Scandinavia is a region of extremes-where effortlessly chic design meets rugged wilderness, and perpetual winter nights are followed by endless days of summer-and Fire and Ice proves that Scandinavian cuisine is no exception. Founding editor of Gastronomica and the West's leading culinary authority on the cuisines of the European North, Darra Goldstein explores the rich cultural history and culinary traditions of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
