Swedish snaps : snaps flavourings and small plates

Snaps what would our Swedish celebrations be without a glass of liquid cheer? Whether it s an Easter dinner or Midsummer lunch, crayfish party or Christmas, there s always room for a little drop of the hard stuff to wash it all down with. A vast array of varieties exist, and while sometimes controversial in bygone days of excess, snaps still has pride of place on the Swedish table, albeit for the more moderate enjoyment of the modern consumer.   Join food writer Anna Berghe as she takes us on a botanical tour of Swedish snaps, using seasonal herbs, flowers, fruit and berries to flavour her delicious homemade offerings. Paired with her suggestions for small plates and snacks, they ll be the talk of the party!
