Helle Siggerud

40 garments inspired by Norwegian traditions In this wonderful knitting book, Helle Siggerud has been inspired by costume traditions and folklore from all over Norway. She has traveled far and wide and immersed herself in Norwegian patterns; used in knitting, weaving, embroidery and wallpaper; and has transformed it into beautiful knitwear. Helle is famous for her figure-hugging garments, good cuts and snappy details. And you'll find all that here. The book features mostly women's garments, but there are also great designs for men and children – and for dogs! The book is divided according to Norway's five regions; North, East, South, West, and Central Norway; with each section containing interesting stories about patterns, cuts and textiles. Knit something from your favorite region, or just go with what you find most appealing. There are instructions for over 40 beautiful knitwear designs in the book, among them you'll find coats, sweaters, tops, vests, skirts, bags and accessories. The garments are as equally suited for everyday wear as they are for a party. The images, elegantly photographed by Eivind Røhne, show the garments styled both for urban use and as party suits in more national romantic surroundings. Maybe you'll find yourself driven to make your own costume. At the back of the book we've included a guide to sewing a simple women's national-costume. A beautiful and exciting book; that'll perhaps inspire you to be just like Helle, who knits day and night, creating classic timeless garments.

Everyone Can Bake

Elin Vatnar Nilsen

In Everyone can Bake, confectioner and blogger Elin Vatnar Nilsen shows you how to make all the classic nordic treats – from birthday cream cake to pavlova, chocolate cake, kringle and Kvæfjord cake. The book covers the nine basic recipes that any cake baker must know. Here, you'll learn about sponge, custard, form cakes, profiteroles, pastries, meringue, sweet yeast dough, nut base, cheesecakes and chocolate cakes.Each basic recipe is assigned its own chapter, with thorough descriptions and step­by­step photos, in addition to several recipes that are based on the basic recipes and develop them further. Between the chapters you'll find fact pages with information that's useful no matter what you're baking – about eggs, sugar, yeast, flour, cream, butter, chocolate, leaveners and spices, as well as a decoration school of its own!Everyone can Bake is unpretentious and simple enough for everyone to understand, but also sufficiently advanced and challenging for more seasoned pastry makers.‘In my view this is one of the best books about baking that has ever been published in Norway, and it holds it´s own against many of my english languaged baking cookbooks. I suggest that the publishers contact a good translator as soon as possible, translate it to English, put a sticker on it saying "Nordic Treats" and then watch the book ride the nordic wave to the top of the charts.’ HOBBYKOKKEN.NO
