In Scandinavia the whole period of Christmas, from the first Sunday in Advent to New Year's Day, is marked by festivals and celebrated in traditional but beautifully contemporary style. Hygge, the Danish word for cosiness, is about being inside with candles, great comfort food and lots of cakes and sweets. The first week of December is baking week - enough has to be made to last the whole Christmas period. Jars of decorated cookies, gingerbread houses and clogs filled with little presents rub shoulders with simple wreaths, trees and tables decorated with white candles and fresh greenery. Brunches, cocktail and tea parties, lunches and dinners are celebrated with a mixture of traditional goodies and delicious modern recipes. Duck and pork rule on Christmas Eve, fish, ham and seasonal vegetables on Christmas Day. Sweets, biscuits, puddings and other treats abound - all washed down with gluwein and fruity cocktails. In this glorious book, illustrated with evocative photographs, Trine Hahnemann provides a cornucopia of 70 Christmas recipes showing us how we, too, can decorate our homes and make delicious dishes to celebrate Christmas the Scandinavian way.… (altro)

This is an interesting book, but best I can guess it is a Swedish cookbook, not Scandinavian. But I'm not Swedish, so maybe it isn't even Swedish.

My mother was dyed in the wool Norwegian, and at Christmas we would have all of her sisters, brothers and other relatives (large family) over. We seemed to be the gathering spot, as had her mother.

The week before Christmas we would all be drafted into the Kitchen to help with the baking, not the simple stuff, like in this book, but delicate treats, endless different ones.

Few if anything in this book is familiar to me. That was a big disappointment, it wasn't at all reminiscing, nor Norwegian. ( )

I enjoyed reading the "backstory" of certain Christmas traditions (mostly food-related) in Scandinavia.

The recipes are definitely not what I'm used to as an American (plenty of duck, lamb, fish, and spiced breads/cakes) and a few recipes explained that the ingredients were rare and included websites to order them; therefore, this isn't the most practical book for myself.

I do wish there had been even more stories and traditions explained. (And I wish the title had included a descriptor indicating it was a cookbook, not a general book on Christmas in Scandinavia, which is what I had assumed - but I didn't read the back cover, so that was my mistake.) ( )

Since marrying into a Norwegian family, I have looked for traditional foods to prepare around the holiday season. "Scandinavian Christmas" does a great job of giving basic recipes for the Christmas season while also providing ideas for Advent, Christmas parties, and the popular Smorgasbord. This cookbook is well thought out and presented in easy-to-follow sections. The pictures are beautiful and give you a sense of being in Scandinavia for a holiday feast. Definitely check this cookbook out for new recipes from another culture or to rediscover family favorites once again.

I am ethically Swedish (by both heritage and choice), and this is a very inspiring book!

However, I think the recipes were not adequately tested. For example, the recipe for pate that calls for 8 oz of pork liver- and 8 POUNDS of pork fat!- is clearly not right. That will not give you a pate. And that huge fail makes me look at the other recipes with suspicion. Especially when a bread recipe calls for "whole wheat rye" flour, when there is not such a thing; a mix of whole wheat and rye? 100% whole-grain rye? Which????

Nonetheless, it does have most of the recipes that seem that they will work. I would recommend caution and knowledge, especially if you re experimenting with something your are not familiar with making.

It is a very pretty and inspirational cookbook, with a good combination of old-style and modern Scandinavian dishes. The photography is excellent.

I look forward to trying some of the more sensible recipes, including the bread (for which I will use whole rye flour). ( )

This is a beautifully photographed book, with photos that put one right into the spirit for winter celebrations. I tried the brussel sprouts and Clementines recipe for Thanksgiving, with mixed results. I liked the recipe, but then my palate is open to experimentation. I believe that most of the recipes are Danish, and have been modernized by the author so that the average U.S. cook is able to find most of the ingredients without having to order from the Internet. The beautiful winter scenes almost made me want to live in a cold climate...almost.... ( )
