Icelandic Cocoa Soup

Tue, 13 Sep 2005 15:49:26 -0400

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Just picked this recipe up when I was in Iceland from a cookbook called Cool Dishes. I think kids might really like this recipe, and it's relatively healthy too! A dessert soup might tickle their fancy. The book recommends serving this with crumbled rusks. Have not tried this recipe yet. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Midsummer Swedish Strawberry Compote - Jordgubbskräm

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:09:20 -0400

Midsummer would not be Midsummer without strawberries, and this is a simple Swedish recipe to make, to celebrate Midsummer, wherever you may be! In Scandinavia, the summer solstice is a magical time. The lavender twilight lasts until 11 p.m. and the day breaks again at about 2 a.m.; above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't sink below the horizon for weeks. This year, 2007, Midsummer Eve, the beginning of the three day official holiday, falls on June 25. Throughout Scandinavia, families and friends gather to decorate the maypole with birch leaves and wildflowers, make flower crowns for women and girls, dance around the maypole, sing summer songs and feast on pickled herring, new potatoes, and aquavit. In addition, many families have their own special foods that they traditionally serve as the Midsummer meal. These are usually dishes that can be prepared ahead of time and easily served outdoors. -- posted by French Tart

Icelandic Frómas

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 19:18:16 -0500

[fromash] This is what many Icelanders have for Christmas desert, believe it or not. The cook (the housewife)hids an almond in the bottom. The one who later finds it in his/her desert bowl gets a little present, the almond-present. This also ensures that all the thing is eaten. Many families make different tastes of it but the most common are strawberry, pinapple, lemon or cherry. -- posted by Iceland

This is a simple recipe for choclate cookies which are simple and good. -- posted by Iceland

Rice Krispies Muffins

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:49:15 -0500

This is so easy to make and yet delicious. Even tough I do not like rice crispies at all I enjoy these muffins. I was acctually looking for a recipe like this here but could not find it so i posted my recipe here. In Iceland you will hardly find a potluck where these are not one of the treats. But don't be late as they are usually gone soon. Your kids will love these! Note: You may use cornflakes or Cheerios or a mixture of these instead of rice krispies but they are in the original recipe. Chilling time is not included in preparation time. -- posted by Iceland
