Book Review: Exceptional Baking Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This cookbook was quite obviously a labor of love for Ojakangas. A lot of research and thought was put into this book which contains traditional Scandinavia recipies, some fairly simple and some more complex. The only thing that could be an improvement would be a section of color photos showing the final products -- but there is no way I would take away a star just for that reason (especially because the book does contain many drawings).Book Review: Amazingly authentic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am part Swedish and Norwegian and this book is absolutely an essential part of my holiday baking. She serves up the most authentic and traditional recipes available for Scandinavian baking. Her other books are great, too. My grandmother was impressed by my browned butter cookies and from another book, lefse. Highly recommended for all Scandinavians, or those who just love the food and culture!Book Review: Excellent book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book a couple of years ago and it had all the favorites I had tried on my trips to Denmark and Sweden. I was looking for a book that had a recipe for kleiner, my favorite Danish treat during the holidays. I also wanted a book that I could make traditional Scandinavian recipes for my Danish fiance. Definitely worth adding to your collection!
