New Nordic Cuisine with Thor Erickson
Presented by Nordic Northwest's Friday Night Lecture Series. For more events at Nordic Northwest, view our calendar: https://www.nordicnorthwest.org/upcom...
The New Nordic Cuisine exhibition focuses on a Nordic value-driven food system that has captured the attention of world-famous chefs and home cooks alike over the past 15 years. The 2004 Nordic Food Manifesto articulated a set of values for approaching food through the lenses of local production, seasonality, ethical production, and innovation. The manifesto has sparked a robust dialog about food culture, both in the Nordic countries and around the world. By examining Nordic food trends in a light-hearted, interactive format, this exhibition introduces visitors to contemporary Nordic food and its driving values today. This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Danish America, Elk Horn, Iowa.
This exhibition is sponsored by Scan | Design Foundation.
Thor Erickson is the Associate Professor of Culinary Arts at the Cascade Culinary Institute. Throughout the lecture he will walk us through the history, philosophy and psychology behind the "New Nordic Food Manifesto" and the recipe for life that it provides us.
