Swedish Christmas Buffet

Tonight's episode of New Scandinavian Cooking was called Christmas Buffet. I am definitely going to make the Nougat with Almonds and Hazlenut, although to chill it I will have to use the conventional method, in the refrigerator, as opposed to flinging the pan across a frozen lake like Tina did! She said of the candy: "It makes a great gift when you're going to friends." And when making her Apple Drink with Absolut Vanilia she warned not to let it come to a boil as "it's a flat-out shame to burn it all out there, in the air." Agreed!

I've noticed she uses this totally cool little blond wood cooking station that she assembles herself. It's compact and looks like it consists of about 7 or 8 pieces. Another marvel of great Swedish design.
