Handy Scandi Christmas Gifts from Scandinavian Kitchen

DSC03060

When Danish/Swedish tag team Bronte (from Denmark) and Jonas (from Sweden) opened Scandinavian Kitchen in 2006, the plan was simply to make available to themselves and their ex-pat communities all the food and drink they missed from back home. Little did they realize that come six or so years down the line, all things Scandi would become so staggeringly trendy here in London. Now the duo seem to be sitting pretty peddling all sorts of Scandinavian treats from their homey and practical little Fitzrovian cafe and shop.

And just in time for Christmas, Bronte and Jonas are offering four different “taster boxes” with cold meats, cheeses, sweets, drinks and condiments from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. I was at the launch for the taster boxes and very much enjoyed my Nordic nibbling session. Pickled herring? Ginger snaps? Oh yeah. I didn’t mind downing a few festival cups of glögg or (I forget how many) shots of aquavit either.

Scandinavian Kitchen’s taster boxes are smart gift ideas for the clued in foodies in your life and offer the chance to get some very Christmassy treats without having to trek to the North Pole (doesn’t Santa live somewhere in Scandinavia?). The boxes range in price from £38 to £55 including nationwide delivery. There’s a Scandi Christmas Box, a Scandi Chilled Gourmet Box, an Aquavit and Chocolate Box and Scandi Drinks Selection. You can buy them online or in the shop.

Scandinavian Kitchen is located at 61 Great Titchfield Street, W1W 7PP. Visit the shop online at scandikitchen.co.uk.
