The Scandinavians excel in comfort – family, friends, a good atmosphere, long meals, relaxation and an emphasis on simple pleasures. They even have a word for this kind of cosiness that comes with spending quality time in hearth and home when the days are short: hygge. Trine Hahnemann is the doyenne of Scandinavian cooking and loves nothing more than spending time in her kitchen cooking up comforting food in good company. This is her collection of recipes that will warm you up and teach you to embrace the art of hygge, no matter where you live.

The scent of sugar cookies baking, the sweet sound of children singing carols, a crackling fire in the fireplace...these are some of our favorite comforts at Christmas, and we can't wait until it's that time again! For Christmas Comfort Foods, we've gathered scrumptious recipes for all occasions. Invite friends to a holiday brunch, with Spinach & Swiss Quiche and Pineapple-Nut Coffee Cake on the buffet...yum! Or host an afternoon open house, serving up delicious Brown Sugar Sausages, Roasted Red Pepper Dip and everyone's favorite, Classic Party Mix. For busy weeknights, you'll find warm and hearty dishes like Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry, Aunt Barb's Pizza Casserole and Easy Turkey Tacos. Slow-Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup is perfect for taking the chill off on a frosty day. And for special family gatherings, a menu of Braised Pork Roast with Onion Gravy, Grandma Miller’s Waldorf Salad and Mom's Baked Corn will help you create happy memories together. Sweets are what we really look forward to at Christmas, though! Tie on your apron and bake up a batch of German Chocolate Brownies, Coconut Macaroons or jam-filled Thumbprint Cookies. Gram’s Gingerbread & Pear Cobbler and Warm Winter Lemon Cake are special enough for holiday dinners, yet easy enough for weeknights. What are you waiting for? We've included easy-to-follow directions using familiar ingredients, plus tips for every holiday occasion and a collection of sweet Christmas memories.
