The Nordic Baking Book

Description

Nordic culture is renowned for its love of baking and baked goods: hot coffee is paired with cinnamon buns laced with cardamom, and cold winter nights are made cozier with the warmth of the oven. No one is better equipped to explore this subject than acclaimed chef Magnus Nilsson. In THE NORDIC BAKING BOOK, Nilsson delves into all aspects of Nordic home baking - modern and traditional, sweet and savoury - with recipes for everything from breads and pastries to cakes, cookies, and holiday treats.

Magnus Nilsson is head chef of Faviken Magasinet restaurant in Sweden. After training as a chef and sommelier in Sweden he worked with Pascal Barbot of L' Astrance in Paris before joining Faviken as sommelier. Within a year he was running the restaurant. Magnus features in the Emmy-Award winning US PBS series The Mind of a Chef and the Net?ix docuseries Chef's Table. In 2015 he won the White Guide Global Gastronomy Award.
