Book Reviews of Norwegian Recipes: Old-Time Favorites
Book Review: Norwegian cooking from an Italian cook
Summary: 4 Stars
A few years back after a visit to Scandinavia I realized that the whole world didn't revolve around the Italian, Chinese and French kitchens, I found that the Scandinavian kitchen held wonderful secrets if only one evaluated the recipes in their proper context and not in comparison to the more colorful or spicey prospectives of other cultures. The food of Norway, for example, reflects the honosty and history of her people of which NORWEGIAN RECIPES: OLD TIME FAVORITES alludes to.---My interest in NORWEGIAN cooking came around rather recently when I became aquainted with Norwegians in my neighborhood and in time became a guest at their cultural events and found the myth of that culture not being food centerd being just that, A MYTH; my Norwegian friends were just as food centered and giving as other "ethnics," sometimes more-so.
I really enjoy the above book in that though the recipes are from Norwegian-American notes they prove as true as the recipes collected in their friendly fair mother country. I've cooked in Italy, had an Italian catering service, been a culinary writer for an Italian-American journal (L'Italo-Americano), had an Italian restaurant, and have taught French cooking at the college level, I do know what is good and as of lately I've been "pushing" the Norwegian kitchen well knowing that the public here in the States has a surprize in store for them, "NORWEGIAN RECIPES" I find is a good introduction to Norway's culinary gifts. I have bought four copies of the book for holiday gifts.
