The difference perhaps is Trina's focus on using game and unusual fish, plus her focus on spelt, rye etc. You're welcome to borrow my copy if you're not sure you want to acquire yet another cookbook to go alongside the 500 or so you already have ;)<br /><br />@cheeky spouse thanks for your feedback - am pleased to read you're a fan of eating for the soul (a great way of putting it) as well as feeding the body. I hope Scandinavian food gets the recognition it deserves, of course I'm biased but I think it's long overdue ;)Signehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032391536696950157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246732050815826189.post-87738818144890318782010-01-23T14:07:19.662+00:002010-01-23T14:07:19.662+00:00I enjoyed reading your post and I have to agree on...I enjoyed reading your post and I have to agree on the many points you made on what makes food good.<br />Indeed, it is often not only the food itself that makes it healthy, but how it is eaten. Meal times should be beneficial to the soul as well as the body.<br />I too, am usually put off by the word 'diet' and hate all those preachy books that have us living off celery and wheatgrass juice, but Trina's new book looks utterly inspiring, so it's on my wish list. Plus I love Scandinavian food.<br />I think that Nordic cuisine is going to be (dare I say it) the trend now, although, personally, I would hope that it is more than just a fad, as it does deserve to be up there with the rest.Cheeky Spousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704918946197040587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246732050815826189.post-72046697882926306012010-01-23T10:08:33.451+00:002010-01-23T10:08:33.451+00:00I like the look of the recipes, I've already g...I like the look of the recipes, I've already got her other book and think there is some great stuff in it. Is it worth having this in addition? <br />The basic tenets don't seem specifically Nordic though aren't they simply what anyone who believes in a balanced diet, good and food and good company would list regardless of their heritage?<br />Good review :)goodshoedayhttp://www.withknifeandfork.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246732050815826189.post-36839521148841714982010-01-23T08:57:29.576+00:002010-01-23T08:57:29.576+00:00@aforkfulofspaghetti thanks Helen, I had spotted t...@aforkfulofspaghetti thanks Helen, I had spotted that link about Prue Leith, shall go read it now :) looking forward to catching up over Scandi fare next week!<br /><br />@paul finally a Brit who doesn't think we're gloomy! The Scandinavian Cookbook and Nordic Diet are both excellent investments if you're interested in Scandi food. I have yet to try making Jansson's frestelse that you blogged about some time ago. And I have the anchovies too...<br />thanks for your comment :)Signehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032391536696950157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246732050815826189.post-78387445917803299402010-01-22T19:24:41.316+00:002010-01-22T19:24:41.316+00:00V interesting wide ranging post!

I used to travel extensively in Scandinavia on business and have nearly always found Scandinavians to be excellent company (particularly the mad Icelanders).<br /><br />You're correct in that we know virtually nothing of your food - something hopefully that The Scandinavian cookbook will put right!paulhttp://www.paulscooking.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246732050815826189.post-61359766868645160642010-01-22T17:29:00.075+00:002010-01-22T17:29:00.075+00:00great review, Sig - v interested to read your thou...great review, Sig - v interested to read your thoughts on it, and on Scandi living more generally. Am pleased to see that Trina advocates eating together. Couldn't agree more, and Prue Leith is of the same opinion: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1245192/Death-family-meals-harms-health-says-school-food-guru-Prue-Leith.htmlaforkfulofspaghettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303046899595697854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246732050815826189.post-88690071520601870202010-01-22T16:35:53.737+00:002010-01-22T16:35:53.737+00:00Thanks Fran!
