Format:Hardcover
The photography in this book is stunning and there are a host of unusal recipes (I have almost 300 cookbooks so was attracted to this because it was a bit different).
There were several recipes that caught my eye, winter vegetable crumble, pigeon with red wine and cabbage risotto and honey glazed ham in pretzels not to mention the glorious looking puddings that would warm you up on the dreary winter nights to come.
However, the back jacket claims that we will be taken on a culinary journey throughout northern Europe and into Russia, which I am sure we were - but none of the recipes had ANY commentary whatsoever, so I have no idea where the crumble or the risotto originate and I think a couple of lines to introduce each recipe would have made a very good book, perfect and one that I would have wanted to take to bed and read cover to cover rather than just flick through the photography. From the unusual titles of some of the dishes too it is hard to imagine what they actually contain and taste like (although the stranger ingredients are commented on it foot notes) so again some description of what it tastes like or when it was cooked or some other personal insights would help to tempt me to make some of the quirky dishes and would draw the average cook into the book more readily.

The Winter Vegetable Crumble has been much praised and I agree, it is worth the price on it's own, all of my guests keep asking me to make it again!
I have tried the steak with fois gras and spiced cocoa sauce which was a delight to make and went down so very well, and the Goulash Soup was lushous
I am cooking a receipe each week and am looking forward to the choice.
It's not often that I get so excited about a cookery book though it is a delight to expand my skills and knowledge as I haven't looked at Eastern European or Scandinanian cookery before now.
If anything the book has wonderful photography and is well thought out and constructed. Treat yourself and buy yourself a copy

This book is a treasure trove of unusual and delicious recipes. I am an avid collector of cookery books (200+ at the last count) and this one tends to be one i reach for every time i have guests over for dinner. The venison stroganoff is an absolute triumph, as is the warm apple toddy. I have come to like the the clumsy layout, every time i flick through its pages i seem to stumble across a new dish. The design of the book is just as mouth watering as the recipes; Stark crisp white pages, hidden glossy snowflakes and photography that wouldn't look out of place in a gallery.
