The Nordic Cookbook Review: Chef library - Must have for a chef's library. Beautiful book, beautifully written. This is NOT Food Network. It is a serious book for serious, inqisitive people. Some reviewers complain about a multitude of "issues" in the book. I say educate yourself and step it up or stay in your ready meal lane. However, most complaints are due to ignorance. Most daring to intermediate cooks can handle 90%+ of this one. And the rest will learn alot if not set on cooking everything from a can. I read this book like my Larousse and some things I cook and some I don't. If you have reindeer available great for you. If you don't then you've just been educated in a cuisine from another culture or region of the country or world. Larouse has recipes for bear and Chow but I don't cook either because I don't live in China, and I don't hunt bear. If I lived in Maine or Canada certainly I could cook the Caribou or the Puffin and you could too. So enjoy the book for what it is. A reference, a great usable cookbook, and a fine cultural resource that you may not be familiar with. If you love food, you'll love this book. My favorite section is the preserving techniques and recipes. Review: Great resource for home cooking - This is a wondrously huge cookbook. It's not just a collection of recipes but it's also glimpses into Nordic culture and its food history--through photos, chapter prefaces, and recipe background info. While a small portion of the recipes do call for exotic meats not common in other worlds, many of them can be substituted for other meats. Like the section for Game, the bird in question can be substituted for common quail, Cornish game hen, etc. Of course the exact result may differ, but you can still get a taste of the spirit of the dish and get a unique experience out of it. And not to worry: there are also entire chapters dedicated to the common meats, like beef, pork, and seafood. The recipes are not overly complex--they don't call for perfect mastery of intricate techniques or fancy tools and equipment. They are humble dishes, but presented from a different perspective and palate than what we may be used to. Many dishes may feel so familiar to you already, but there is something different about it, like maybe it uses a completely different kind of sauce or flavor profile, so it's still approachable and not so exotic seeming that you could never cook it. I find this book great for getting new ideas for casual home cooking, especially since most recipes use common ingredients already. I especially like the sections covering recipes and history of drinks, jams, and condiments. I expect to use this book for many years, with many sticky bookmarks sticking out of it. The only con is that the book is never going to stand on a cookbook stand because it's so thick! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #60,038 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Nordic & Scandinavian Travel #8 in Scandinavian Cooking, Food & Wine #52 in Travel Writing Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (957) | | Dimensions | 7.55 x 2.5 x 11.1 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0714868728 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0714868721 | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 768 pages | | Publication date | October 26, 2015 | | Publisher | Phaidon Press | ## Images ![The Nordic Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81q7QhvWi4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chef library *by K***T on April 6, 2020* Must have for a chef's library.

This book helped me learn more about my Nordic heritage! *by F***G on April 22, 2021* My maternal great-grandparents were both from Southern Sweden before they immigrated to America. I'm 3rd generation American and over the generations, some of our Swedish heritage was lost. My grandfather knew how to read and speak Swedish fluently and he cooked and prepared Swedish dishes. However, my mother never learned his mother tongue, but she learned how to prepare some Swedish and Scandinavian dishes. When I was a kid, my mother prepared the dishes that her father taught her like potato and bacon dumplings, which is similar to the Oland-Style Potato and Wheat dumplings "Olandska Kroppkakor pg. 460 in the book and fish cakes with dill sauce similar to the Danish Fish Cakes "Fiskefrikadeller" pg. 226 that were served with potato pancakes. This is a great book that brought me closer to my heritage. There are so many recipes in the book and it includes the region that the recipe is from. A brief history is also included with some of the recipes. The measurements are written in both European and American measurements, so it makes it easier for me to follow the recipes and not have to calculate conversions. Awesome book!! If I made one recipe from this book every day, I would have over 2 years of having a different recipe each day. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Nordic Cookbook: 0000 - The Nordic Baking Book - Fäviken: 4015 Days - Beginning to End --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/19745851-the-nordic-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.at/products/19745851-the-nordic-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
