To Dorie: I think you've confused two things. Norske Nook (restaurant in Osseo, WI) does have a cookbook, but they were not on David Letterman. Marjorie Johnson was on Jay Leno and put out a cookbook after that. The two are not connected as far as I know.
I would also like to second Bev's request for a lefse recipe. Of course, in order to make lefse, you need a lefse griddle & stick. (Oh bummer - one more kitchen "necessity"!) Hmm...they sell lefse (with either cinnamon & sugar or lingonberries) at the MN state fair! Just another reason to visit. They also sell the griddles there, too.
I would also love a good (yeast bread) recipe for Julekage. I've tried a few, but I've not had great results. I've discovered afterwards that I didn't let it bake long enough and it falls apart easily.
My mom makes lefse, Kim - she doesn't use a stick or a special griddle. I'll have to try her recipe - have to confess, since I don't care for it, I've never made it! And I have my grandma's julekage recipe - but I don't think it's yeasted. Packed with fruit, like a fruitcake. PJH
