The Great Scandinavian Baking Book Review
You do not have to be of Scandinavian decent to enjoy "The Great Scandinavian Baking Book." I am a huge proponent of the long-term benefits of teaching children to cook, so I am always looking for recipes that are simple enough for children to prepare, yet delicious enough to inspire repeat performances. I also love the idea of passing down traditions that represent one's own heritage. The book fulfilled one of the two motivating factors behind my purchase.
Although most of the recipes in this book are too complicated and labor intensive to hold the attention of a young child (with a few exceptions, like the magnificent 6 ingredient butter cookie), some of the recipes, especially those that are designed to serve during the holidays, have the potential of becoming household traditions worthy of passing down to your children and grandchildren.
The only downside of the book is that you will need to purchase special cookware for some of the recipes (a simple warning to those who are unfamiliar with Scandinavian baking techniques); and if you are inclined to try recipes based on the accompanying illustrations, you will have to use your imagination instead, because the cover illustration is not representative of the interior design (which is the only reason I settled on 4 stars rather than 5).
