Join one of Norway’s most acclaimed food writers and cultural communicators, Andreas Viestad, as he takes us on a flavourful journey through history!

In his new book, Viestad launches a rescue mission for the food that built Norway – a story about our unique ingredients, traditions, and flavours that have shaped both us and our culture.

Today, Norway is known as a food nation, boasting Michelin stars and experts in international cuisine. But what about our own food? Viestad warns that an important part of our cultural heritage – as significant as the stave churches – is disappearing. When it is lost, we lose an irreplaceable part of our identity.

This book is not only a tribute to Norwegian food culture, but also an unusual and fascinating history of Norway – told through the food we eat.

Lecture by the author.
