Our love of things Scandinavian continues to grow… A beautiful book that conveys the simplicity and clean flavours of this region’s cooking.”
Delicious Magazine
“Time was when the most exciting name in Scandinavian food was the Muppets’ Swedish chef – but no longer!… Bright young cooks such as London-based Norwegian Signe Johansen have emerged to guide us beyond our meatballs and pickled herring prejudices. Her clean, simple recipes are fjord-fresh, with welcome alternatives for ingredients that might be hard to find.”
You Magazine
“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
“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
“Scandi cuisine is the coolest food trend of the moment and, if you’re curious to get to know it better, this is the perfect intro, with gorgeous, simple, and often very healthy recipes that show how this way of eating goes deliciously way beyond the pickled herring cliches.”
Tesco Real Food Magazine
