OLD RECIPE FOR DANISH STEW (STUVET OKSEKøD)
My mother collected cookbooks like you or I collect tunes for our MP3s. She recently passed away, and I was going through some of her collection, just to feel close to her again. Low and behold, I found this wonderful book called "Wonderful, Wonderful Danish Cooking" by Ingeborg Dahl Jensen (with an introduction by Victor Borge!) published in 1965. This is one of the recipes I found to post for ZWT 6.
