Great Minnesota Hot Dishes

The Minnesota hot dish (elsewhere called a casserole) is a one-dish supper (or side dish) baked in the oven using a single piece of cookware. We will create up to 15 sensational dishes, including beef; pork and sauerkraut; pork loin with dried apricots and cherries; beef and spinach; eggplant and cheese; and more! We will use fresh ingredients (no canned soups) and do easy preparation for a family meal or make impressive elegant company fare or crowd-pleasing recipes for potluck.

Learn to create the rolled Norwegian cookie, Krumkakes made with cream, butter and cinnamon or sometimes flavored with vanilla. Italian Pizzelles are also baked on the top of the stove using an iron, but are a flat, anise-flavored cookie or they also may be flavored with vanilla. The chewy, almond Swedish Sandbakkelse are delicate golden brown in color and are baked in tiny tins to resemble tarts. Finally, we will master deep fried Rosettes – the exceedingly fragile, paper thin Scandinavian delicacies dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Expect great recipes plus the many tips and techniques that will make your baking a success!
