Swedish Summer Feasts: Favorite Recipes for Picnics, Brunches, and Barbecues by the Beach

Each summer, three sisters and their families meet at their summer cottage by the coast of Sweden. There ensue glorious, lazy days of relaxation by the water and cooking light, rustic meals to eat by the light of the fading sun. There’s something special about Swedish summers: the late evenings, the vast empty beaches, and the need to enjoy every minute because the darkest nights are right around the corner.

Food is naturally one of the highlights of the summer vacation, and in Swedish Summer Feasts, the sisters and their families share their favorite recipes and moments. Picnics by the beach, long barbecues in the evening, brunches that last all day, baking in the rain, parties, drinks, and snacks.

Swedish Summer Feasts serves up recipes and inspiration for all the days of the summer. Whether you’re at the beach house or dreaming to be, the flavors of the seasonal ingredients, the atmospheric photos, and the times you’ll have enjoying these dishes will make this a summer to remember forever.
