Scandinavian Restaurants |
ScandinavianScandinavian food is romantic. The cooking is pure and simple, foods taste of themselves. So what is Scandinavian cuisine? It’s many things–fish, pork and poultry, as well as beets, potatoes, cucumbers, dill, parsley and horseradish, broiled, baked, and smoked apples. Swedish cuisine tends to be hearty, practical and sustaining. The cuisine of Denmark is traditionally heavy and rich in fat. For hundreds of years many of the recipes being used today weren’t written down but handed down, like folk ballads, mouth to mouth, memory to memory.
