I always enjoy learning more about Danish food and I was delighted to see this free little cookbook in the meat section of my local Føtex. I must admit I was also drawn by the title, Retro Mad (Retro Food) hoping to find the Danish equivalent of prawn cocktail.
The book takes all the traditional Danish food like flæskesteg (roast pork) and frikadeller (meat balls) and shows the traditional ways of cooking them and then a contrasting modern take on this. I found it really interesting and there were a few recipes both retro and modern we may well try.
Look out next time you are in Føtex for this little gem!


This sounds great. I'd love to have a booklet like this for retro German food 🙂
