Sustainable, free-range and zero-waste are examples of upcoming
food trends in the world right now. The trends are vital, as they create
awareness of the value of food and an inherited respect for the planet
we live on.
However, this is old news for the Sami people, who have a tradition of using in a sustainable way what nature has to offer.
Many
are familiar with the Sami TV-chef Maret Ravdna Buljo from the
hit-series “SMAKER FRÅN SÀPMI” (Tastes from Sápmi”), shown on e.g. SVT
and NRK, which are the largest TV stations in Sweden and Norway.
Together,
Maret Ravdna Buljo and renowned Icelandic TV-chef Sveinn Kjartansson
are co-hosting this year’s Christmas gourmet event in The Nordic House.
You
will hear about the Sami way of life and their perspective on hunting
and gathering. Get practical advice, tips and recipes on how to better
use the rich ingredients available in our cold northern climate. You can
also get a taste of Maret’s own cooking, with ingredients ranging from
reindeer to seaweed and local herbs.
The event is limited to 60
people. Registration at tix.is with a registration fee of 1500 ISK.
Registration opens on November 20th at 16:30. The event will be in
English.
