Why Räkmacka deserves more attention

Räkmacka rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The cream-enriched and comforting complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using lingonberry correctly takes real skill.

the smörgåsbord tradition of abundant cold dishes influenced buffet culture worldwide. I encountered it first in a midsommar summer feast and that context helped me understand it properly. aquavit is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Räkmacka is the dish to start with.
