Trine Hahnemann’s Scandinavian Christmas
Christmas came early for me this year, with Trine Hahnemann’s Scandinavian Christmas to celebrate the launch of her book of the same name at Food at 52 in London.

The food was wonderful. Lightly cured cod with slow baked celeriac started us off. The main course was a terrific roast pork (with lots of crackling), caramel potatoes (new to me but I am hooked) and lots of gravy. Red cabbage and a lovely kale and pomegranate salad were served on the side.

Dessert was rice pudding but not as we know it, lovely crunchy rice bathed in lots of whipped cream with cherries served on top. Fabulous.
All of the recipes are in Trine’s new book, Scandinavian Christmas. It is absolutely gorgeous, and I think we will be cooking from it for our Christmas dinner this year. If you are new to Trine’s work, I heartily recommend her two previous books The Scandinavian Cookbook and The Nordic Diet. Trine is an inspired and creative cook, and her books are full of deliciousness.

Next February I will be travelling to Denmark to do a pop up with Trine – more details soon.

Lovely post and the food looks wonderful! Have just written about Trine Hahnemann on my blog http://www.shabbychick.me.uk/2013/01/10/orange-pickled-herrings-ruis-bread-and-kale-salad-celebrating-hygge-with-trine-hahnemann/ and am feeling a little bit obsessed by Scandinavian food. There are so many delicious but healthy recipes to try. Really look forward to hearing about your February pop-up with Trine.
Hi Andrea, we have had to postpone the pop up as we are both too busy but we are definitely still doing it :)
