The Swedish Table

Although I never physically fit in . . . being the sole tall, awkward African American among a sea of beautiful blonde, blue eyed Swedes,
it was my home. When I tasted the first potato of the summer, just dug out of the ground, or when I picked the first ripe cloudberry
and popped it in my mouth, or when I took in the scent of seawater and we grilled salmon just off the boat, it didn't matter what I looked like - I was Swedish. I was home, and I did belong.

Helene Henderson Drawing on her fondest childhood memories, Helene Henderson offers welcome insight into the treasures of Swedish cooking.

From the potato, a Swedish staple, to dessert, the start of Swedish cuisine, The Swedish Table contains more than 125 recipes,
including Yellow Pea Soup with Bacon (Artsoppa), Lentil Salad with Radishes (Linssallad), Aquavit and Dill Marinated Salmon (Gravlax),
Swedish Meatballs with Gravy (Kottbullar), and the country's traditional pastry, Bulla.

Encompassing both traditional Swedish dishes and modern, updated recipes, Henderson combines the ingredients and scents from
the past with the produce and flavor of today.

The Swedish Table includes an extensive guide to Swedish traditions and celebrations, the foods that accompany them,
and a color gallery of photos. With this complete collection of elegant yet easy-to-follow recipes,
Henderson takes us on an enticing tour through the magic of the forest, the lakes
, and the farms of the Swedish countryside.

Back to Cookie Recipes





I remember getting excited whenever we would get a box of Velveeta because that meant we would be getting one of Moms refrigerator cookie recipes.

She would always put the refrigerator cookies in the Velveeta boxes in the refrigerator.

Probably a use for those boxes that we would never even think of today. It, of course, makes the cookies square,
which allows for easier packing into containers.

It also means that you do not have to mess with trying to get the cookies into a perfect roll.

Also no danger of the kids putting something on top of the cookies and smashing them.
I always liked coconut so the oatmeal refrigerator cookie recipe was one of my favorites.



Oatmeal Refrigerator Cookies

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 beaten eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup nuts
1/2 cup coconut
Cream together the sugars and the shortening in a large bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla to the creamed mixture.

Sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt) into the creamed mixture. Mix in the oatmeal, nuts, and coconut. Put wax paper or plastic wrap into Velveeta boxes and push the cookie mixture into the boxes.

Refrigerate the cookies overnight.

The next day take the refrigerator cookies out and slice them (about 1/8 inch thick).
Then place the cookies on cookie sheets and bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes.



Peanut Butter Refrigerator Cookies

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup evaporated milk

Mix together the butter and peanut butter in a large bowl. Add the brown sugar to this mixture. Add in the egg and mix well. Alternate adding the dry ingredients (flour, salt, and baking soda) with the evaporated milk.

Put wax paper or plastic wrap into Velveeta boxes and push the cookie mixture into the boxes. Refrigerate the cookies overnight.

The next day take the refrigerator cookies out and slice them (about 1/8 inch thick).
Then place the cookies on cookie sheets and bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes.

If you work outside of the home, this is a great cookie recipe to throw together on Friday night. Then you can have a fun time baking the cookies with your kids on Saturday.
