Smörgåsbord is something very Swedish and each family has their own version. On Friday, April 30, we will learn from Ingvar Wikström how he puts together a Smörgåsbord. You will also get a chance to eat some of the Swedish delicacies that are part of a Smörgåbord. Make sure to go to the Calendar and sign up now.
