Nordic Winter Cookbook by Cozy Publishing brings together the best Nordic winter delicacies for both the festive table and everyday life. With a strong emphasis on local ingredients, the book introduces sweet and savory recipes as well as nature-inspired decorations and foodie gift ideas. The recipes, concept and visual expression of the book were created Viola Minerva Virtamo, who has previously published five bestselling books.
The long Nordic winter season is punctuated by delicious culinary feasts – Christmas shining as the brightest star. Any excuse to get creative in the kitchen and gather our nearest and dearest around the table brings light in the middle of the dark. An alluring, shimmering elegance points the way to a winter wonderland. This is your chance to taste genuine seasonal delicacies!
For a pre-Christmas cocktail party, finesse slices of archipelago bread with piquant apple & whitefish tartar and vegetable carpaccio. Celebrate the New Year by decking the table with blinis. After a day in the snow on Shrove Tuesday, there’s nothing like tucking into classic salmon soup and cream-filled ‘semla’. Decorate the festive table with a wreath of evergreens and serve up some creamy artichoke soup, gin & beetroot cured salmon, a new take on Finnish ‘rosolli’ salad and parmesan & thyme broccoli. How about some velvety cardamom cake, mouth-watering gingerbread tiramisu or sea buckthorn cheesecake for dessert?
