great little / big book Feb 21, 2009
By glouise
A compact book with a nice selection of recipes and a huge number of them for such a small book. Each recipe comes with a colored picture. Some recipes have a small description but with the colored pictures, for many an introduction is not necessary and they don't bother. Nicely laid out with metric and imperial measurements (no conversions or translation needed). I can believe this book has been around for 63 years. It is not pretentious or trendy but packs a lot in a small space and may become what I consider a standby book. One of the ones you reach for and always seem to find something that will work. Also a big plus, most of the ingredients are easy to come by.

Awesome and diverse. Feb 21, 2009
By Bumblebug

I found this book at a library and since I am a pastry student, I was thinking it would have a few interesting things in it.
I underestimated how good this book would be. There are so many recipes and a lot of pictures to illustrate what the recipe will look like when completed. And maybe even just to make you salivate.
There is a picture for nearly every recipe. The pictures are medium size and no frills, but I don't mind because this is such a great reference for any devoted baker.
I intend to make some of these items for my portfolio.

Excellent Swedish treat book Jan 30, 2011
By jennibean
My family is swedish, and my grandmother has alzheimer's disease. Most of her receipes are in her head or with my mom or aunts. So I decided to try out this book. The first thing I tried was "Grandmothers Saffran buns" They turned out perfectly (maybe even better than my mom's - don't tell her I said that). Then I tried the lace cookies, just like grandmas! The recipes are very easy to follow and there are great tips on making dough and other things.
I love it!!

Best cookbook ever Mar 08, 2010
By WonderEuroTeacher
This is the best cookbook I've ever used, not a single recipe has failed me, and the result is always a yummy treat, often with not much sugar used. The currant cookies yield about 40 cookies, and only 1/4 c. sugar is called for, they are delicious and not too fattening. This is the next best thing to actually traveling back to Sweden. Now, if only they would get going and publish a book on soups, I'd be set for life.

I have been cooking from the Swedish version of this book for years and had to translate into english. The cakes and cookies are absolutely terrific. Great to find it in English for friends.
