Toscaboard (Swedish Almond Cookies)

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:53:11 -0400

This recipe came from an October 1986 article in Bon Appetit by Lena Cederham Birnbaum. They make a really nice addition to a dessert table or a coffee party and are best served the same they are baked. The recipe is long but they are not hard to make. I've searched the net looking for this recipe and have found nothing other than some other people also searching so hopefully posting it here will help other lost souls like me who misplaced this great recipe. -- posted by Marysdottir

Abc Breads

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:09:40 -0400

This is from a householding and cookbook which they use in 1st grade (6 yrs olds). Make the dough, take small oieces of it and build your letter (first letter of your name) with it. You can also write words. I have seen this instead of name-cards and children birthdays and it was just great. Both, decorative and good to eat. -- posted by Iceland

Depression Mustard, Egg, Vinegar Sauce - Slaw,lettuce or Pork

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:20:29 -0400

I do not see eggs cooked in any dressing except hard boiled and sliced. This dressing is very adaptable. It is cooled before drizzling on cabbage, warm for lettuce and warm for drizzling on sliced pork This is simple and cheap. Thus the name and in this economy we need inexpensive recipes. I triple this for large portion of potato salad also after you have salted and peppered the potatos and hard boiled eggs and onions and added celery seed. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Cinnamon Rolls

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:55:48 -0400

Scandinavian Potluck Picnic Salad

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 00:53:25 -0400

I originally got this from a "best" of fundraiser cookbooks collection. It is "stupid simple", and ideal for make ahead or potluck purposes. In fact, it demands to be made ahead - at least 24 hours. It has loads of sugar, but a lot of that is drained off. -- posted by Catte Nappe

Grandma Jennie's Sauerbraten

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:25:15 -0400

A nearly one hundred year-old German-Swedish sauerbraten recipe handed down from my grandmother Jennie. There are literally hundreds of sauerbraten recipes on the internet. I've tried many, but I always return to this one (wouldn't have anything to do with my fondness for my grandma, would it?). It's simple and on the sweet side, but the sugar in the marinade makes for a tender and delectible roast. -- posted by Magic Jeff

Ground Turkey With Gjetost Sauce

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 17:17:44 -0400

This family favorite is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Gjetost (pronounced "yay - toast") is also known as Norwegian brown cheese. It can be a little hard to locate, but markets with good cheese sections (such as Whole Foods) usually have it in stock. -- posted by Donna Lv.

Ginger Snaps (Pepparkakor)

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:13:43 -0400

Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without these cookies on the Smorgasboard table. We cut them in all kinds of shapes, stars, hearts, goats, reindeer, you name it. Don't just save them for the holidays, however, these are great any time of the year. It's key to roll these very thin before cutting out, as that is what gives the cookie it's traditional "snap". These cookies are a bit of work, but the dough freezes beautifully, so make a batch of dough, cut and bake a few, then freeze the rest for another day. -- posted by IngridH

Cinnamon Buttermilk Biscuits

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:19:08 -0400

Stuffed Cabbage Leaves (Kaaldolmer)

Sun, 10 May 2009 19:59:12 -0400

Stuffed cabbage leaves are popular all over the world, and in Scandinavia cabbage leaves are filled with well-seasoned tidbits. This recipe can be prepared in advance and reheated in their sauce just before serving. This recipe is from Scandia's in Los Angeles, and the recipe is from "A Treasury of Great Recipes" by Mary & Vincent Price. This is great served with mashed potatoes and buttered green beans as a main dish, or it can be used as an appetizer serving the individual rolls. -- posted by breezermom

Sheila's Swedish Creme

Wed, 13 May 2009 22:33:58 -0400

This is a "must have" on our Christmas dessert table, but it is equally as good any time of year, or for any occasion. Although I use berries, it is wonderful with all different fresh fruits, such as kiwi or peaches. It is also very versatile and can be layered with fruit in a parfait dish if you prefer, nestled in a puff pastry or dessert shell, or set in a mold. We always serve it in one large stemmed glass bowl. Preparation time does not include chilling time. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Not yer average "okay, serve me for breakfast" coffeecake, this one screams: "Darhling, you simply MUST serve me as I am bursting with delicious flavors!" Calorie counters and carb-busters should cut smaller pieces--everyone else may have a normal-sized slice! Makes a very nice family-sized 'cake loaded with crunchy sweetness. Serve with a plate of fried eggs, fruit slices and milk, tea or coffee. Adapted from *Midwest Living* December 2006. -- posted by Debber

