I first fell in love with Tina Nordström's cooking 2 years ago when I found her show, New Scandinavian Cooking, on public television. In this series Tina travels all over Sweden, preparing regional foods while she travels, and often cooking outdoors against the stunning backdrop of the Swedish countryside.Tina's recipes are simple and elegant, and feature ingredients that we don't often use in the US (but should!), like cloudberries, elderflower, herring, fennel and vodka.
Although the show no longer airs in my area, you can purchase the DVD of all of Tina's episodes on the show's website, as well as her cookbook, A Culinary Tour of Sweden. Most of the recipes from her shows are also listed on the website, including her recipes for Dill Schnapps, Cloudberry Zabaglione and Royal Swedish Meatballs.If you ever happen to see New Scandinavian Cooking pop up while you're channel surfing, check it out... Tina will win you over with her amazing smile in mere moments!

Based on the flower wreath in her hair, I'd say I love her already! Thanks for sharing Em, always looking for new cookbooks!
Well, thanks for your comment on my blog! So nice to know that SOMEONE outside my immediate circle is actually reading my musings. I love your blog too! Inspires me to do more with my own now that fall has arrived and I'll be less busy on the weekends! And I loved watching this show on PBS too a couple of years back. The preparations always looked so fresh, simple, and delicious!
