Nordic Bakery Cookbook by Miisa Mink
This new cookbook features the products from the Nordic Bakery, a
peaceful haven in the heart of London's bustling West End. Launched in
2007, the bakery and cafe emphasizes seasonal produce and healthier
baking ingredients, such as rye flour, oats and barley reflecting the
comforting style of baking in Scandinavia. Each recipe is accompanied
by full-color photography, and ingredients use U.S. measurements.
This wonderful book would make a perfect gift for the baker on your gift-giving list. This is not Grandma Carlson's baking style. No lefse here. These are contemporary Scandinavian bakery items!

The Farmer's Wife Cookbooks
Serve
up a piece of the past as you savor the flavor of farm kitchen cooking!
Long before the Internet and high-speed travel connected us all, The
Farmers Wife magazine gave hard-working rural women a place to find and
share advice about everything from raising chickens to running a farm
kitchen.
All
of the recipes in the following four cookbooks first appeared on the
pages of The Farmer’s Wife magazine. The classic recipes in these
cookbooks have been adapted for the needs of the modern kitchen, but
they still preserve the flavor of a life dedicated to feeding not just
the family, but also the nation.
All four have spiral binding allowing the
books to lay flat when open.
The
Farmer's Wife
Cookbook by
Martha Engstrom
Step
back into great grandma's kitchen in about 1893. Farm cooking was a
tough job, but the results of that labor were completely satisfying:
hearty, delicious meals that re-energized tired muscles and warmed the
soul. The Farmer’s Wife Cookbook brings together more than 400
easy-to-follow recipes, some with suggested variations, and dozens of
menus that originated in farm kitchens nationwide between 1893 and 1939.

your own
garden and farmer’s market bounty; and still others will help you solve

 Ględelig
Jul: A Danish Cristmas Recipe Book
by Dagmarette Yen
This
beautiful
Danish recipe book was released less than two months ago by first time
author,
Dagmarette Yen. This book will make a lovely holiday gift and because
of its
recent release, chances are unlikely that your friends or family will
have
this.
According
to her bio, Dagmarette "spent her childhood atop the kitchen counter"
where she learned the same cooking skills that her mother, who
came to America from Denmark at age 18,
learned from
her
grandmother.
In
compiling this "art cookbook," Dagmarette has taken
the
best of the customs, rituals and recipes from her mother's Danish
relatives and
placed them in a lovely, colorful work of art that reflects the
artistic skills
she learned from her Chinese father.
Unlike
common cookbooks that have recipes for many foods divided into
categories such
as appetizers, beverages, etc., this 50-page book's focus is on
Christmas foods
only, and the chapters are separated into Night
Before, Juleaften (or
Christmas Eve), and Julebord, the Christmas table or Christmas spread.
It is
Dagmarette's intention to preserve and share the holiday traditions
that her
family treasures when they gather "for the grandest feast of the
year." She has achieved this goal already by making
this new
marvelous work available.

Christmas
Cookies: Bite-Size Holiday
Lessons
by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Perhaps
this shouldn't be listed as a cookbook, but the young child who
receives this
book will learn not only how to make rolled Christmas cookies and the
joy of
decorating them, but will learn about the importance of holiday
traditions and
sharing as well. This book — listed for "all ages," but geared to
children ages four to eight — is really a glossary that teaches the
meaning of
"big" words (charitable, appreciative, responsible, celebrate,
selfish, gracious) and how these words are applied to fulfilling the
spirit of
the holidays.
Jane
Dyer, who has teamed up with Rosenthal in previous books,
has delightfully
illustrated each page in watercolor paintings with the focus on home,
the
kitchen, winter and the holidays.

The
Finnish Cookbook by Beatrice
A. Ojakangas
First
published in 1964, this
cookbook — called "Finland's best-selling cookbook adapted for American
kitchens" — is in its
23rd printing. As part of the Crown Classic Cookbook Series, a
set
of
publications featuring the world's best-loved international
cookbooks,
it is specially adapted for use in American
kitchens. To make
things
less frustrating for the American cook, the measurements are given in
U.S. Customary Units rather than metric, and
recipes are listed by both
their English and Finnish names.
Ojakangas,
who has been
called the "queen of recipe books," is an author and chef in Duluth,
MN, and has written more than a dozen cookbooks. Along
with recipes for
specialties such as Karelian Rice Piirakkaa (thin oval-shaped pies
filled with either rice or mashed potatoes), Rovastinpipparkakut (Bishop's pepper cookies),
spinach pancakes, fish in a crust, and
the Finnish Smorgasbord, the author has
included recipes from both
country and city, full sample menus, and
gives the cultural background
for many of the dishes — especially ones for holiday events.
Ojakangas
includes relevant and interesting tidbits about the land and its
people, background information invaluable to anyone who wants
to
know
more about Finland and Finnish cooking, and she shares
memories
she
attaches to some of these hearty foods from the Land of the
Midnight
Sun.
