From Forests, Farms & Family Tables
Meat has long had an important place in Swedish cooking, but traditionally, very little was wasted. Pork could be salted, smoked or made into sausages, while beef was often boiled, braised or stretched with potatoes, cabbage and root vegetables to feed a family.
Game has its own place in the Swedish kitchen. Moose, deer and other wild meats have been part of the food culture for centuries, particularly in the forested regions of the country, where hunting is still very much a living tradition.
Here you’ll find traditional Swedish meat and game dishes – from meatballs, kålpudding and slow-cooked roasts to hearty everyday food shaped by preservation, thrift and the ingredients available close to home.
