Recipes and Stories From Scandinavia

Eat Copenhagen

A collection of recipes from an effortlessly stylish city, interspersed with stories that set the culinary scene&#160;of&#160;the Danish capital. 
 
 From the chic restaurants of Vesterbro to the buzzing streets of N&oslash;rrebro, eating in Copenhagen is quite unlike dining anywhere else in the world. Known for its innovation, the city&rsquo;s calming vibe draws people from everywhere, and for good reason. 
 
Eat Copenhagen explores the feel and the taste of Copenhagen through the recipes &ndash; from early morning Cardamom Buns and&#160;Cinnamon Kringles to Christmassy Gl&oslash;gg,&#160;Honey Bombs and Hot Chocolate, through&#160;sm&oslash;rrebr&oslash;ds&#160;and&#160;Scandi-style salads for summer&#160;&ndash; and interwoven stories of the city &ndash; the caf&eacute;s and konditori, the markets and restaurants &ndash; so you can enjoy a little moment of hygge&#160;from home.&#160;
