From spring picnics on the archipelago and barbecues at the summer cabin, to cozy autumnal suppers and dark snowy winters filled with candlelight, gingerbread and glögg, Rachel's new cookbook lets you in on what the Swedish like to call Lagom—the art of not too little, not too much but just the right amount. Learn how to cook beautiful, fuss-free food. With over 100 recipes, Rachel explores Sweden's simple and balanced approach to cooking. Dishes include Poached Chicken with Quick Pickled Strawberry Salad—or replace the chicken with grilled halloumi cheese for a delicious vegetarian alternative; Peas Potatoes and Chicken in a Pot, a one-dish delight; Midsummer Meringue Crowns—Swedes wear flowered crowns for Midsummer, so try making an edible kind for parties; and Plum Tosca Cake—named after Puccini's opera, this cake is filled with tart plums and sweet almonds. Includes metric measures.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After graduating from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London, a passion for pâtisserie lured Rachel Khoo to Paris, where she obtained a pastry diploma from Le Cordon Bleu cookery school.

Before long, she was travelling the world, working on culinary projects for clients large and small

and hosting cooking workshops in locations as far-flung as London, Paris, Milan, Sydney and Buenos Aires, while also developing her career as a food writer. This led to number-one bestseller The Little Paris Kitchen, which was published by Penguin in 2012 and translated into thirteen languages. The accompanying BBC2 TV cookery series turned Rachel into a household name, not just in the UK but also in the many other countries in which it aired, including Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong and the USA. Rachel has presented several subsequent cookery series for BBC Worldwide, and regularly writes recipes for the London Evening Standard, The Times and the Guardian, among other publications, as well as consulting for hotels, restaurants and blue-chip clients. Her popular website, Khoollect, is an online community of food and lifestyle inspiration, with a newly opened creative studio and workshop space based in London. In 2016 Rachel moved to Sweden, where she now lives with her Swedish husband and their baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swedish food made easy
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018
I've been a huge fan of Rachel for years and an even bigger fan of Swedish culture since childhood. I got the printed copy of this book from Amazon UK. This book is another culinary journey that is similar to her earlier books on French cooking. It's not an entire compilation of Sweden but does have certain dishes that are unique to certain regions.

So far, I've only made two recipes. I made a variation of the Västerbotten pie (sort of like a cheese quiche with onion and chanterelle mushrooms) with mature cheddar because the västerbotten (a Swedish cheese) was impossible to locate. It's a good recipe and wasn't difficult to make. The roasted butternut squash waffles sounded unusual but were actually pretty good. The only con I found was that the squash makes the waffles a bit squishy. They weren't crispy waffles but it was an interesting take on waffles. The recipe uses fresh butternut squash (that is roasted and then pureed) and doesn't give instructions on a canned equivalent. I used canned squash and the recipe was fine.

There are 4 sections in the book for each season. The layout is more user friendly because I think it's easier to cook based on what's in season. The book is pretty salad heavy. There are lots of "bun" recipes (cardamon buns, black pudding, apple and cheese, St. Lucia etc.) . Of course, there's a recipe or two for meatballs. Unlike her previous books, there are quite a lot of vegetarian and gluten free recipes. I am not the latter but do appreciate meat free dishes once in awhile. My only complaint so far is that I would have liked a source list. The book doesn't call for many ingredients that would be difficult to find (maybe except for Swedish caviar, västerbotten or knäckebröd, a type of cracker) but I wanted to have some recommendations of what to buy online since I don't live in Sweden.

I think it's too early to tell how high this cookbook will rank on my list of Rachel's books ("The Little Paris Kitchen" remains my favorite out of all 6 of her books.) but I do think it's a good intro to Swedish food for an English-speaking audience. The writing style feels very warm and personal with insights into her home life in Stockholm and new family. I think this book is less commercial than her last cookbook and it lacks her classic illustrations so if you're a fan like me you'll be missing those.

EDIT NOVEMBER 2018: I have upgrade my original review from 4 stars to 5 after trying a few more recipes. I made the plum tosca cake (like an upside down cake with toasted nuts on top) and coconut macaroons with melted dark chocolate that were both very easy. I don't think the recipes I've tried are complicated for new cooks and most of the ingredients are pretty easy to find.

3.0 out of 5 stars No dust jacket, weak spine - Wonderful recipes.
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2019

The content of Rachel Khoo's new cookbook looks wonderfully delicious. However, the hard cover book does not come with a dust jacket and the spine of the books seems weak. I don't expect that it will last as long the other 4 Rachel Khoo cookbooks I own. All of those came with a dust jacket and have solid bindings. The publisher is the same, so I think that Penguin is trying to cut corners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming (and yummy!)
Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2019
Verified Purchase
Charming, and full of interesting recipes that shift the focus slightly from traditional Scandi fare to Ms. Khoo's well researched, personalized take on things. If you loved her Little French Kitchen, this should be next on the list.

I've been on a 'Scandinavian food' jag lately, thanks to the PBS series New Scandinavian Cooking, and am starting to get a sense of different kinds of cookbooks/authors. Khoo's book was not my first purchase in this genre, but is so lovely and the recipes tasty and relatively simple--for purists, maybe start with Claus Meyer or Simon Bajada. Khoo's Little Swedish Kitchen could easily be a great gateway to anyone who wants to delve into the stylish, spare, but still cozy niche of Scandinavian cookery from the perspective of a 'transplant' food lover who is clearly thriving in her new environment. A beautiful and useful addition to the cook's library.

The Swedes do not mess around, the food is in keeping with the seasons and their way of eating. It has recipes for vegetarian and foraged ingredients. Other than food it is an insight into Swedes way of being. An attractive books on good paper.
