Tip Jar: Adopt a Scandinavian!

Inspired by Food & Wine's Trendspotting editorial, we're thinking Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and all things Nordic this holiday season. When it comes to home decor or the food you serve at your holiday dinner, adopt a Scandinavian design or recipe this season to mix it up over the holidays.

Food
Gravlax - Serve this delicious and delicate salt and sugar cured salmon dish that is fantastic on toast and served with Champagne. One of my favorite dishes!
Swedish or Norwegian  Meatballs - (recipe from Scandilicious by Signe Johnson, p. 32 in December issue of Food & Wine)
Jarlesburg Cheese - from Norway and serves well with a Gewurztraminer, Riesling, or Cabernet Sauvignon.

Fashion
Anthropologie - Find great modern Scandinavian-looking clothing with a focus on craftsmanship. Though they were born in Wayne PA, and have a great store in Rittenhouse Square, much of their winter lines of clothing have that Nordic appeal perfect for the Holiday.
Furniture
Dane Decor - Looking for a new chair for the house? Consider the 1970's classic comfort chair, Lido. We love ours!
Ikea - Ah, yes, Ikea, your old Swedish flame that you keep trying to break up with. Sometimes he is irresistible. Especially his fun $2.99 Christmas stockings.
Ligne Roset -  Fans of modern French and Scandinavian design flock to this spot in Manayunk for furniture and accessories with an edge.
