Notes: While touring Europe with my parents in 1970, we were served a wonderful meal and dessert. When we asked the waiter about the meal, he told us the chef was from Sweden and all his recipes were family recipes. My mother asked if the chef ever shared his recipes but the waiter firmly informed us that the chef never shared his recipes with anyone and didn't like strangers in his kitchen. A short time later, my mother excused herself. Dad and I thought she had gone to the restroom but when she didn't return, I started looking for her. By now, 20-30 minutes had gone by. I found my mother, sipping wine and wearing a chef hat and white apron and chatting warmly with the chef. Before we left that night, Mother had the recipe to the now famous, "Swedish Dessert." It has been enjoyed by my family since 1970 and I hope, it will for many years to come.
My mother was a very beautiful and charming woman. I was not sure how she talked the chef out of the recipe but have been glad she did! Thanks Mother!!
