Scandinavian Christmas

Scandinavian Christmas

Victoria Dam

Dark green wreaths and Christmas red fruits. Green pizza on the barbecue and orange garlands in the window. Angels made of icing on the tree and breaded Christmas ham on the table. And of course, a gingerbread house in the windowsill. For garden designer and interior design enthusiast Victoria Dam, creativity rises when Christmas approaches. It begins with homemade advent décor, flower arrangements and ornate candles. It continues with edible Christmas ornaments and presents, hot drinks and spiced baked goods. Before it all ends with an abounding table of Christmas foods and, a little later, a tempting table for New Year’s Eve. And like the photographs of Victoria and her twin daughters will show you, many of these activities can be done together with children. In this extensive, inspirational book of ideas and recipes, gorgeously photographed, Victoria Dam shares everything that makes Christmas a cozy and evocative time for the whole family.
