New Scandinavian Cooking: A Compilation of Fresh Nordic Recipes

From the fresh catches of the sea to sweet pastries, the people of Scandinavia have developed some astonishingly mouth-watering dishes. The cuisine today may be called New Scandinavian, but the principals of this diet are rooted in history. The Vikings are to thank for Scandinavian cuisine, which features mussels and oysters. The Vikings didn't have supermarkets. What they couldn't glean from the sea or lakes, they gathered from the earth, so we also see plenty of vegetables and fruits in their recipes. You'll enjoy cucumbers, potatoes, beets, and apples, just to name a few.

When you recreate Nordic dishes at home, you'll be in awe of the vast array of ingredients. Your family and guests will enjoy learning about this stunning land from their equally magnificent food.
