From the North: A Simple and Modern Approach to Authentic Nordic Cooking by Katrin Bjork celebrates the classic dishes of Nordic countries, while making them more accessible and approachable for the rest of the world.

Katrín was born in Iceland, moved to Denmark to study photography and ended up living there for 14 years. Now she resides in New York where she writes the blog, Modern Wifestyle.

Katrín includes recipes for basic staples including Blueberry jam, Smoked butter, and Sourdough starter. A few other examples include Skyr cake, which highlights traditional Icelandic yogurt and a crust of fresh fruit and nuts and looks super easy and delicious and Danish crackling pork with sugar-glazed potatoes for the ultimate meat and potatoes dinner with a touch of sweetness.
 
The author was the photographer for this title and her photos are elegant and inspiring. I have her Brussels sprouts with smoked butter and sage, Reindeer meatballs with mushrooms (I'll use beef), and Crushed potatoes with horseradish and duck fat on the menu this week and will report back. We finally moved this weekend and I hope I can find all my spices to pull this dinner off.
