Book Review Swedish Cakes and Cookies

Another book to come across my desk recently is the “Swedish Cakes and Cookies” cookbook, translated into English by Melody Favish, published by Skyhorse Publishing Inc.

I love to bake and this book inspires with drool-worthy photos of familiar Swedish baked goods like Danish Pastry Twists (danishes) and Checkerboard Cookies to yummy Arrak Balls and Margareta’s Spicy Rusks.

More than just a collection of recipes, this super useful book includes tips and alternatives for gluten free cakes and cookes, as well as photo step-by-step for making yeasted dough and puff pastry.

Flipping through the recipes makes me long for Christmas cookie exchanges and it’s only May!