Finnish Beef and Dumpling Soup (Klimppisoppa from Finland)

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:55:11 -0400

This is from "The Best of Finnish Cooking." The author wanted to put together all of her Finnish recipes so that her sons could continue the family traditions and have those wonderful things to eat. This soup is a specialty of Western Finland. I haven't made it yet. Times are just guesstimates because I have no idea how long it would take for potatoes to cool as she mentions. -- posted by Debbie R.

Breakfast on the Deck Sour Cream Waffles

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:55:46 -0400

I had these for the first time on the deck at my brother and sister-in-law's home in S. Cal. They had such a declicous flavor, and eating outside made them even better. Enjoy them with fruit and whipped cream or your favorite syrup. If you want an even lighter texture you can seperate the eggs, whip the whites and fold them in at the end; my SIL always mixes them in whole and they are wonderful! -- posted by momaphet

Sailor's Beef Casserole (Merimiespihvi) - Finnish

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:55:59 -0400

This is from the "Best of Finnish Cooking". The author put it together to pass on her heritage to her sons. I haven't tried it yet. The meats listed need long, slow, low-heat simmers, otherwise they'll be tough and not very good. It's something you can't rush. Finnish food is salty, but use your own judgement and discretion when it comes to the amount that you use. Two teaspoons would be too much for me personally. -- posted by Debbie R.

Finnish Beef Ragout (Palapaisti - Finland)

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:56:05 -0400

This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking", which holds the author's Finnish recipes for her sons, so that they can always have these dishes. I haven't tried this yet. The only other recipe that uses allspice and heavy cream had cumin in it, which isn't Finnish at all. This dish is often served with browned rutabagas and boiled potatoes. Simmering the ragout can be done on the stovetop or inside the oven. The great thing about round steak is that it is a cheaper piece of meat. However, a long, slow, low-heat simmer is necessary to make it tender. Don't try to rush with higher heat. -- posted by Debbie R.

Finnish Browned Rutabagas - (Paistetut Lantut - Finland)

Finnish Rauma Cookies (Rauman Piparkakut - Finland)

Sun, 31 May 2009 20:12:01 -0400

This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking", a cookbook by which the author is passing on Finnish cooking heritage to her sons. I haven't tried it yet. It differs from the other piparkakut recipes in that it doesn't use corn syrup. I think the sour cream in this one takes the place of it. -- posted by Debbie R.

Creamlessly Delicious Swedish Meatball Sauce

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:35:49 -0400

I've been using this recipe from "Meals with a Foreign Flair" cookbook for many years. I'm not much for cream sauces and this one stands on its own without the rich cream. The instant coffee really picks this up. Generally, I buy the frozen Swedish meatballs and pour this sauce over the finished product. Sure beats the hassle of preparing the meatballs from scratch. -- posted by Magic Jeff

Danish Meatballs (Frikadeller)

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:31:49 -0400

The Danes and the Swedes were in numerous wars over hundreds of years; one reason could have been 'the meatballs'. Most people will think of Sweden and perhaps IKEA when they think of meatballs; however it is also a traditional dish in Denmark and it is a dish that varies from family to family, often being passed down through generations. My recipe goes back at least 100 years, perhaps more; but I have traced it back to my great-grandmother and can remember making the meatballs with my grandmother as a little girl. The difference between the Danish and Swedish meatballs is often that ground pork is added to Danish meatballs making them fluffier and - being Danish - I think more tasty ;) -- posted by Deantini

Rhubarb Crisp: a Celebration of Summer!

