Sweden – there's hardly any other country we associate so closely with a life in harmony with nature. Elisabeth Grindmayer takes us on a journey to her homeland: She tells us about the most important regional festivals and traditions and shares her favorite Swedish recipes. We celebrate Midsummer with a classic herring wreath, celebrate the fika ritual with freshly baked cinnamon rolls, savor the scent of freedom with grilled lamb loin, and nibble on the spicy Yule pastry pepperkakor.
50 typical recipes, stories of forest bathing, elves and trolls, as well as pictures of lonely lakes and red wooden houses bring the Swedish way of life into your home.
On their blog, the two sisters Steffi and Lisa report on their life in the countryside and share the best recipes from their kitchen garden. As experienced restaurateurs, they have long been concerned with healthy, sustainable nutrition, regional diversity, and quality food. By returning to their parents' farm, they have fulfilled their desire for a more authentic lifestyle, with many animals, a large garden, and a regionally seasonal diet – entirely in harmony with the seasons.
