Description: The Finnish Cookbook Author: Beatrice Ojakangas Title: The Finnish Cookbook Publication: 105: Crown, 1974 Description: Hardcover. 400 old-country recipes including delicious baked goods, pasties, vegetable pancakes, fish, sausages, and the sensational coffee tableText in English. 250 pp. Few stains and slight wear on the dust jacket. Slightly worn and stained covers.Finland is one of the world's great (and least-known) culinary crossroads; for generations the famed cuisines of Scandinavia and of old Russia have flourished side by side in Finland, each contributing to the other and combining to produce uniquely Finnish dishes. 'The Finnish Cookbook' is the only volume completely devoted to Finnish cookery adapted to American usage. In this unusual book, the latest addition to the International Cook Book Series, Beatrice Oiakangas supplies tempting and exotic recipes for all sorts of dishes. There are pasties and pastries from special regions such as Karelia in Eastern Finland and dairy-rich dishes from the western provinces as well as a wide range of popular foods served in Finnish homes and restaurants.Bread is unquestionably the mainstay of any Finnish meal (sour rye-Ruisleipa-is one of the most popular), and there are fourteen different kinds described. As most vegetables are scarce in this northern country, the Finns show great ingenuity in using the potato in soups, broths, stews, and other dishes. Fish is a prime ingredient of Finnish meals (fresh-water from eastern and saltwater from western provinces), and three of the most tasty recipes in this collection are Fish in a Crust, Glass Master's Herring, and Cobbler's Salmon, Here too are meats, all sorts of casseroles, and "breakfast cheeses", along with fruit soups, which are served as dessert. But since it is almost a national law that no guest leave a Finnish home without being offered coffee and something to "go with" -and the hostess would be hurt if it were declined-Beatrice Ojakangas gives particular attention to the delicacies of the coffee table, including recipes for Coffee Triangles, Saffron Rings, Bishop's Pepper Cookies, with many, many more for both cookies and cakes. For the bread-and-butter table (voileipäpöytä, to the Finns) the author gives an exciting variety of the many succulent dishes which can grace this Finnish version of the smörgasbord Be sure to sample Karelian Rice Piirakkaa, Pickled Fish Rolls, and Meat-Cabbage Casserole! It is a rich and rewarding fare Mrs. Oiakangas offers, with imaginative variations of the prime dishes she describes. Very Good / Very Good.
