The best Swedish cuisine starts with a touch of lagom. Meaning 'balanced' or 'just right', lagom informs the culinary traditions of Sweden: the fresh, bright ingredients in its recipes, and the rich, harmonious flavours that come together on its tables. Following the lagom philosophy, Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt has perfected classic and modern Swedish cooking alike, and in The Swedish Cookbook, he shares his best recipes from everyday meals to special feasts, showing home cook how to master it all.

These are fuss-free recipes handed down through generations, full of nourishment and sure to become family favourites. So whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting your culinary journey, it’s time to find your lagom in the kitchen and savour the delightful simplicity of Swedish cuisine.
