And Delicious New Dishes

While NØRTH is a celebration of the classics, it is equally a celebration of today. Dozens of “Scandinavianish” recipes that are inspired by the flavors and traditions of the region, but with different perspectives and new interpretations.

Scandinavianish dishes are often lighter and more vegetable forward, but just as packed with flavor and comfort as the classics.

Get ready to get excited about the smoked trout dip, the deliciously smooth sunchoke soup, the elegant scallop crudo, and many other incredible Scandinavianish recipes.

GET READY TO COOK!

Curious about the recipes featured in the cookbook? Here are some examples of what you will learn to cook.

SKOMAKARLÅDA - SHOEMAKER'S BOX

Shoemaker ́s Box is one of the simplest, but most delicious dishes in the Nordic kitchen. Perfectly seared beef, preferably a New York strip or a flank, sliced and served on top of creamy mashed pota- toes. Then topped with crispy fried bacon, leeks and a vibrant pan-sauce.

In many parts of Scandinavia, but in Denmark in particular, rye bread is as close to religion as it comes. Everyone has a favorite type, and every family has their own secret recipe. Most are made with sourdough, but if you don’t have the patience to nurture a starter, this recipe is so perfect.

A creamy, umami-packed soup filled with earthy mushrooms. Serve with crusty bread, and a good glass of wine for an lovely appetizer or main course.

Fattiga Riddare, or Poor Knights, is much like a classic French toast, but with those signature baking spices you’ll find in many Scandinavian recipes. It’s probably more suited for a decadent weekend breakfast than dessert, but either way, they’re undeniably delicious.
Chances are you love mashed potatoes. Creamy, luscious, elegant – the perfect companion to every single protein. But how to get those perfectly fluffy potatoes on your table? You’re in luck, because today, Kalle will show you how to make the easiest – and most delicious mashed potatoes you’ve ever tasted.
With a soft, buttery base and a rich almond topping that caramelizes like a boss, this is the kind of treat that feels both homey and kinda fancy. Perfect for a weekend fika or a special dessert, these mini cakes are a great way to enjoy all the flavors of a traditional Tosca cake in a more personal serving size.
When Kalle was growing up, he used to go cod-fishing in the Stockholm archipelago with his father. Cod was so abundant back then it was almost seen as a bycatch. Over the years it by and large disappeared, before making a comeback recently – and it is just the most wonderful fish. Flaky, juicy, gorgeous flesh. Herb crust it, bake it gently in the oven and serve with a simple butter and lemon sauce.
Kalles’ take on the classic Danish Christmas dinner, where roast duck usually steals the show. Instead of roasting a whole bird, he goes with crispy pan-roasted duck breast, rubbed with holiday spices and paired with a rich plum sauce. Serve it with caramelized potatoes and braised red cabbage (recipes in the book), and you’ve got a meal so full of flavor it might just bring a tear to your eye.
If you want to master the age-old Swedish coffee ceremony FIKA, you need to learn how to make Swedish cinnamon buns first. These luscious buns are as delicious as they are pretty.
