Dagmar Freuchen's cookbook of the seven seas

the long version

Dagmar Freuchen's interest in cooking began with her marriage to a bold, towering Arctic explorer named Peter Freuchen. He had enjoyed foods from all over the world and also had friends who were Cordon Bleu chefs. Dagmar learned to recreate the culinary memories of her own and Peter's childhoods in Denmark and also the varied dishes Peter described from far away places. This is a rich collection of gourmet recipes that emphasize meat and vegetables. There are a great many fish recipes. The author includes warm and frequently amusing anecdotes of her life with Peter.
