It's a book called "Salame & Signor. " Authors are Viveca Sundvall and Gunilla Warnstrom. Published in 1988, originally in Swedish.
More bits and pieces I remembered....Salame and Signor are two frogs who come to the protagonist and his older sister Linda. The frogs are afraid of being eaten by Princess Pamela who lives in Cobweb Castle. The princess is fascinated by tasting all kinds of unusual dishes and is now fixated on getting to try frogs' legs. One of the frogs (Salame) loves eating sausages. I think there's also a grandmother, two handsome princes, and a giant goose.

Plot points, to the best of my knowledge:
It involved two children who were brought into some other world by a frog, in order to deal with an evil witch (?) who was interested in trying all kinds of food and had now fixated on frogs' legs. Maybe they were taken into that other world via their laundry room? I'm not sure on that point.
Also, I think there was a character named something like "Salami" who was also a frog and maybe also in the title.
I would appreciate any advice/recollections that people can offer!
