Writer Malin Landqvist and photographer Joel Wåreus have produced an irresistible book on Swedish dessert traditions.
You’ll find classics from the four seasons, including semlor, a delectable springtime treat of whipped cream and almond paste on a light wheat roll, Easter cake, a deliciously summery strawberry cake and several other berry-based desserts, baked cinnamon apples for the autumn and, for Christmastime, ginger snaps and saffron buns. It’s a cookbook full of simple recipes, but we also learn to whip up more advanced pastries like Danish weinerbröd, chocolate biskvier made with almonds and butter cream, and princess cake.
