"An easy and very tasty oven baked Swedish pancake with bacon - perfect for a busy weekend brunch or breakfast. Try to use high quality smoked bacon for a better flavour and taste."

Ingredients: eggs, smoked back bacon, milk...

"This very old-fashioned, traditional Scandinavian recipe, which is claimed by both Denmark and Norway! Wherever it came from originally, it does not alter the fact that this is a delicious apple, nut and cream layered dessert, which looks very pretty, served in individual glasses. If you can get hold of rye bread to make your breadcrumbs, it will be..."

Ingredients: cooking apples, creme fraiche...

"These sparkling Scandinavian style Christmas biscuits-cookies look just magical, especially when hung with ribbon from the Christmas tree! You need special snowflake biscuit-cookie cutters, and also edible glitter or sparkling silver or white dusting powder. If you cannot source edible sparkle or glitter dusting powder, they still look beautiful if..."

Ingredients: royal icing, eggs, icing sugar...

"I love this, though I will admit that for some it is an acquired taste. I like to top mine with lingon berry sauce, whole cranberry relish would do. It is pronounced 'Rootmoose' or 'rut-Muss' depending on where the speaker is from. I am from the states so I tend to say 'rootmoose'."

Ingredients: cream, rutabagas, milk...

Ingredients: sugar, almond extract, almonds...

"As a 3rd generation Norwegian-American family, Christmas just wasn't Christmas without Grandma's Julekage filling the house with the aroma of cardamom and fresh-baked bread. Several years ago I decided to modify the recipe so I could use my bread machine, and the family has enjoyed having this wonderful bread more easily available. I don't..."

"This is a slightly different Gravlax recipe than normal, as it uses gin and juniper for a clean, sophisticated and fresh taste - if you are not keen on gin - you could use vodka instead! Junipers can also be replaced by a few extra peppercorns.
Gravlax (pronounced grov-lox) is from the Swedish name for this dish. Norwegians call it gravlaks and..."

Ingredients: gin, fresh dill...

"Just like you buy from the Christmas Glogg stands in Scandinavia. This is alchoholic but mellow and needs overnight preparation and the beer to soften the alchohol flavour. Well worth the effort but IT MUST BE COLD OUTSIDE!
You can make the base flavouring and then store and make in smaller quantities later."

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, cloves...

"ZWT6 Scandinavia. It's really such a simple salad that this is where the quality of the ingredients is so important – and getting the slicing thin enough so that there's a bit of refinement to it. Recipe from Blanche Vaughan former Moro and River Cafe cook on http://www.guardian.co.uk."

Ingredients: pickled herring, Dijon mustard...
