Scandinavian Baking: Loving Baking at Home - Hardcover

'The leading authority on Scandinavian baking with authentic recipes with a modern twist, shot on location in Scandinavia. The book is suffused with "hygge" I'm told, a Danish word meaning cosiness, or relaxing with friends over good food and drink.' --The Booksellers Buyer's Guide, 1 August 2014

'Written by Trine Hahnemann, Scandinavian Baking is both comprehensive and appetite-inducing. There'll be a lot of rye-flour in my kitchen this autumn.' --Saga Magazine, 1 October 2014

'In the book, Hahnemann teaches us how we can fit the making of bread into our busy lives, without compromising on quality. And then there's the sweet baking, with a recipe for every kind of Danish pastry you could ever wish for, a cookie for every occasion, and mouth-watering layer cakes, coffee cakes and cream buns.' --Bristol Post {Weekend}, 7 November 2014

'If your knowledge of Scandinavian Baking ends with Danish pastries, this lovely hardback will be a treat.' --The Age (Australia), 4 November 2014

'A book that evokes a world of steamed-uo kitchen windows looking out across blankets of snow, Hahnemann recalls family Christmases past, and revisits festive recipes handed down through the generations...this is a veritable smorgasbord of a cookbook.' --Crumbs, 25 December 2014

'For anyone whose baking may have hit a rut, or who is more interested in producing healthy loaves than confections overloaded with sugar and butter, this will open up a host of new possibilities.' -- The Sunday Times Ireland, 7 December 2014

'Scandinavian Baking by Trine Hahnemann is an approachable feast of sweet-pastry dough, topped off with cardamom, spiced apple and fennel...the recipes are wonderfully clear and, if you follow them properly, the results are stunning.' --The Guardian, 6 December 2014

Scandinavian cooking is, like its telly, having its moment and Trine Hahnemann's Scandinavian Baking is a really good baking book. It reflects a rich cake-and-bread culture - lots of marzipan, rye and spelt flour - beyond Danish pastries. Love it.'--Evening Standard (London), 11 December

'Cakes, cookies, cream buns: it is all here from Trine Hahnemann, OFM regular and queen of Nordic cookery writing. A definitive guide to the delights of living in a part of the world still obsessed with bread and pastries.'--The Observer (Food Monthly), 14 December 2014

There are more than 100 authentic recipes, with plenty of innovative ideas for keen bakers eager to expand their repetoire.' --BBC Good Food Magazine, 1 December 2014
