About this ebook

Not just recipes but a teaching tool about how and when to serve the food for celebrations according to Danish tradition and culture, and I quote a 1st. generation Dane in Canada who bought multiple copies for gift giving.

"This is a super book and I add my own loved recipes in the note section for my grandchildren!"

    Danish Food Canadian Attitude - Kirsten Marie Wohlgemuth

    Dear Reader,

    I am pleased knowing that the 1st Edition of Danish Food-Canadian Attitude has entered into homes all over Canada.  The Danish Canadian National Museum, located in Dickson, Alberta, has over several years, sold it in the gift shop there.  I am proud to have served on the Board of Directors in the past.  My husband and I continue to support DCNM.  I have been asked to arrange for a reprint of the 1st Edition; instead here is the new and improved 2nd Edition - The Heritage Collection.  And now I am able to present it digitally as well.

    My last couple of trips to Denmark, visiting more of the younger generation Danes, made me realize the population there, does enjoy a worldwide menu plan.  However, special occasions still call for the National foods of the past, depending on the chef and the venue.  It is fair to say that Danish-Canadians are frozen in time depending on the wave of immigration with which they arrived.

    I dedicate this publication to my daughter Kari and granddaughter Emma.  They follow in Danish footsteps of their ancestry, always keen to participate, and now take charge of baking and preparing the recipes that produce our Danish nostalgia of four generations in Canada.

    I was born in Denmark and emigrated with my parents, at the age of eleven to Canada.  I have memories of food as served in both countries, and prepared and served by relatives, friends and myself.  The recipes are Canadianized, tried and tested on my family and friends.

    I have included space for the reader to add to the Danish recipe collection. Customize the recipes by adding your own to hand down to your family or collect from others.

    Dear Reader,

    I love being Danish!  I love the food, the traditions, the people and the country.  I’ve always been a person who loved to learn traditions and have some sense of history and Denmark certainly has that.  It gives me a sense of belonging and identifying myself - I am Danish, and I can’t forget Ukrainian too.  I always said it was the best of both worlds; pickled herring and pyrogies!

    From Christmas dinner to the poor man’s meal, I love it all––the taste, the smell, Mmm!  I am lucky to have my daughter Emma who I like to think takes after me.  She loves to cook and she loves to learn about her heritage, and she loves food.  I am so happy that she is learning from her grandmother and me and I am confident that she will carry on the recipes and traditions when it’s my time to be a grandmother.

    Thanks Mom for sharing so proudly your love of Denmark––your stories, our family there, and the food!

    Kari

    A Danish Smorg is...

    Open faced sandwiches made ahead of time or at the table by each guest and please, no fingers.  Everyone uses a knife and fork.  Firstly, sandwiches must please the eye and then the palate.  As a party in progress, the pace is slow, allowing for good conversation, stories, and drinking songs.  A successful smorg takes several hours from beginning to end and you eat the sandwiches in a particular order.

    According to the topping, use thin sliced, heavy, dark rye bread, cut in half or in three triangles and French bread,
