Summary

'A joy to behold' Yotam Ottolenghi

Learn how to cook the Swedish way with this beautiful book of over 100 delicious recipes。

Spring picnics on the archipelago; barbecues at the summer cabin; cosy autumnal suppers; and dark snowy winters filled with candlelight， gingerbread and glögg - the Swedes love to celebrate every season via the food they eat。

Complete with stunning location and food photography， and over 100 beautiful， fuss-free recipes， this cookbook lets you in on what the Swedish call lagom 。 。 。 the art of not too little， not too much， but just the right amount。

Explore the nation's simple and balanced approach to cooking， sample their best-loved ingredients and discover a must-try cuisine that is about far more than just meatballs， fika and cinnamon buns 。 。 。

Inside you'll find recipes for sunny days or cosy evenings， celebrations or nights curled up at home， such as:

· PEAS， POTATOES AND CHICKEN IN A POT。 The one dish delight: summer comfort food that's perfect for midweek。

· MIDSUMMER MERINGUE CROWNS。 The Swedes have been wearing flower crowns since long before festival-goers discovered them。 Now you can make beautiful edible ones for parties or puddings。

· PLUM TOSCA CAKE。 This Swedish favourite， named after Puccini's opera， is filled with tart plums and sweet almonds。

Love Rachel Khoo’s cookbooks！ I picked this up on a whim from the library; the photos are gorgeous， her anecdotes are full of whimsy and joy。 Will have to buy a copy to sit alongside my cookbook collection and try cooking her delightful spin on classic dishes。

This book is beautifully designed and made， and has some really lovely photos and introductions to each chapter。 My main issue with the book， and this could be my unfamiliarity with the author， is that quite a few of the recipes are major riffs on classics rather than introducing you to the classic recipe itself。 This could also be down to my expectations for what I thought this cookbook was and not what it is in reality。 3 stars may seem harsh， but when it comes to food I’m looking for perfecti This book is beautifully designed and made， and has some really lovely photos and introductions to each chapter。 My main issue with the book， and this could be my unfamiliarity with the author， is that quite a few of the recipes are major riffs on classics rather than introducing you to the classic recipe itself。 This could also be down to my expectations for what I thought this cookbook was and not what it is in reality。 3 stars may seem harsh， but when it comes to food I’m looking for perfection。 All that being said， I did find a lot of recipes in the book that I’m very much looking forward to adding to my family’s repertoire of Swedish dishes。 。。。more

Not particularly memorable， but I love new scandi food anyway。

I liked this， I think。 I mostly appreciate how each recipe said outright if it was gluten/dairy/meat free， and what equipment would be needed。 I found it well organized。 I really appreciate the amount of vegetarian mains that were included - I'll have to try the swedish bean balls， and the beet a la lindstrom， and the celeriac hasselback 'ham'， and the nut-dairy-gluten-egg free chocolate cake。 I got a fair amount of nice sounding recipes out of this， I think。 As someone who can't do dairy， there I liked this， I think。 I mostly appreciate how each recipe said outright if it was gluten/dairy/meat free， and what equipment would be needed。 I found it well organized。 I really appreciate the amount of vegetarian mains that were included - I'll have to try the swedish bean balls， and the beet a la lindstrom， and the celeriac hasselback 'ham'， and the nut-dairy-gluten-egg free chocolate cake。 I got a fair amount of nice sounding recipes out of this， I think。 As someone who can't do dairy， there are a frustrating amount of recipes that call for cream - and most of the baking recipes are useless to me because of it - but I can vegan substitute around that in meatballs and such。 。。。more

