Scandinavia – Gísli Egill Hrafnsson & Inga Elsa Bergþórsdóttir

A seasonal journey through Nordic kitchens, from Danish rye bread and gravlax to rhubarb meringues and skyr sorbet. Scandinavia brings together recipes and photography that explore the food, landscapes and everyday rituals of Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Sweden and Finland.

Icelandic authors Gísli Egill Hrafnsson and Inga Elsa Bergþórsdóttir draw on the cooking they share with guests at their summer guesthouse, where the vegetable garden, foraging and fishing shape what reaches the table. Their family recipes sit alongside stories of local produce, history and festivals, offering a way into Nordic life through the seasons.

One to cook from slowly, returning to strawberry and walnut cake in summer or lamb shanks with root vegetables as the days turn colder. With its sprayed edges, it also makes a thoughtful gift for someone drawn to Scandinavian food and design.
