Reader Reviews
This review is from: Time-Honored Norwegian Recipes Adapted to the American Kitchen (Paperback) This 128 page book printed in English, packs a variety of traditional Norwegian recipes into it with english measurements for easy cooking, and also tells you the norwegian name of the recipe. From cookies to main dishes, breads and meat, you can be certain something in here will entice you to cook up a full traditional Norwegian meal and leave no guest hungry. Not only does this book contain a fabulous selection of recipes, it also is steeped rich with Norwegian photographs, some in color, some in black and white. The beauty of the fjords, stave churches, and the old farmhouses will leave you in awe. many current photographs in full color may have you booking a flight to Norway sooner than you had anticipated! While your dinner is cooking, this book makes interesting reading, take care that your dinner is not burning! Many old norwegian kitchen utensils and bowls are pictured. Some are antique, some are new. Many of the items are from the Vesterheim Museum collection. A discussion of a traditional norwegian wedding is presented along with a beautiful picture of "The Bridal Procession in Sogn," painted by Hans Dahl c. 1890's. A bridal crown is also pictured in color. Color photographs of some bunads are featured. Illuminating stories of how bread and butter were made is re-told in this book, making for an amusing look back at one of the routine labor-intensive jobs that occupied a woman's place in the home. Much more is to be found in this book, I won't give it all away, but they are certainly giving this book away for the price! You will not be disappointed when you purchase this book. Purchase a spare to give away as a gift also!
