Nordic/Scandinavian Winter Recipes

Given the nature of their northern climate, Scandinavians are good at winter.  Whether on skates, skis or snowshoes, they know how to get outside and enjoy what the season has to offer. They are also experts at coming in from the cold and preparing soul-warming foods in their cozy kitchens.

Browse dozens of Scandinavian-inspired winter recipes, from the traditional (think Easy Swedish Meatballs) to more modern, "New Nordic" interpretations of Nordic ingredients such as Creamy Barley Risotto with Roasted Mushrooms and Crispy Kale.  Get ready to explore some exciting new flavors and combinations!