Typical cookbook。 Interesting and delicious recipes。 Pretty pictures。

A lovely cookbook with unusual recipes among the classics， too。

Skimmed the text and read the recipes。 Nice intro to Swedish cooking。

This book was chosen as Food52 Cookbook group's September "cook through"。 At first glance， I wasn't sure if I wanted to cook from the book but I've never cooked Nordic food so I gave it a go。 The timing was perfect too because the TV version of this book was on air in New Zealand。I am glad that I got over my hesitance。 I had to prepare ahead of time as there were Swedish ingredients which were hard to source but manage to order online。 The recipes were simple and most importantly the outcome del This book was chosen as Food52 Cookbook group's September "cook through"。 At first glance， I wasn't sure if I wanted to cook from the book but I've never cooked Nordic food so I gave it a go。 The timing was perfect too because the TV version of this book was on air in New Zealand。I am glad that I got over my hesitance。 I had to prepare ahead of time as there were Swedish ingredients which were hard to source but manage to order online。 The recipes were simple and most importantly the outcome delicious！ This is the cookbook that I've cooked most recipes from！ All I needed was to follow Rachel's suggestions and buy the right ingredients。 I highly recommend this cookbook if you want to dip your toes into Swedish cooking。 。。。more

A lovely book that really makes you want to visit Sweden and try all these yummy foods！

Fun， with great pictures。 Not quite as nice as her French books， but still a good read

Emma ，

I found the majority of these to be rather inaccessible。

My first jump into the Food52 cookbook club was not what I wanted it to be。 While I flagged a lot of recipes， many of them fell flat。 I think that Swedish cooking is fairly bland; I am certainly a foodie who loves flavor！ Perhaps I wasn't able to find as quality of ingredients to really appreciate Khoo's subtle cooking。 Or perhaps the constant conversion from C/ML/G to F/Cups/Oz was taxing and I got things wrong。 Regardless， only one the slow-roasted salmon recipe is one I'll return to。 Apple an My first jump into the Food52 cookbook club was not what I wanted it to be。 While I flagged a lot of recipes， many of them fell flat。 I think that Swedish cooking is fairly bland; I am certainly a foodie who loves flavor！ Perhaps I wasn't able to find as quality of ingredients to really appreciate Khoo's subtle cooking。 Or perhaps the constant conversion from C/ML/G to F/Cups/Oz was taxing and I got things wrong。 Regardless， only one the slow-roasted salmon recipe is one I'll return to。 Apple and Cheese Spelt buns， Poached Chicken with Quick Pickled Strawberry Salad， Fresh Curds with Salted Caramel Sauce， and Peas/Potatoes/Chicken in a Pot are all not worth repeating。 Perhaps I'll repeat the Beet a la Lindstrom someday。 Here's hoping next month's cookbook（s） are better！ 。。。more

Rachel Khoo is well known for her Little Paris Kitchen， and her Little French Kitchen， but now she takes her little kitchen far away to beautiful Sweden。 This is a lovely cookbook filled with gorgeous photos and delectable recipes。 On my first flip through I saw the Hazelnut and Apple Cakes and knew we HAD to make them！ I was not disappointed！ We are somewhat split， though。 I think they were absolutely amazing still warm from the oven， but my daughter swears that eating them cold from the refrig Rachel Khoo is well known for her Little Paris Kitchen， and her Little French Kitchen， but now she takes her little kitchen far away to beautiful Sweden。 This is a lovely cookbook filled with gorgeous photos and delectable recipes。 On my first flip through I saw the Hazelnut and Apple Cakes and knew we HAD to make them！ I was not disappointed！ We are somewhat split， though。 I think they were absolutely amazing still warm from the oven， but my daughter swears that eating them cold from the refrigerator is the best way。 Either way， they are a delicious morsel that leaves you wanting more。I have been craving beef stew， but the weather was just too hot。 Fall has decided to come （with winter hovering right on its heels） here in South Dakota and we finally got some chilly days--perfect weather for beef stew！ I opted for Rachel's Swedish Beef Stew， and I was not disappointed。 There are ingredients you normally don't think of as being typical for beef stew （my family still doesn't know there were anchovies in it！）， but they somehow come together for a delightful dish。 I love the depth the fresh ground allspice gave it。 They only way I deviated from the recipe is instead of cooking the potatoes and serving them separately， I put them in the stew the way my husband likes it， and we didn't serve the pickled beets or pickled onions， either。 There are still dishes I want to make。 I love Veal Saltimbocca， so I would love to try her Venison 'Saltimbocca'， I just need to get my hands on some venison。 I'm fresh out right now。 The Toasted Pearl Barley Mushroom Risotto looks amazing， and I can't wait to try the Apple and Cheese Spelt Buns。There is plenty to delight in this book。 The food is such as will warm you on those cold days， or celebrate the warm ones。 Pull up a chair and take a quick trip to Sweden through the pages of this book。 You'll enjoy the ride！I received a copy of this book from Trafalgar Square Publishing through IPG Books for my honest review。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Interesting recipes from a cuisine with which I am not overly familiar。 But although I appreciate the metric measurements， it would have been nice to be provided with oven temps in both Fahrenheit and Celsius。 Also many of the directions were not as precise as they should be especially when preparing food from a cuisine of which I and many other are not that knowledgeable。 I made two recipes， one was delicious but not incredible and the other I didn't care for at all。 Interesting recipes from a cuisine with which I am not overly familiar。 But although I appreciate the metric measurements， it would have been nice to be provided with oven temps in both Fahrenheit and Celsius。 Also many of the directions were not as precise as they should be especially when preparing food from a cuisine of which I and many other are not that knowledgeable。 I made two recipes， one was delicious but not incredible and the other I didn't care for at all。 。。。more

