For Danish Appetites Cook Book

Note: This edition of For Danish Appetites Cook Book has been updated to include Metric equivalents.


For Danish Appetites Cook Book reflects the culture of Solvang, California, a Danish community in Santa Barbara county, northwest of Los Angeles, founded by Danish immigrants early in the 20th century. The city is home to a number of bakeries, restaurants, and merchants offering a taste of Denmark in California.


It contains chapters on Danish pastry, cookies, cakes, pancakes (æbleskiver), meats, fish, soup, sauces and gravies, vegetables, salads, desserts, pickles and Smørrebrød (fancy butter sandwiches).


The recipes in this book have been collected over a period of years by the author. All of them are dear to the heart of a Danish immigrant who brought this little bit of her homeland with her to the new country and all of them were donated to this book as something precious from the giver.
