In the heart of a rustic country house, with its log-walled kitchen, a mother and daughter share a deep, enduring love for food. Once Upon a Country Kitchen is a celebration of food in its purest form, born from this familial bond.
Leena, a retired farmer, mastered cooking at a time when convenience foods were unheard of, and the most exotic ingredient in her village was pearl rice. Her daughter, Anna, grew up when the world’s flavors were just a step away—where fresh produce and international ingredients turned every meal into a global adventure.
Together, in the quiet of their Nordic kitchen, they return to the roots of farmhouse cooking, embracing traditions passed down through generations of women who crafted meals from scratch. Amidst a fast-paced world, they remind us of the power of simple, authentic cooking—where hands knead dough, and salt brings out the true essence of flavors. This beautiful cookbook not only offers heartwarming recipes but also tells the story of two women’s shared culinary journey.