Sheer simplicityLove her recipes， they are so easy to follow。 They make you want to go into the kitchen and try something completely out of your comfort zone。

I guess I'm just not into Swedish food because nothing in here really jumped out at me as something I wanted to try。 I did like that it was organized seasonally instead of by appetizers， entrees， etc。 I'm not saying it's a bad cookbook， just not my thing。 I guess I'm just not into Swedish food because nothing in here really jumped out at me as something I wanted to try。 I did like that it was organized seasonally instead of by appetizers， entrees， etc。 I'm not saying it's a bad cookbook， just not my thing。 。。。more

Simple writing that makes you think you're having a cup of coffee with her and listening to her transplanting to Sweden。 Delicious sounding recipes。 Caution: some measurements are in metric。 Simple writing that makes you think you're having a cup of coffee with her and listening to her transplanting to Sweden。 Delicious sounding recipes。 Caution: some measurements are in metric。 。。。more

Semlor -> the reason enough to make me go to Sweden， or even move there permanently！ This review might not be the most objective one， as I'm already a huge fan of Rachel。 It's her personality， down to earth approach to food and cooking， but also her charm and that big smile that makes me like her so much！ :） I love her writing - simple， unpretentious， and "real"。 As an immigrant in Sweden， I feel I can relate to her， on many levels - being myself an immigrant in Ireland。 Also as an immigrant， I Semlor -> the reason enough to make me go to Sweden， or even move there permanently！ This review might not be the most objective one， as I'm already a huge fan of Rachel。 It's her personality， down to earth approach to food and cooking， but also her charm and that big smile that makes me like her so much！ :） I love her writing - simple， unpretentious， and "real"。 As an immigrant in Sweden， I feel I can relate to her， on many levels - being myself an immigrant in Ireland。 Also as an immigrant， I believe she has an advantage of that "fresh look" and approach to Sweden， it's kitchen and culture， which is really fresh and interesting。It's not a boring book "listen this is a traditional Swedish dish blah， blah， blah。。。" but rather an insight into everyday cooking， recipes passed down among family members （she's married to a Swede）， but also a bit of that all traditional， maybe sometimes "touristy" must eats and tries when one finds itself visiting this country。Great recipes， for all occasions and seasons of the year - and that's also how the book is divided， by seasons of the year， which Swedes take very seriously indeed。 But isn't it the most natural way of living AND eating - taking advantage of what's actually in abundance。。？All in all， a great little （almost 500 pages！） cook/story book， and at this point my favourite written by Rachel Khoo （even though I'm a huge Francophile and one might think that My Little French or Paris Kitchen will take that prime spot。。。） 。。。more
