Strawberry cake and wreaths of flowers and sitting around the campfire together: These are just a few of the “ingredients” for a Swedish family celebration in the countryside, as Sina Kaiser knows. The travel blogger (Nordlandfieber), who often travels to Scandinavia, has collected traditions and recipes from the far north in a new book.
Summer festivals like in Sweden
“Not everyone in Sweden lives in an idyllic red wooden house with a charming flower meadow in front of the door, but at the summer solstice most people are drawn out into nature. Friends, family and relatives get together and celebrate.”
But it doesn’t have to be so time-bound: From wreath weaving to apple dipping to uncomplicated banquets, the gift book contains numerous recipes, games and DIY instructions for enjoying the summer and making yourself comfortable in nature with your loved ones.
