In very good condition overall, this hard-to-find cookbook is written by Lotta Lungren, a Swedish TV chef and food blogger who is also a columnist for Gourmet. This book has had incredible success in Sweden.
First English translation, published by New Holland in 2012. The facing page inside has a handwritten dedication and, I believe, is signed by the author but cannot authenticate this.
This is an oversized 9 1/2" x 11" book that has thick cardboard covers which have a bit of edge wear front and back. The spine is tight & true. There are some surface scratches that can be seen when tilted to the light.
The inside pages are all crisp & clean, perfect with no stains, dog ears or marks. Please see photos as they are part of the description.
