The Swedish Cookbook - Niklas Ekstedt

In the only Swedish cookbook you'll ever need, Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt makes it easy to bring the bright, rich flavors of Scandinavian food to your home kitchen.

Swedish Meatballs with Potatoes and Pressed Cucumber * Swedish Waffles Two Ways * Cured Salmon & Gravlax * Potato Pancakes with Lingonberries and Sour Cream * Rhubarb Pie with Vanilla Sauce * Cardamom Buns, and more . . .

The best Swedish cuisine starts with a touch of lagom. A word meaning “balanced” or “just right,” lagom informs the storied culinary traditions of Sweden: the fresh, bright ingredients in its recipes, and the rich, harmonious flavors that come together on its tables. Following the lagom philosophy, Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt has perfected classic and modern Swedish cooking alike, and in The Swedish Cookbook, he shares his best recipes from everyday meals to special feasts. With the perfect Swedish Pancakes and Meatballs, Smörgås, or open-faced tea sandwiches, Gravlax and cured salmons, and Cardamom Buns-and how to prepare your dream Fika, or cozy coffee break-Ekstedt shows the home cook how to master it all.

Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting your culinary journey, it's time to find your lagom in the kitchen and savor the delightful simplicity of Swedish food.
