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 good anthropologist with a winning style and a great way with a recipe'
'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 )'Practical and inspiring . . . Johansen's recipes are homely and doable'
(Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year 2011 )'Each recipe is accompanied by gorgeous photography and lends itself perfectly to a celebration of the pleasure of sharing good food with friends'
'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 )Product Description
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! (20111126)

5.0 out of 5 stars
Clear instructions, beautiful results,
By Ms A Phelan (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of Scandinavian Cooking ...: Scandilicious (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!

Bursting with Nordic flavour,
By
This review is from: Secrets of Scandinavian Cooking ...: Scandilicious (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.

A beautiful book filled with great photography but above all else fantastic recipes!,
This review is from: Secrets of Scandinavian Cooking ...: Scandilicious (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.
