From Publishers Weekly
This worthwhile, revised edition of The Art of Scandinavian Cooking (originally published more than 20 years ago) offers some basic guidelines (e.g., for smorgasbord and smorrebrodDanish open-faced sandwiches) that won't overwhelm newcomers to the cuisine. Fish, an important Scandinavian staple, is well represented. Preparations tend to be mildly seasoned, as in Norwegian fish pudding, but adventurous cooks should try the unusually flavored Swedish marinated salmon or Danish fried eels with creamed potatoes. Norwegian hot cauliflower with shrimp and Finnish rutabaga pudding are among the creative vegetable dishes, but readers may question the inclusion of recipes utilizing meat from the endangered whale. Desserts range from a light orange souffle to wonderfully rich Swedish cream-meringue torte and Norwegian King Haakon's cake. The Danish pastry recipe may not provide adequate support for those making a first attempt, although bakers familiar with the process will enjoy trying this version and the applications suggested.

Reader Reviews
As I write this review, I'm finishing out a glorious year 2003 and ringing in an already zingy 2004 with a fine glass of home-made Finnish sima (2 cups brown sugar, 2 cups regular sugar, a 12-ounce beer [be happy and make it a Leinenkugel!], one squeezed lemon, and 2-3 quarts of water). This is some tangy stuff! Well, that's just one recipe from this excellent cookbook, which consists of over 200 pages of great Scandinavian eating. This here be honest food, my friends. There's a fantastic soup section, including recipes for everything from a light apple soup and Finnish summer vegetable soup (my two favorites) to a delicious, rib-sticking concoction called Danish hot buttermilk soup. I haven't delved into the dessert section yet, but I will as soon as this tangy little sima wears off. Good luck finding reindeer and whale meat anywhere this side of the Atlantic, but there are some other tasty meat dishes here (mostly for fish, a Scandinavian staple). And hey, if you're feeling wacky or adventuresome, try out Hazelton's totally zany recipe for Swedish Punch. The little old lady's brew makes 2 gallons of it, and calls for no less than 5 1/2 pounds of sugar, with numerous spirits -- that'll keep the kids up! So smorgasbord yourself silly this year and learn how to say "skål", because you'll need it. Five stars.
