Fantastically Finnish: Recipes and Traditions

Rating:
Summary: Finnish history, traditions and recipes
Review: This beautiful book includes Finnish communities from Florida to Minnesota and Michigan to Thunder Bay, Ontario. People from many states contributed the traditional Finnish recipes. The recipes are edited by Beatrice Ojakangas, nationally known food editor and writer from Duluth, Minnesota. The wife of the former Finnish ambassador to the U.S. contributed several recipes.

The colorful covers show Finland State Forest in northeastern Minnesota and a Finnish-American child in a Lapp costume. The inside covers show scenes of Minnesota's Voyageur National Park, an area settled by Finns, resembling Finland's lake country. The Finnish embassy dining room in Washington D.C. and Finnish Canadians in full costume are shown.

About 20 pages of articles detail the history and traditions of Finland and sites of Finnish interest in America and Canada to visit.

Finnish Americans and Finnish Canadians assisted in the editorial preparation of this soft-cover book.
