The best Swedish cuisine starts with a touch of lagom. Meaning 'balanced' or 'just right', lagom informs the culinary traditions of Sweden: the fresh, bright ingredients in its recipes, and the rich, harmonious flavours that come together on its tables. Following the lagom philosophy, Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt has perfected classic and modern Swedish cooking alike, and in The Swedish Cookbook, he shares his best recipes from everyday meals to special feasts, showing home cook how to master it all.
These are fuss-free recipes handed down through generations, full of nourishment and sure to become family favourites. So whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting your culinary journey, it’s time to find your lagom in the kitchen and savour the delightful simplicity of Swedish cuisine.
Niklas Ekstedt is a Michelin-star chef, restaurateur and presenter. He opened his first two restaurants in his early twenties and was soon hosting his first cooking show Mat (‘food’ in Swedish) on Swedish national television. Before long, Niklas was drawn back to his Scandinavian roots as he spent a summer experimenting with traditional methods of cooking over fire – and from here, there was no going back.
In 2011, he opened ‘Ekstedt’ in Stockholm, where traditional techniques meet bold creativity and every dish is cooked over open flames. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in 2013 and has held one ever since. Niklas opened his first international outpost, ‘Ekstedt at The Yard’, in London in 2021 to great critical acclaim.
Niklas has appeared on UK TV screens as a guest on Saturday Kitchen, MasterChef and Channel 4 series Crazy Delicious. Niklas has authored several cookbooks in his mission to continue to explore age-old techniques and to share the lost art of cooking with chefs and home cooks alike.
