The Swedish Cookbook
Shipping calculated at checkout
Niklas Ekstedt made his name on fire-driven restaurant cooking, but this book turns to something more foundational: the everyday dishes, festive traditions, and baking recipes that define Swedish home cooking. The Michelin-starred chef organizes the collection around seasonal ingredients and balanced flavors, guided throughout by lagom, the Swedish sense of finding what's "just right."
Classics such as gravlax, Swedish meatballs, potato pancakes, cured fish, waffles, and rhubarb desserts appear alongside contemporary dishes that reinterpret familiar ingredients without straying far from tradition. A dedicated chapter on fika, Sweden’s daily ritual of coffee and baked goods, includes cardamom buns, cinnamon rolls, cookies, and other staples of the country’s baking repertoire.
Designed for home cooks, the book balances approachable instruction with cultural context, offering an inviting overview of Swedish food that extends from everyday family meals to seasonal celebrations.
Hardcover. Color photographs throughout.
