We’ve long looked south for our food inspiration – but what about our neighbours to the north? We share a climate, a history (those Vikings got everywhere) and a love of cool, from sleek Nordic design to clear frosty November mornings. We also share our love of the outdoors – bracing autumn days, bright spring mornings, lazy summers by the water and long winter walks – and the pleasure of sharing good food with friends around the kitchen table. Discover the secrets of Scandinavian cooking – from delicious healthy breakfasts and leisurely brunches to tasty suppers and plenty of stress-free crowd-pleaser puddings. Learn the knack of putting together the perfect smorrebrod for a speedy Scandi lunch, and discover some very more-ish cakes and biscuits to accompany your afternoon cuppa.From cinnamon chestnut bread, cardamom cream buns and home-made gravadlax to soups, salads, smoothies and much more, Signe Johansen, a young cook steeped in the traditions of Scandinavia and trained by the best British chefs, shows us that it’s not all herrings and meatballs… although you will find them in here too. Fresh, light, surprisingly indulgent, this is food to lift your spirits – it’s quite simply Scandilicious!

The Independent on Sunday, 50 Best Cookbooks

Tim Hayward, Financial Times Books of the Year
If you thought Scandinavian food was all about herring, think again. It is, as they say in the fashion world, so hot right now; as is Johansen, a food anthropologist with a winning style and a great way with a recipe
Zoe Williams, Guardian Books of the Year
'I fell for the dinner course: four racy soups, including a zingy beetroot and ginger, and a number of piquant fish recipes'
Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year 2011
'Practical and inspiring . . . Johansen's recipes are homely and doable'
Shropshire Star
Like the genius behind Noma, who fills his menu with northern European specialities, such as local vegetables, foraged herbs and fresh fish, Johansen also wants to shift the gastronomic compass away from the Mediterranean... From Finnish blueberry tart and Bergen fish chowder (after her father's home town) to Norwegian lemon, currant and almond cake, the recipes brim with fresh, accessible flavours.
