What is there not to love about this book? Seriously, it is amazing!

Okay I might be partial because a few years ago while learning more about my Danish heritage I discovered Aebleskivers and this book has just stepped up my love for them (if that is even possible). Okay let me start of with one thing I adore about this book, the photographs. There is a photo for every single recipe, and they are beautiful well thought put photos! This is huge to me, way to many recipe books skimp on the pictures and this one did not at all.

Each recipe is displayed nicely with clear and easy to follow directions. They are also displayed on the pages nicely. I love that the book didn't just start at recipes. She spend some time telling us a little about herself, teaching us the important info about making a good aeblesiver and the tools that we will need to do so. The pictures tied into this again, making an aebleskiver is an art and she has a series of images that shows us how to do that! This is huge for anyone who is new to this! She even has the basic recipe to make a classic, gluten free, vegan, paleo, keto & yeast version!

Okay now the recipes themselves, there are so many in here. There is something for everyone from sweets to savory versions. I can't wait to try more of her amazing recipes.

Holy visuals! This book is gorgeous! The pictures really help you understand the recipes since most of these were brand new to me. I really enjoyed learning a new cuisine. My family liked the dishes I have made so far so I think that goes to show that this cookbook is a winner! I would love to have this in the physical version.

As an American expat living in Denmark, I am quite familiar with æbleskiver and even made them myself several times. I was intrigued by this cookbook because I wanted to know other ways to make æbleskiver. The cookbook starts with an introduction including the pans and tools you will need and how to make the æbleskiver in the pan. Next are the recipes for basic, sweet, and savory æbleskiver. Each recipe includes an ingredient list, directions, and a photo. I appreciate that the recipes include a photo because you can see what the final dish looks like and it helps you decide if you would like to make it. The recipes also include dietary restrictions such as if the recipe is gluten-free, nut-free, vegetarian, and vegan, which I appreciate. It is a great cookbook, and I am definitely curious to try the Rhubarb Crumble Æbleskiver, Wild Strawberry Æbleskiver, Cheddar and Chive Æbleskiver, and Hush Puppy Æbleskiver recipes.

Such a great and unique cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and they pictures are gorgeous! Ive had and aebelskiver pan forever and this book finally made me break it out. It is a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to make them into perfect spears but even if they aren't pretty the flavors are amazing. I will definitely be purchasing this for my shelf

This was so interesting! Even though this is based around one essential dish, a Danish pancake (Aebleskiver), there's like a hundred recipes in here that are essentially all different meals! I think the chart in the beginning is great too because once someone makes all the recipes with the book they want to, or for someone who likes to experiment with recipes, they can create their own Aebleskiver recipes! Stunning photography, and I thought all of the placing were beautiful and in theme with the recipe!

I loved this one! The illustrations were so beautiful and I loved the handy tips that were mentioned along with various options. There was something for everyone with dozens of flavors and varieties with clear instructions. It also gave a lot of room for creativity which I know some folks like to have but also classic instructions that turn out well.

I tried the chocolate truffle one (a festival is actually going on at the moment where these are quite popular (which actually prompted me to try this book) so I already had the batter ready) and it came out great! It's actually quite a simply but tasty and filling snack or breakfast we can customize to our liking. Adding some berries and nuts complete the dish.

Thanks to the publisher for this ARC!
