    Vår kokbok (English: Our Cookbook) is the oldest of the three classic basic cookbooks in
    Sweden, the other two being Rutiga Kokboken and Bonniers Kokbok, and was first published
    [1][2]
    in 1951 by KF:s Provkök. It was in 2012 Sweden's most sold cookbook, with 2.1 million
    [3]
    copies sold since its publication.

    The first edition was written by former household teacher Anna-Britt Agnsäter for KF
    Provkök. She initially made a "crisis book" about how to cook during food rationing, which
    was about to be printed. But during an inspiring trip to USA she telegraphed home to stop the
    [1]
    presses.

    The new iteration was a more pedagogic, scientific, and easy to use cookbook that contained
    clearer information and exact details about how to cook each dish. It did away with old vague
    measuring units like "coffee cup" and "pinch" which was replaced with liters, deciliters, and
    [1]
    milliliters. It was the first Swedish cookbook to use the four piece measurement kit and the

    meat thermometer in their recipes. It have always advocated an ascetic and rational
    consumption behavior. The motives have changed over time, from effectiveness to healthy to
    [4]
    environmentally friendly, but the endpoint have remained the same.

    Vår kokbok is revised about every three years, with a lighter and more heavy revision done
    alternately. It have been described as a lexicon that young adults are gifted when they move
    [2]
    away from home, which are then kept and used long past it falls apart. In 2017 Norstedts

    Förlag published their 27th edition of Vår kokbok. In 2015 they also published Vår kokbok
    [5]
    vegan. In 2016 Vår kokbok was nominated by Gourmand World in the two categories "best
    [6]
    bestseller" and "best series". In 2017 the publisher Coop-Norstedts won the Gourmand
    [7]
    World Cookbook's "best series" award for the vegetarian version Vår gröna kokbok.
