Swedish Recipes, Food & Cooking

Swedish Recipes & Food

Sweden is a great region, and Swedish food should be a great ethnic food. At
its best, Swedish food is excellent, largely meat-, fish- and potato-based, but
varied and generally tasty and filling.

In the last few decades immigrants from all over the world have enriched
Swedish food culture with a host of exciting dishes.

Typically classical Swedish cooking includes lots of seafood, herring in
particular; open faced sandwiches; and Swedish meatballs, a smörgåsbord
favorite: Swedish meatballs (köttbullar).

Swedish desserts may include lignonberries - a high bush cranberry, and used
a lot in Swedish cooking.

If you equate Swedish food with smorgasbord, meatballs and dill, think again.

A quarter of my family are Swedish, originating from Gothenburg. These
genuine Swedish recipes have been collected by our family over the years and
are now being shared with you as a celebration of Swedish traditions and food.

Thanks for visiting Swedish recipes & food.

Swedish Table

An engaging and modern guide to Swedish cooking. �Although I never physically fit in . . . being the sole tall, awkward African American among a sea of beautiful blonde, blue-eyed Swedes, it was my home. When I tasted the first potato of the summer, just dug out of the ground, or when I picked the first ripe cloudberry and popped it in my mouth, or when I took in the scent of seawater and we grilled salmon just off the boat, it didn�t matter what I looked like�I was Swedish. I was home, and I did belong.� Drawing on her fondest childhood memories, Helene Henderson offers welcome insight into the treasures of Swedish cooking. From the potato, a Swedish staple, to dessert, the star of Swedish cuisine, The Swedish Table contains more than 125 recipes, including Yellow Pea Soup with Bacon (�rtsoppa), Lentil Salad with Radishes (Linssallad), Aquavit and Dill Marinated Salmon (Gravlax), Swedish Meatballs with Gravy (K�ttbullar), and the country�s traditional pastry, Bulla. Encompassing both traditional Swedish dishes and modern, updated recipes, Henderson combines the ingredients and scents from the past with the produce and flavor of today. The Swedish Table includes an extensive guide to Swedish traditions and celebrations, the foods that accompany them, and a color gallery of photographs. With this complete collection of elegant yet easy-to-follow recipes, Henderson takes us on an enticing tour through the magic of the forest, the lakes, and the farms of the Swedish countryside. �As someone who loves to eat and has enjoyed Helene�s cooking, I certainly recommend this very interesting cookbook.� �Barbra Streisand Helene Henderson is an African American, Swedish-born chef who was raised in Lule�, Sweden, where she learned how to cook.
