Recipe for Tosca Cake from Norwegian Baking Through the Seasons by Nevada Berg

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This book shows you lots of enticing baked goods from Norway. Try the yummy Tosca Cake, which is actually Swedish. The recipe directs you to use a clever technique, where you bake it for 20 minutes, pour the glaze on top of the hot cake, and bake some more. Next on my list: pretzels, horns with herby pea pesto, and another cake, called the world’s best!

Recipe for Roasted Dorade with Fennel and Tomatoes from A Table Full of Love by Skye McAlpine

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This lovely cookbook inspired me to try some new dishes, including this fish. Its bright flavors will spice up your dinner menu. And the writing is charming. There are directions in this recipe to cook the fennel when the water begins to gallop. See? Charming. Next on my list: Honey Roasted Chicken, Polpette alla Ricotta, and Aunt Effie’s Oat Bars.