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:48:58 -0400

My rhubarb flourishes at the end of my clothesline, right next to a patch of hollyhocks that sway in the summer breezes. Right now there are some little birds (I can't make them out with my spotting scope) snatching up pine needles and flitting about busily. Anyway, this recipe comes from the June '09 issue of *Country Living*. I do live in the country, and have an abundance of rhubarb. It's easy to freeze the cut-up pieces, and if you toss the pieces with sugar (right in the zipper bag), you can pop it in the freezer and use them later. The extra sugar will be fine in the recipe! -- posted by Debber

Just Perfect Turkey Swedish Meatballs

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:25:03 -0400

These meatballs are some of the best I ever had. They have a light texture, a delicate balance of spices, and a nice creamy sauce. The recipe, with just one small change, comes from a package of Just Perfect seasoned ground turkey. Note that there is not much sauce, so if you want a lot of sauce, you might want to double the liquids and the flour. These meatballs are good over noodles or rice. -- posted by Anya

Scandinavian Style Almond Paste

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:40:59 -0400

This is a wonderful almond paste to use in recipes like scones, pizzelles, almond cookies, and other pastries but is optimal for those itty bitty Danish almond cakes. I got this from a cooking magazine a few years ago. My version calls for 2 tbsp butter but you might want to up it to 3 if you find that it's not a good consistency or almond-to-butter ratio. If you don't have almond extract at hand (because you're like me and are too poor and/or lazy to buy a bottle), vanilla extract will work too. Also you need a food processor for this! -- posted by the80srule

You can use different kind of fruits, i love to use seasonal things so i would use berries in fall, bananas in winter, strawberries in spring and mango in summer. You can also use chocolate chips, raisins, nuts or a combination of those to make the batter according to your personal preferances and taste. -- posted by Iceland

Swedish Chocolate Cake

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:58:57 -0400

Usually this includes a lot of additional eggs, sugar and butter but no flour - which makes it good as well but somewhat richer. I changed the recipe as i could not be bothered to whip the egg whites and care for the batter to cool down in order to add the yolks. So i went for a little four instead and gave it a try. What a treat! I love it! It is just too easy to be good :-) Enjoy with vanilla icecream. Note: You can use any chocolate you like but i recomend good quality chocolate with at leat 60% cacao. -- posted by Iceland

Cranberry Muesli

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:24:46 -0400

From EatingWell Magazine (2007), there may be as many versions of muesli as there are breakfast cereals, but this one's modeled after the original Swiss wake-you-up -- a combination of overnight-soaked grains, nuts, dried fruit and yogurt. Make it the night before and you'll have breakfast ready when you are. -- posted by FloridaNative

Sugar, Salt & Vinegar Red Tomatoes

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:38:01 -0400

I just reviewed a Sugar Glazed Fried Green Tomato recipe on Zaar and it reminded me of a recipe I use constantly during the summer and it is not posted. My mother stated it was Swedish and my father stated it was German or Bavarian. Very simple and the marinating juice can be used in soups, stews or vegetable pies. Note: You can use raw sugar also. These tomatoes can be added to a simple lettuce salad and no dressing is necessary or served separately with juice drained. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Gourmet Danish Bitty Almond Cakes

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:40:30 -0400

NOTE: you need muffin and/or mini-muffin pans to do this! From a cooking magazine, this is a delicious taste of Copenhagen that makes a lovely finger food dessert for dinner parties and high teas. (Or in my case, getting drunk with my friends watching The Golden Girls.) For the almond paste, I recommend Recipe #389810 rather than storebought. Since I use a convection oven, I had to adjust the time downward. Yields about 24 mini-muffin sized cakes. -- posted by the80srule

Coconut Cookie Slices (Danish Fedtebrød)

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:17:01 -0400

These cookie slices were my absolute favorites growing up in Denmark; they are simple but yet so delicious - especially if you are a sweetened coconut fan. This is an old family recipe; I have tried to search the origin but it goes hundreds of years back literally. I have done my best to convert recipe into cups/tbsp but if you have a scale I recommend that you weigh the ingredients instead of using the other measures. The cookies freeze well. -- posted by Deantini

Finnish Cookies / Danish Finsk Broed

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:58:59 -0400

These cookies are very delicate and melt in your mouth. The name is a bid odd, it is a Danish cookie but directly translated called 'Finnish Bread'. The dough needs to rest for at least one hour which is not included in the prep time. Note - The dough can be frozen for easy planning -- posted by Deantini

These balls are wonderful savory bites. Place them in little foil cups for beautiful presentation and for something different on your cookie tray. -- posted by Deantini
