Review Quotes:
"If I get lost in the woods one day, I hope I stumble upon Niklas Ekstedt. He could charm a bear, and he cooks like a Swedish one with a Michelin star." --Financial Times
"[Ekstedt] is both a purist and a tinkerer. . . He carries on with typical Swedish humility, not chasing stars or lists, but committing night after night to purity, history, and heritage. To delivering pleasure and honoring his ancestry." --Forbes "Ekstedt, 44, is a Swedish national treasure, in part for his championing of Nordic cuisine, his growing restaurant empire, and his mastery of open-fire cookery. But also, surely, for his easy charm, rugged good looks, and embodiment of a very Scandinavian vein of gung-ho." --Esquire "I love Niklas' cooking and in his new book he showcases simple, honest Swedish home cooking with his creative slant. I want to cook and eat everything immediately!" --Ben Tish, author of Mediterra "A delicious collection of recipes served with Niklas' trademark warmth and Scandi flair." --Matt Tebbutt, Chef and presenter of Saturday Kitchen and MasterChef: The Professionals "Niklas has always been a master of flame and flavor, but this book shows where that fire truly comes from. Here, he opens the door to the food culture that shaped him, the forests, cold waters, and quiet craft of Swedish cooking. It's generous, passionate and deeply practical. Whether you're new to Nordic flavors or already love his cooking, this is a book that will change the way you think about simple ingredients and how you bring them to the table." --Donal Skehan, author of Donal's Real Time Recipes "Niklas Ekstedt is a chef, and an exceptionally good one, but a better description may be alchemist... His cooking is as much about philosophy as it is flavor. This incredible book delivers the message of both." --GQ Magazine, on Ekstedt "The Swedish cookbook that's about to set your world-OK, your dinner-on fire." --Esquire, on Food on Fire "[Ekstedt's] passion is contagious . . . This is a book for the enthusiast and it will not disappoint." --The Caterer, on Ekstedt
