SWEDISH CABBAGE ROLLS (KALDOLMAR)
A classic Swedish dish. This is the recipe from the late Tore Wretman (1918-2003), the actual inventer of Swedish gastronomy. According to him, it's his grandma's recipe, and the source is his memoires "Mat och Minnen", Bra Bockers Forlag, 1987. Since Tore always was asked, at every occasion, what his favorite dish was, he decided to always answer "kaldolmar", which - with his own words - was as close to the truth as one could get!
