Fire and Ice: Classic Nordic Cooking

I have one book for myself, but gave a copy as a Xmas present to my in-laws. This book is more than a recepy book, it's also a great source of cultural information on the different Nordic countries. A very sweet touch is the fact that all the dishes' names are also written in the original language of the country the recepy is from.

I spent some time delving into a multitude of Swedish and generally Scandinavian cookbooks I preparation of cooking a special smorgasbord feast to honor my in-laws’ 50th wedding anniversary. By far, this cookbook was the most well presented, most accessible, and most comprehensive cookbook for both special occasion and midweek meals. I spent time looking and cooking from both Aquavit and The Swedish Table too for the event, but Fire + Ice was the one cookbook I ended up purchasing and continuing to enjoy. Bright flavors for both summer and winter. It is a wonderful addition to my cookbook collection.

Simple, and healthy....what more could you want.

This is great and very interesting cooking book, the culture of the cooking comes across very well and the ingredients are easily obtained.
