Vintage Food: Hakon's Cook Book

How about some vintage food? Some Swedish vintage food? OK, but if I mention the recipes were composed (so they say) by the Swedish king's chef monsieur Paul Arbin! Any better? The color images from this cook book are really great and they are here: Hakons kokbok

And for no extra cost here's a recipe for veal kidney canapé (click for larger):






Oh. Sorry, didn't I tell you it was in Swedish?! Heck! Use one of those fancy-schmanzy online translator things! There will be more of these recipes later on so get used to it!! Ya lazy bum!

Det finska köket

Finland slår tillbaka i matkriget (SvD)

Kalakukko is traditional Savonian food made out of fish baked inside a bread. Cornish pastry in Cornwall has the same basic idea of packed lunch.

Traditionally, Kalakukko is prepared with rye flour, although wheat is often added to make the dough more pliable. The filling consists of fish, pork and green bacon, and is flavoured with dill and salt (unless the pork is already salted). After being baked for several hours, kalakukko looks much like a large loaf of rye bread, although the name implies that it is somehow supposed to look like a rooster. If prepared correctly, kalakukko will keep for a long time. The appropriate drink to accompany kalakukko is buttermilk or piimä.

The modern society finds the name somewhat amusing, as "Kala" is Finnish for "fish" and "kukko" is Finnish for "rooster". However, the old meaning for Kukko is also connected to hiding things, as in 'kukkaro' (purse).
