Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Slow-roasted duck

    • lkgrover on December 11, 2017

      The stuffing is flavorful; I appreciate the blend of starchy celeriac, sweet apricot and allspice. I cooked the stuffing separately in a casserole dish and roasted the duck in the oven; served together. Substituted 1/2 tsp ground allspice for allspice berries.

  • Brussels sprouts with clementines

    • lkgrover on October 16, 2020

      I used 1 tablespoon butter (not 1 teaspoon, which I think was an error). With that adjustment, this is a terrific light vegetarian side dish. Easy, quick preparation.

  • Apple aebleskiver

    • mjes on October 05, 2021

      This is a yeasted version of aebleskivers; they are traditional with apple in the center. These are so good that family members request them regularly - right up there with Dutch babies.

Publishers Text

In Scandinavia the whole period of Christmas, from the first Sunday in Advent to New Year's Day, is marked by festivals and celebrated in traditional but beautifully contemporary style. Hygge, the Danish word for cosiness, is about being inside with candles, great comfort food and lots of cakes and sweets. The first week of December is baking week - enough has to be made to last the whole Christmas period. Jars of decorated cookies, gingerbread houses and clogs filled with little presents rub shoulders with simple wreaths, trees and tables decorated with white candles and fresh greenery. Brunches, cocktail and tea parties, lunches and dinners are celebrated with a mixture of traditional goodies and delicious modern recipes. Duck and pork rule on Christmas Eve, fish, ham and seasonal vegetables on Christmas Day. Sweets, biscuits, puddings and other treats abound - all washed down with gluwein and fruity cocktails. In this glorious book, illustrated with evocative photographs, Trine Hahnemann provides a cornucopia of 70 Christmas recipes showing us how we, too, can decorate our homes and make delicious dishes to celebrate Christmas the Scandinavian way.
