Welcome to Swedish Foods Website
Swedish cuisine tends to be hearty, practical and sustaining. There are large regional variations in the cuisine in Sweden, but most dishes are traditionally simple. In the north, some variations, including reindeer, and other game dishes, have their roots in the Sami people while in the south, historically the supply of fresh vegetables has been better and the traditions are in large parts very similar to many other European cuisines. Swedes have traditionally been very open to foreign influences, ranging from French cuisine during the 17th and 18th century, to the sushi and cafe latte of today. Many Swedish restaurateurs mix traditional husmanskost with a modern, gourmet approach. On the fast food side, the pizza has been an integral part of swedish culture since the 1960s. Twenty years later, the same could be said about kebab and falafel, as many small restaurants specialise in such dishes.
