 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 in 1951 by KF:s Provkök.

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 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 milliliters. It was the first Swedish cookbook to use the four piece measurement kit and the meat thermometer in their recipes.

 Vår Kokbok  is revised about every third year, with a lighter and more heavy revision done alternately. It have been described as a lexicon that young adults are gifted when they move away from home, which are then kept and used long past it literally falls apart. In 2017 Norstedts Förlag  published their 27th edition of '' Vår Kokbok. In 2015 they also published  Vår Kokbok Vegan .''
