SMORGASBORD

An illustrated cookbook on the classic breads and savory foods of a Swedish smörgåsbord that can be enjoyed for parties and holidays as well as for kitchen staples for snacking and small meals.

SMÖRGÅSBORD presents a savory spin on Swedish baking, pantry, and party favorites from the coauthor of Fika (Ten Speed Press, 2015; 25k+ copies shipped, approximately a third of which were shipped outside of the US and Canada). Johanna is the perfect ambassador for Swedish food and lifestyle and more than 30% of the visitors to her blog, Kokblog, originate in Europe. In addition to very positive reviews in the US, Fika was also featured in Expressen (Sweden), Damernas Varld (Sweden), and Elle Eten (Netherlands). It has been licensed in Korea (Hugobooks), Taiwan (Motifpress), and China (Henan Tianyi).

Similar to the first book, SMÖRGÅSBORD features a beautifully illustrated, Scandinavian style design throughout that will appeal to bakers, Scandiphiles, and people of Swedish descent alike. Included in this book are recipes for classic breads and savory foods of a Swedish smörgåsbord that can be enjoyed for parties and holidays as well as for everyday snacking and small meals. Dishes such as Savory Breakfast Rolls, Chicken Liver Pate, Elderflower Cured Trout, Fresh Cheese, Swedish Deviled Eggs, Buttery Red Cabbage, and infused aquavit liqueurs provide a refreshing variety to the usual sweet recipes found in similar books. Each chapter opens with musing on Swedish life and tips for how to incorporate the Scandi sensibility into your next picnic, gathering, or just your afternoon snack!
