Autumn Flavours of Scandinavia Journey
Norway’s borders are soon to reopen to U.S. travelers so there is no time like the present for your readers to consider experiencing the Autumn Flavors of Scandinavia from sustainable luxury travel operator Up Norway.
This 10-day culinary voyage invites travelers to interact with friendly locals, sample local specialities and find inspiration for new ways of cooking and sustainable living.
HIGHLIGHTS:
You may have watched Scandinavian TV chefs Andreas Viestad and Tina Nordström travelling through spectacular Norwegian landscapes in the TV series New Scandinavian Cooking. In the series, Andreas and Tina interact with friendly locals, sample local specialities and find inspiration for new ways of cooking and living. This journey invites you to do the same.
With its rich history and vast, sprawling coastline, Norway boasts one of the best gourmet scenes in the world right now. But how did our history affect our food scene? How did we overcome the harsh weather conditions, freezing cold soil and generations of outward emigration, to get to today? This journey will take you on a culinary voyage of discovery where you will witness these cultural and traditional differences at first hand while moving 11 degrees of latitude along the way.
