Description
Celebrate the season Scandinavian-style with a festive collection of recipes perfect for holiday entertaining. In this online cook-along class, Kristi will prepare two traditional Nordic holiday beverages, a classic Red Gløgg and a festive White Gløgg, along with elegant Blue Cheese and Pear Smørrebrød Appetizers and crisp Pepparkakor Cut-out Cookies.
Along the way, we'll explore Scandinavian Christmas traditions and discuss simple ways to create a warm and welcoming holiday gathering inspired by the Nordic countries. We'll also talk about how to assemble an easy Scandinavian-inspired gathering board featuring cheeses, crispbreads, preserves, nuts, and other festive accompaniments that pair beautifully with gløgg and holiday treats.
Students will cook along from their own kitchens and leave with a collection of festive recipes, practical entertaining ideas, and plenty of inspiration for celebrating the holidays with Scandinavian flair.
