Overview: 250 Recipes from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
Nordic cuisine, also known as Scandinavian cuisine, encompasses the culinary traditions of the Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. This cuisine is heavily influenced by the region’s geographical and climatic conditions, which include cold temperatures, a short growing season, and a strong emphasis on utilizing local, seasonal ingredients.
1. Natural and Local Ingredients: One of the defining characteristics of Nordic cuisine is the focus on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The region is blessed with pristine waters, lush forests, and fertile farmlands, which provide an abundance of high-quality seafood, game, berries, mushrooms, and root vegetables.
2. Seafood: Seafood plays a significant role in Nordic cuisine due to the region’s extensive coastline. Fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, cod, and trout are staples in Nordic diets. They’re often prepared using traditional methods like smoking, curing, or pickling, which contribute to unique flavors and textures.
3. Preserving Techniques: Historically, preserving techniques like salting, smoking, and pickling were essential to preserve food for the long winters. Gravlax (cured salmon), pickled herring, and smoked fish are classic examples of this preservation tradition that remains popular today.
