A Swedish Kitchen: Reminiscences and Recipes is the story of an American woman’s 25-year love affair with the land, people, and cuisine of this Nordic nation. Sharing her passion for food, Judith Pierce Rosenberg leads the reader into her favorite markets to buy wild strawberries and smoked reindeer meat and to her favorite cafés for a strong cup of Swedish coffee and a spiral cinnamon bun or almond tart. Among her culinary adventures are a gourmet dinner at a wilderness lodge, a medieval banquet with fire-breathing performers, and a Christmas smorgasbord with all the trimmings. Throughout this culinary memoir, the author not only reflects on her personal experiences but also weaves in the historical and cultural context of Swedish cooking. The book includes 80 recipes that highlight traditional flavors, fresh, healthy ingredients, and simple preparations like rhubarb soup, princess cake, Jansson’s temptation, and pasta with smoked salmon and saffron sauce.

Born in Wichita, Kansas, Judith Pierce Rosenberg is a freelance writer, ESL teacher, and the author of A Question of Balance: Artists and Writers on Motherhood (Papier-Mache Press, 1995). The mother of two grown children, she lives with her husband and pug in Palo Alto, California and Stockholm, Sweden. Her website is www.swedishkitchen.com.
