A big part of these celebrations and occasions is Christmas food. There are many traditional Norwegian Christmas foods which are influenced by Norway’s long history and rural nature.

Author’s Note

This book is a selection of modern and traditional Norwegian Christmas recipes. The ingredients and utensils needed for cooking the dishes should be readily available. Some specialist items will be needed. For example the classic Norwegian Christmas dish of lamb ribs entails drying the ribs for several weeks. A more convenient way of cooking the dish is to buy the ready dried ribs. The Norwegian cake Krumkake uses a specialist tool – a Krumkake iron – to cook. Also cloudberry jam may not be available in usual retail outlets.
