Introducing 'Once Upon a Country Kitchen: Culinary Tales and Recipes of a Mother and Daughter' cookbook.

Picture a cozy country house with a kitchen made of rustic logs, the very heart of the home. Here, a mother and daughter share a profound passion for food, which has now blossomed into a delightful cookbook celebrating the essence of wholesome cooking.

Leena, who retired from managing a farm, honed her culinary prowess in an era when pre-packaged meals were unheard of, and the local village store boasted nothing more exotic than a bag of pearl rice. Meanwhile, Anna, her daughter, refined her cooking skills during a time when everyday ingredients could transport you around the world, and fresh produce overflowed in fruit aisles.

In the serene atmosphere of their Nordic log kitchen, they reconnect with the fundamentals, embracing the timeless art of farmhouse cooking, a tradition passed down through generations of women. Amidst the whirlwind of modernity, hands still knead dough, and the magic of salt continues to enhance flavors, just as it did a thousand years ago.
