A country’s soul often peeks through its cuisine. Just like Swedish cars and furniture, Swedish food is slowly gaining recognition around the world. More than just fish and meatballs, a New Nordic Cuisine movement is experimenting with Swedish food to make it even healthier and yet retain its familiar flavours.
