Treat your family and friends to peasoup with salted pork and pancakes, boiled cod with eggsauce, Wallenbergers and strawberrycake och try some saffron buns for the winter season holidays. The Swedish cuisine is much more than "smörgåsbord" and aquavit. The Best of Swedish Cooking of course teaches you how to plan and prepare a real "smörgåsbord" but also contains recipes on traditional everyday dishes and dishes for special occasions.

In order to make it as easy as it is enjoyable to cook the Swedish way the measurements have also been converted into imperial and American standards. Some of the ingredients have been adapted to foodstuffs to be found outside Sweden.
