Modern Nordic

Modern Nordic celebrates contemporary Scandinavian cuisine with a focus on local recipes that can easily be recreated at home.

Filled with dishes that typify the food of this vast geographical region, this book takes its influence from the traditional ingredients that can be found from Sweden to Finland and Denmark to Norway, and transforms them into modern recipes that are hugely popular throughout Nordic homes, often updated or elevated.

The book is split into eight chapters, based on different food groups including ingredients found ‘from the forest’, ‘from the sea’, ‘from the land’, and ‘in the larder’, along with a basics chapter that demystifies the process of smoking food and other classic Scandinavian cooking techniques such as pickling.

 At the end of the book there is also a glossary explaining substitutes and hard-to-find ingredients. Recipes concentrate on modern, everyday dishes that use the freshest of ingredients and are simple to create. 

Matched with stunning Scandy-inspired photography throughout including imagery of landscapes, nature and produce shot on location, Modern Nordic is a feast for all the senses.
