A Nordic Feast: Simple Recipes for Gatherings

As beautiful as it is practical, this collection of crowd-pleasing recipes from one of the pioneers of New Nordic cuisine shows how to make delicious, seasonal, stress-free food for the people you love.

In his book Nordic Family Kitchen Mikkel Karstad applied his culinary skills to easy family meals. Now he offers the same impeccable flavors, practiced techniques, and laid-back style in a guide to effortless entertaining.

Divided into six occasion-based menus, the book sets the stage for a summer barbecue, a formal Christmas dinner, a relaxed family lunch, a children’s birthday picnic, weeknight supper for friends, and Sunday brunch. Each setting is captured in elegant photographs that reflect an atmosphere of togetherness, friendship, and joyful community.

Karstad’s menus are packed with mouth-watering, vegetable- forward recipes using fresh, seasonal ingredients: grilled zucchini halves with ricotta and tarragon; lettuce wraps with squid, papaya, lime, and chili; vegetable chickpea tagine with coconut milk and mint; buttermilk focaccia with wild herbs and mozzarella; rice pudding with cherry sauce; apricot cake with mascarpone; raspberry lemonade; and a blackberry juice gin and tonic.

In a time when gathering with loved ones is more important than ever, this book helps readers create valuable memories with a minimum amount of fuss and a maximum helping of pleasure.
