My Mother's Recipes!

Finally, Norwegian recipes just like my mother's. Perhaps it's because the author is from Oslo and so is my mom but I was so thrilled to see the food we grew up with in this book. This weekend I made the yellow pea soup and, of all the recipes I found online, this was the only one calling for whole yellow peas, which is what we used in my house. We always had Lompa, not lefse. This book has lefse recipes AND a lompa recipe. Another, Sandkake. Everybody wants to grind almonds into the batter but not in my house nor in this book. We lost our dear mother a few months ago and now more than ever I regret not learning more from her and this book is the next best thing. Thank you!

Good old fashioned Norwegian cooking

This book contains many of the traditional recipres my grandmother made when I was young. When she died her cookbook disappeared-this is a very suitable replacement. I highly recommend this book looking to rediscover their Norwegian roots.

Authentic Norwegian Cooking

This is a great book. My grandmother, who came from Norway says it is the best she's seen for authenticity!! Great Great.

Wonderful

My husband is Norwegian and I am Irish and Italian. We were at Epcot Center and stopped in Norway and had some lunch. Well, we enjoyed it so much that we purchaed the cookbook. The food in this cookbook brings back memories of his childhood. I would recommend this to anyone.
