Smorgasbord: Deliciously simple modern Scandinavian recipes

Description

Effortless entertaining the Scandinavian way. Relaxed celebrations of food and friends, smorgasbords - of which cripsbreads are always a part - are served throughout the year. This collection of seasonal menus and recipes includes classics such as skagen (prawn salad) and citrus and spice cured gravadlax, but also modern, more informal dishes such as fried chanterelles on toasted sourdough, barbecued zesty cod burgers and orange and ginger waffles with rhubarb compote. For spring, there are ideas for a bonfire party and for celebrating Easter; for summer a midsummer gathering. Autumn has a feast supper and foraged dinner and Winter a Christmas drinks and New Year's brunch. With the emphasis always on simplicity, but also quality, seasonal ingredients, these are dishes to share and enjoy with those you love.

Peter's Yard (Author) Peter's Yard came about when English friends, Ian and Wendy, left their corporate jobs to pursue their ambition of introducing Swedish-inspired crispbread to the UK. They met Peter Ljungquist, who had a small bakery in a typical Skanegard in the Swedish countryside, and discovered the most delicious sourdough crispbread they had ever eaten. They convinced Peter that his crispbread had to be shared with the wider world, and so, Peter's Yard crispbread was born - inspired by Peter, his lovely home and his yard with a wooden gate on the edge of the beautiful Swedish countryside.
