In the warmer months we crave food that is often naturally lighter and
nourishing. Scandinavians do summer food so well--it is wholesome,
flavoursome, simple to make and sumptuous to look at. In Scandinavian
culture, eating well is all about 'lagom' or balance-- everything in
moderation. Try the tempting breakfast ideas such as Blueberry Porridge.
Sharing plates such as Smoked Mackerel Rillettes with Rye Crisps are
ideal for grazing, while satisfying larger plates include Herbed Pork
Tenderloin with Hasselback Potatoes or Danish Plaice with Remoulade. The
all-important cake and fika recipes include a Midsummer Strawberry Cake
and Skinny Lemon Muffins. A classic Sourdough Rye Loaf and Seeded
Crispbread with Dried Nettles are on offer in the breads chapter, and
tempting desserts include a Swedish Mess with Cloudberries, plus there
are some refreshing summer drinks to sip, such as a traditional aquavit
cocktail. Also included are Brontë's fascinating insights into
Scandinavian summer traditions and celebrations.
