Summer Vacation Through COOKbooks: Scandinavia

Throughout August, COOK has taken you on a culinary vacation through our cookbooks. We traveled around the world, starting in Southeast Asia where we had some fired-up prawns.

After that a short plane ride to Italy had us enjoying the classic Italian staples – pasta, basil and tomatoes.
