Book Description

Publication Date: 12 May 2011
We've long looked south for our food inspiration - but what about our neighbours to the north? We share a climate, a history (those Vikings got everywhere) and a love of cool, from sleek Nordic design to clear frosty November mornings. We also share our love of the outdoors - bracing autumn days, bright spring mornings, lazy summers by the water and long winter walks - and the pleasure of sharing good food with friends around the kitchen table.

Discover the secrets of Scandinavian cooking - from delicious healthy breakfasts and leisurely brunches to tasty suppers and plenty of stress-free crowd-pleaser puddings. Learn the knack of putting together the perfect smorrebrod for a speedy Scandi lunch, and discover some very more-ish cakes and biscuits to accompany your afternoon cuppa.

From cinnamon chestnut bread, cardamom cream buns and home-made gravadlax to soups, salads, smoothies and much more, Signe Johansen, a young cook steeped in the traditions of Scandinavia and trained by the best British chefs, shows us that it's not all herrings and meatballs... although you will find them in here too. Fresh, light, surprisingly indulgent, this is food to lift your spirits - it's quite simply Scandilicious!

Review

'A beautifully presented book with a clean spacious layout'

(The Independent on Sunday, 50 Best Cookbooks)

'If you thought Scandinavian food was all about herring, think again. It is, as they say in the fashion world, so hot right now; as is Johansen, a food anthropologist with a winning style and a great way with a recipe'

(Tim Hayward, Financial Times Books of the Year 2011-11-26)

'I fell for the dinner course: four racy soups, including a zingy beetroot and ginger, and a number of piquant fish recipes'

(Zoe Williams, Guardian Books of the Year 2011-11-26)

'Practical and inspiring . . . Johansen's recipes are homely and doable'

(Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year 2011 2011-11-26)

'Each recipe is accompanied by gorgeous photography and lends itself perfectly to a celebration of the pleasure of sharing good food with friends'

(Flavour Magazine 2011-05-16)

'Like the genius behind Noma, who fills his menu with northern European specialities, such as local vegetables, foraged herbs and fresh fish, Johansen also wants to shift the gastronomic compass away from the Mediterranean... From Finnish blueberry tart and Bergen fish chowder (after her father's home town) to Norwegian lemon, currant and almond cake, the recipes brim with fresh, accessible flavours'

(The Shropshire Star 2011-05-11)

5.0 out of 5 stars Setting a culinary trend 16 Dec 2011
By SL Trivuncic
Format:Hardcover
Spearheading this year's trend for Nordic and Scandinavian cuisine, Signe Johansen's Scandilicious has been one of my favourite books of the year, so much so I've renewed my library copy SIX times now and will inevitably buy it when they forcibly remove it from me.

The styling is effortlessly, well, stylish with graphic printed linens and ceramics. My top recipes are Jarlsberg and fennel muffins, Daim cake and the blackberry, almond and cardamom cake. Plenty of dinner and snack dishes in here too, there is a fair amount of baking but not limited to that - roll on Scandilicious Baking coming out July 2012, I hope it's as delightful as her first book.

Foodies have been praising Nordic/Scandi cuisine for a couple of years now but possibly 2012 will see this type of cuisine go mainstream at a more upmarket level than mere Ikea cafe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear instructions, beautiful results 10 May 2011
By Ms A Phelan
Format:Hardcover
What struck me first about this book was how lovely it was to flick through. Clean layout, decorative but not fussy and striking photographs. Very scandinavian, of course. I've followed Signe's blog for some time and admired her baking skills and her knowledgeable approach to food and cooking. So I was very interested in seeing what her first cookbook would be like and I have not been disappointed. The recipes are all clearly written and very easy to follow. I love cooking and am very happy with savoury cooking. However, I'm not an experienced or confident baker. I love good bread but have been always nervous about using fresh yeast, the kneading process and about the amount of skill I would need to produce a good result. Well, on my first attempt at Spelt & Fennel Seed Bread I was delighted with the whole process. The instructions were easy to understand, the kneading was short and easy and I ended up with some absolutely delicious bread. Excited, I made another recipe from the book, Salmon Tartare, to go with it and ended up with a delicious nordic meal before I knew it. Seriously love this book. Too often cookbooks assume more knowledge than the reader has or are too basic but this book is, like its food, simply refreshing, unfussy and... works! My next attempt will be Signe's cinnamon rolls. Can't wait to bake and I thought I'd never say that!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful 16 July 2012
By bighomebird
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a beautifully designed book, with glorious photos and interesting recipes. I particularly like this book for it's use of spelt flour for baking, so you are keen on avoiding wheat (note that spelt does contain gluten so no good for those seeking gluten free) there are plenty of recipes to choose from.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and simple cookbook 17 Jan 2013

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent introduction to Scandinavian baking - particularly those delicious pastries which are often disappointing when bought from a British bakery. Much better fresh.

This book is beautifully put together and provides a flavour (excuse the pun) for Scandinavian food. With the wealth of spice and comfort in the recipes I will enjoy working my way through the recipes during the forthcoming dark and cold months!

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book filled with great photography but above all else fantastic recipes! 8 July 2011
By paulscooking
Format:Hardcover
This is a fantastic book to dip in and out of, particularly when you are looking for something a little unusual. The book is beautifully presented with great photography.

The recipes are well constructed and easy to follow and should allow all cooks to create interesting, tasty dishes.

A must if you are entertaining Scandinavian friends, or indeed any lovers of good home cooked food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bursting with Nordic flavour 2 Jun 2011
By A. Hunt
Format:Hardcover
This book is a kitchen treasure. You might be wondering whether recipes created by a former Fat Duck chef would be complicated and fussy, but these are fresh and simple, without any tricks or gimmicks, and yet still sophisticated in taste.

There's really no downside here at all. The book is gorgeous in design and production, so it would make a lovely gift. The food is appealing and healthy. Many of the recipes are relatively quick, and the lengthier ones - baking etc - look well worth the effort.
