    The Copenhagen restaurant scene has sent the food-obsessed into a frenzy in recent years and it shows no signs of abating. Meanwhile there is still a long tradition of baking in Denmark that relies on basic ingredients to please the palate. Trine Hahnemann has written five cookbooks and her latest is Scandinavian Baking: Sweet and Savory Cakes and Bakes, For Bright Days and Cozy Nights." In this week's show, Hahnemann tells us about the book and how to make rye sourdough starter from scratch. Let us know how it works out for you and try her recipe for Malted Rye Bread with Mixed Seeds on the Good Food blog.
