Vintage Cookbook- Scandinavian recipes

Oh this was a good find.

My Grandma’s parents migrated here from Norway would always bake some amazing treats and meals during her childhood and I noticed many of them in this vintage cookbook, plus some I have never heard of before.

Grandma has since passed and she left many fond memories for me… all centered around baking and cooking.

I’ll share some pages over the next few days.

If you want lutefisk recipe there are about 4 in this book!
