Illus. throughout with color photographs. 11.75x10.25", pictorial boards. First Edition in English. West Germany: Druckerei Kraft-Schlotels, 1987.

An exploration of the high-end cooking and gastronomy of the Arctic areas of Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Recipes include forage-able foods like Arctic berries and herbs, elk, reindeer, water birds, fish, etc. An early example of the pioneering celebration of local cuisine in Scandinavia, which had previously leaned on classic French cuisine as examples of fine dining. Rubbing to corners, else very good.
