Jenny Lind Bakery

From 2012-2014 I worked on my cookbook. The first print was out in October of 2014. I’m selling a second edition now and have sold about 1200 books. The cookbook is a collection of tried and true recipes from twenty years of the Jenny Lind Bakery. It contains sweet and savory recipes including The Jenny Lind Brownie, Cardamom Rolls and Chicken Wild Rice Soup. You’ll also find, in and amongst the recipes, my anecdotes, illustrations and cooking tips. The book is 115 pages, spiral bound.

I offer my Swedish-influenced and popular local baked goods from a new commercial kitchen. They are available at Simple Abundance and the Farmer’s Market in Red Wing, the 404 Coffee Shop in Pepin, Wisconsin, and other retail stores along the great Mississippi River.

I like the idea of sharing “My Sturdiwheat Story” because of how involved I have been with Sturdiwheat over the years, and also the parallel with my own business. While wearing either hat, I love discovering what customers are looking for and standing behind quality products like Sturdiwheat.

The Sturdiwheat Pancake Mix is probably my favorite product in that that is the one I eat most, especially the buckwheat.

I loved the challenge of coming up with formulas for baking mixes that only took one or two ingredients for you, the customer, to make at home. I like to make products that are healthy and can be used with fresh ingredients, like the galette formula that can be used for savory or sweet eating.
