Join one of Norway’s most respected food writers and communicators of food culture, Andreas Viestad, on a flavourful journey through history!
In his new book Vår norske mathistorie, Viestad launches a rescue mission for the food that built Norway – a story of our unique ingredients, traditions and flavours that have shaped both our culture and who we are.
Today, Norway is known as a food nation with Michelin stars and experts in international cuisines. But what about our own food? Viestad warns that a vital part of our cultural heritage, as significant as the stave churches, is in danger of 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 alternative and fascinating history of Norway, told through the food we eat.
