Description

By presenting traditional recipes in Swedish on one side and the English translations on the other, The Swedish-American Cookbook takes authenticity to the next level. This book covers everything from breads to candies, meats to malts. It also contains example menus, helpful tips for preparation, and instructions for preserving various fruits and vegetables. Some recipes include Swedish caviar, cherry soup, almond cookies, baked chicken with parsnips, melon ice cream, meatballs, rusks, and dozens more.
This cookbook is one of a kind. Initially published in 1895, The Swedish-American Cookbook is now updated with beautiful full-color photographs and an attractive, easy-to-follow layout. Also included is an extended explanation on the weights, measurements, and fruit used in the recipes in order to make the process helpful for cooks unfamiliar with Swedish recipes. Lindhals instructions cannot be clearer in this easy-to-read, faithful resource for authentic Swedish food.

Author Bio

Sophia Lindhal immigrated to America in the late 1800s. Hoping to preserve her heritage, she recorded many of the recipes she remembered from her childhood. As she learned English, she translated them, and eventually compiled them in this cookbook.
