New book about Halland out
Written by tevensso on May 18, 2005 to Roxette.
There’s a new Roxette track out there. This time it’s not played by Roxette, but by Ginestrakvartetten (The Ginestra Quartet) and it’s a beautiful seven and a half minute long medley of “Vulnerable”, “It Must Have Been Love”, “Dressed for Success” and “The Look”. Ginestrakvartetten is a classical quartet so the medley is therefore performed gracefully with classical instruments.
This track is from an album that is a bonus CD to the book “Smak av Halland” (“A Taste of Halland”), a cookbook – and more – about Halland, the county that Halmstad is the capital of.
“Smak av Halland” is written by Tomas Tengby and Stefan Holmström, while the photographs are taken by Bruno Ehrs and Lasse Åkerström.
ICA, the publishing company, describes the book like this: “Book idea: A cookbook with the raw material of Halland as a basis. Additionally what’s unique for Halland is presented in the text and the photos. Some history, health, food, music and nature.”
Examples of recipes featured in the book:
Small potato pancakes
Potatoes au gratin spiced with blue cheese
Fillet of beef in a string
Salad from Ugglarp with horseradish dressing
All in all there are about 50 recipes and 60 color photos in the book. ISBN: 91-534-2636-3

The recipes sound great - as long as there’s no fish in it.. ;-)

@gyllene tjej: Recommended price is 228 as tevensso says, but in Halmstad I paid 139 SEK for mine.
@lonely girl: It is a book about Halland... so sure there’s fish in it as well. ;) But I don’t like fish either! ;))

I would like to order the book. But not all Swedish shops deliver to Germany. And the other thing is, that the book is already sold out in the most shops like http://www.saxo.com.
Do you know other shops who deliver to Germany and where the book is not sold out?

That’s really wonderful news and I’d love to have the book as well. We’ll see if I find a way to order it here in Austria.
@Johan: could you also send me some snippets? Many thanx already in advance!! [email protected]

OMG! I can see the disc includes a track by Astor Piazzolla (Argentinian comtemporary composer, who died in 1992). I can’t believe that composition was included on that CD! I’m proud, our artists are recognised everywere :oD
