Scandinavian from Scratch: A Love Letter to the Baking of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden [A Baking Book] Hardcover – October 3, 2023
by Nichole Accettola

We just finished reading this cookbook. It's an interesting introduction to Scandinavian cuisine, which is pretty different from most European food. It makes heavy use of rye, which is nice. The front matter includes A Baking Love Letter, Scandinavian Baking: An Overview, The Scandinavian Pantry, Useful Baking Equipment, Baking Best Practices, and the Table of Contents. The Index lists both ingredients and recipe titles. Also, our hardback edition has a red grosgrain ribbon in it for marking your place.

[nverland]

Jalapeno Corn Coleslaw
Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 10 mins Servings: 6

Ingredients

8 cups shredded Napa or green cabbage
3 ears fresh corn (about 2 cups worth)
1/2 large jalapeno, minced (about 1/4 cups worth)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped small (about 1/2 cups worth)
2 green onions, sliced thin (about 1/4 cups worth)

Dressing Ingredients

3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Combine the cabbage, corn, jalapeno, cilantro, and onions in a large mixing bowl.
In a smaller bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, mustard, lime juice, celery seeds, and kosher salt.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat. Serve immediately.

Notes
The coleslaw can be made in advance. However, it will release more liquid the longer it is stored in the refrigerator. You’ll want to drain off some of the excess liquid prior to tossing again and serving.
