Home Baked by Hanne Risgaard
The growing movement of Nordic cuisine centres on its devotion to high-quality regional produce, the creativity of the chef, and a sound awareness of the workings of nature—a set of principles that guides author Hanne Risgaard in Home Baked. With enticing, full-colour photographs throughout, Home Baked offers recipes and techniques for baking artisan bread and pastry using organic, nutrient-rich grain and stone-milled flour grown and milled on Skærtoft Mølle, the Risgaards’ farm on Als, an idyllic island in the southeast of Denmark. Copenhagen’s celebrated restaurant NOMA, recently accorded a `World’s Best Restaurant’ award, uses Skærtoft Mølle products. Risgaard’s recipes include unique ingredients like foraged herbs and greens—such as the Cocotte with Ramsons, elderflower muffins, and `Green Knots’ made with stinging nettle—that emphasize the distinct Nordic approach to bread baking that is worlds away from most conventional baking books. The book includes a guide to basic equipment and kitchen set-up, ingredients, and the history of Skærtoft Mølle and their philosophy.
Hanne Risgaard, her husband Jørgen Bonde, and her daughter, Marie-Louise, who is the translator of this book, run Skærtoft Mølle. Hanne Risgaard and Jørgen took over a previous farming operation in 1983 and converted to entirely organic in 1991. In 2004 they decided to turn their empty buildings into a mill and start producing their own organic, stone-ground flour. Since then, the family-run company has produced a steadily growing range of prize-winning products that both stimulate the senses and follow modern culinary trends.
