The Nordic Cookbook , richly illustrated with the personal photography of internationally acclaimed chef Magnus Nilsson, unravels the mysteries of Nordic ingredients and introduces the region's culinary history and cooking techniques. Included in this beautiful book are more than 700 authentic recipes Magnus collected while travelling extensively throughout the Nordic countries – Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden – enhanced by atmospheric photographs of its landscapes and people. His beautiful photographs feature in the book alongside images of the finished dishes by Erik Olsson, the photographer behind Fäviken . With Magnus as a guide, everyone can prepare classic Nordic dishes and also explore new ones. The Nordic Cookbook introduces readers to the familiar (gravlax, meatballs and lingonberry jam) and the lesser-known aspects of Nordic cuisine (rose-hip soup, pork roasted with prunes, and juniper beer). Organized by food type, The Nordic Cookbook covers every type of Nordic dish including meat, fish, vegetables, breads, pastries and desserts. These recipes are achievable for home cooks of all abilities and are accompanied by narrative texts on Nordic culinary history, ingredients and techniques including smoking and home preserving. Additional essays explore classic dishes made for special occasions and key seasonal events, such as the Midsummer feast. The Nordic Cookbook joins Phaidon's national cuisine series, which includes Mexico, India, Thailand, Peru and others, and is the most comprehensive source on home cooking from the Nordic countries. Review: Amazing - Outstanding book of incredible information. This book has so much more than just the recipes. It reminds me of cooks illustrated style of instruction and background. It’s uses teaching moments to educate you on the Nordic cuisine, culture, cooking and more. Review: A Great Book on Scandinavian Recipes! This book helped me learn more about my Nordic heritage! - My maternal great-grandparents were both from Southern Sweden before they immigrated to America. I'm 3rd generation American and over the generations, some of our Swedish heritage was lost. My grandfather knew how to read and speak Swedish fluently and he cooked and prepared Swedish dishes. However, my mother never learned his mother tongue, but she learned how to prepare some Swedish and Scandinavian dishes. When I was a kid, my mother prepared the dishes that her father taught her like potato and bacon dumplings, which is similar to the Oland-Style Potato and Wheat dumplings "Olandska Kroppkakor pg. 460 in the book and fish cakes with dill sauce similar to the Danish Fish Cakes "Fiskefrikadeller" pg. 226 that were served with potato pancakes. This is a great book that brought me closer to my heritage. There are so many recipes in the book and it includes the region that the recipe is from. A brief history is also included with some of the recipes. The measurements are written in both European and American measurements, so it makes it easier for me to follow the recipes and not have to calculate conversions. Awesome book!! If I made one recipe from this book every day, I would have over 2 years of having a different recipe each day. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #59,138 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Nordic & Scandinavian Travel #7 in Scandinavian Cooking, Food & Wine #69 in Travel Writing Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 963 Reviews | ## Images ![The Nordic Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81q7QhvWi4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by S***T on December 21, 2025* Outstanding book of incredible information.

It's not just a collection of recipes but it's also glimpses into Nordic culture and its food history--through photos, chapter prefaces, and recipe background info. While a small portion of the recipes do call for exotic meats not common in other worlds, many of them can be substituted for other meats. Like the section for Game, the bird in question can be substituted for common quail, Cornish game hen, etc. Of course the exact result may differ, but you can still get a taste of the spirit of the dish and get a unique experience out of it. And not to worry: there are also entire chapters dedicated to the common meats, like beef, pork, and seafood. The recipes are not overly complex--they don't call for perfect mastery of intricate techniques or fancy tools and equipment. They are humble dishes, but presented from a different perspective and palate than what we may be used to. Many dishes may feel so familiar to you already, but there is something different about it, like maybe it uses a completely different kind of sauce or flavor profile, so it's still approachable and not so exotic seeming that you could never cook it. I find this book great for getting new ideas for casual home cooking, especially since most recipes use common ingredients already. I especially like the sections covering recipes and history of drinks, jams, and condiments. I expect to use this book for many years, with many sticky bookmarks sticking out of it. The only con is that the book is never going to stand on a cookbook stand because it's so thick! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Nordic Cookbook: 0000 - The Nordic Baking Book - Fäviken: 4015 Days - Beginning to End --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/19745851-the-nordic-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/19745851-the-nordic-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
