Many Thanks to
My friends and family who provided encouragement, recipes, recipe
testing, and many memorable meals to bring A Swedish Family
Cookbook from an idea to the bookshelf. is never would have
happened without you.
Special thanks to my Swedish family: Bengt Jansson – for
the guided tour of Sweden, recipe translations, Gravlax
video, superior kitchen skills, and enthusiasm, and to
Gunilla Pettersson, and Inger Jansson who shared their
homes, family stories and recipes, and days of amazing
cooking.
And thanks to all my Sous Chefs who enthusiastically
tested each recipe and hosted laughter-filled meals to test and
review – your friendship is cooked into every page. I know
I’m forgetting some of you but for starters (alphabetically) –
Dale Micek, Anne O’Malley, Kay Porsche, Dolores Siok,
Dorothy Stephenson, Ann Teri, Karen Zrout, and all my
friends who sat at the table and provided invaluable taste-
testing.
is endeavor has truly been the work of a village.
anks to Lynn Fischer, a generous, multi-faceted cookbook
author and TV personality who helped lead the way with her
advice and encouragement. And to Margie Kessler and
Christina Sanes, my Bonita cheerleaders and Chief
Marketing Officers, thanks for your spirit and high
expectations. I can never fully express my appreciation for
everyone’s support and, most of all, for your friendship. I
promise to deliver cookies whenever the cookie jar is low.
