Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-29 00:00:00 Carl Austin It would be a wonderful project to bake one's way through this book -- especially if one were to have a bunch of people around to eat the results! Many of these baked goods were familiar to me from being married to a Danish-American and living in Minnesota for 30+ years, where one also meets people with roots in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. The book covers everything from everyday breads to Christmas cookies, Danish pastry, coffeecakes and pancakes. So far I haven't tried the recipes but in the past I've found Ojakangas's recipes to be well-tested and accurate. Each chapter has an introduction with a bit of travelogue or memoir and something about the place of each food in Scandinavian life. Recommended for bakers old and new.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-25 00:00:00 Clay Darrow Beatrice is a well-known cook and baker and I have followed her recipes for years. My current interest is especially baking breads. This volume has some very good recipes for limpa, julekake and other Scandanavian breads. It's a library book, but i will buy it.
