Publication date: 1960
Edition: First
‘This is a book for people with more imagination than money.’
A gorgeous and lively collection of Finnish recipes, ‘adapted for the English home’.
The Finns have found a hundred different ways of making puddings and sweet dishes attractive to children — satisfying and sustaining in the bitter cold of the Arctic winter, appetising during the short hot summer.
Peggie Benton has given the recipes a background of lakes and pine forests, of midnight sunshine and ancient legends. Like the author, everyone who is tied to the stove sometimes longs to escape, and in a sense this is an escapist book, but as down-to-earth as a tunnel under the barbed wire.
