon, cucumber & homemade dressing. I flaked the salmon, then mixed it into the salad instead of serving on the side. Used salmon smoked by my local butcher (much better than mass-produced grocery store options).

• Lemon mousse

  • cadfael on April 15, 2022

    Very good. Easy.

• Rhubarb cordial

  • cadfael on April 15, 2022

    Very good. I make every year and freeze some

• Rhubarb trifle

  • cadfael on April 15, 2022

    A favourite

• Brunsviger

    A favourite. The grandkids devoured while still warm.

• Yogurt with shaken red currants and rye bread topping

  • eeeve on July 04, 2015

    Made this recipe as I had both redcurrants and rye bread in, and I liked the idea of 'preserving' the currants for a few weeks. However, the amount of sugar that goes in is ludicrous (I halved it and it was still too much) so it can hardly be called a healthy breakfast. At the same time, the sugar makes the currants taste really nice and sweet! The rye bread should be broken up into tiny little pieces - more like breadcrumbs, not the (small) chunks we had. Probably won't make this again - certainly not for breakfast - but it was an interesting experiment.

• Frittatas with tomatoes, bacon, and chives

  • lkgrover on February 07, 2026

    Good egg breakfast.

• Lamb shanks with apricots and spices and parsley mashed potatoes

  • cadfael on March 02, 2014

    I prepared the Lamb Shanks with Apricots and Spices and Parsley Mashed Potatoes. The recipe is amazingly easy and in no time I had a delicious smelling meal simmering on the stove. The lamb was amazingly tender and the spices and apricots complemented the lamb perfectly. My husband absolutely loved it. Amazon

• Meatballs in curry sauce

  • cadfael on April 15, 2022

    This was delicious!

  • cadfael on February 06, 2026

    This is a very mild flavoured curried Scandinavian meatball recipe which makes lots. Since I am cooking for two, it makes a meal the day I make them, and 3 freezer packs for future use. They are good with plain rice or mashed potatoes. I hadn’t made them in years but they used to be a family favourite when I was cooking for more people. I made a resolution to cook more from my cookbooks this year than trying every new thing that comes along. I was so happy to be reacquainted with this beautiful cookbook that has sat abandoned for so long. I have ear marked lots of old favourites and some new ones to try. I highly recommend this book for people who are interested in Scandinavian cooking.
