Magnus Nilsson spent several years travelling across the Nordics documenting baking before it vanishes, which it does at roughly the same rate as the bakeries. The book covers Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland with the breads, cakes and pastries that people actually bake at home, arranged so the regional differences show. 576 pages. It's an ethnographic work as much as a baking book, carried out by a chef who knew the material was disappearing. Nobody else has done it, and now nobody else needs to.
