It's unexplored, and even though it's perceived as healthy, hearty and exotic, not too many people really know what Scandinavian food entails," [Morten Sohlberg] says. "It's also not as easily definable as, say, Italian food with its pizza and pasta. Then again, of course, IKEA has done much to educate Americans about Swedish meatballs.
"The task of creating a new recipe with cod and lingonberries became quite an experience. We initially tried traditional Scandinavian tastes like dill and parsley, even ventured into new ground with cilantro or watercress. We felt that the lemongrass not only brought out the flavors of the other ingredients, but complemented the sweet and tart experience of the lingonberry itself in a perfect way," Sohlberg explains.
"I think if the waiter is happy, it...

In a Sweden where one in five citizens has roots in another part of the world, it is not as surprising as it once might have been that the leading star of Scandinavian food culture in America, Marcus Samuelsson, has his roots in Ethiopia. He grew up on Sweden's west coast, and his Swedish is perfect, albeit laced with a hefty Göteborg dialect; he enjoys time in the forest, picking wild mushrooms and berries; he truly enjoys the salty aspect of Scandinavian food; and he likes the simplicity of Nordic design. He plays soccer as often as he can, these days in Central Park, and possesses that genuinely Scandinavian trait of not letting anything go to waste-a frugality he picked up from his grandma in the kitchen while forming his first ideas on cooking. Marcus, linguistically and culturally...

Tina Nordström is only 32 years old but she has already sold over one million copies of her books and created six seasons of Scandinavia's most popular food series for television. In September 2005 Tina will make her debut on American television with the first of a series of programs called "New Scandinavian Cooking," which will initially be broadcast on Channel 13 in New York.
The cheese Tina makes in Vemdalen is not your everyday Swiss or cheddar, but a special concoction called "messmör," which is dark-colored and slightly sweet. During the Christmas season, Tina journey's into Sweden's mountainous heartland, to Dalarna. Dressed in a folk costume inherited from her grandmother, the youthful, charming cook takes an active part in the festivities, even the bizarre "Frog Dance" that is ...
