Tero Kallio
Tero Kallio and Kimmo Saira are the authors of two cookbooks previously published only in Finnish. They both reside in Helsinki.
Delicious and easy-to-prepare Scandinavian recipes for every season of the year, presented in stunning color photographs. Simply Scandinavian presents modern takes on traditional Scandinavian recipes, combining time-tested Finnish food preparation with 21st-century taste. The recipes for appetizers, main courses, and desserts are organized by time of year—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
The authors have arranged the book to take the reader through a year of Scandinavian recipes, pairing gorgeous four-color photographs of Finland’s landscape—from the archipelago in the south to the harsh wilderness of Lapland far to the north—with food photography that will make your mouth water.
Many of the recipes open-mindedly integrate the past and the present, such as the recipe for rye cannelloni served in consommé; it contains a pinch of hard times in Finland, a dash of modern universal cooking, and a smidgeon of national romanticism. The shape comes from Italy, the filling from a Finnish meat pie, and the dough from the Karelian pastry from eastern Finland.
