For one last gastronomic memory of Grythyttan, we recommend a visit to Neering's ice cream and chocolate shop for some world-class homemade treats while relaxing on their sunny veranda. It's never too early for dessert! Then continue to Syrholen and your next overnight destination, the Dala-Floda Inn by Lake Flosjön. Here you will find a peaceful place to stay in scenic surroundings with red timber cottages. This small hotel is labeled with the Nordic ECO-label, the Swan, which indicates that it follows a rigorous and certified long-term environmental program throughout all of its business operations.

Here you will also find a museum dedicated to the well-known Swedish artist Carl Larsson. From there, continue northwest towards the charming village of Tällberg, beautifully located by Lake Siljan. On the way, those with Swedish ancestry may wish to visit the Dössberget Heritage Museum in Bjursås. Its scenic location on a hill and the great lunch menu will still appeal to those without Swedish roots! Your destination this evening is the elegant Tällberg Manor House in Dalecarlia. Since the 1800s artists and writers have sought inspiration along the shores of Lake Siljan in this idyllic town, and it's easy to understand why once you're here. The manor house, known for its excellent service and warm atmosphere, has a long history filled with the traditions and ambience of the Dalecarlia region.

  • Break Down the Barriers Between Fields
    CHAPTERthree Break Down the Barriers Between Fields SEA URCHIN LOLLIPOPS AND D ARWIN’ SFINCHES n early january of 1995, Jan Sandel, the executive I chef at the Swedish restaurant Aquavit in New York City, unexpectedly died of a heart attack. The owner, Håkan Swahn, imme- diately had to find someone to head up the kitchen. He decided to place newly hired Marcus Samuelsson in charge while he searched for a permanent replacement. But Swahn was hesitant because Samuels- son was quite young. “Our organization was big and complex, and our reputation was excellent. It is not the type of operation you just hand over to a twenty-four-year-old,” he explained. In retrospect, it may have been the best decision he ever made. At the time, Aquavit had become a well-respected Manhattan restaurant, with one star from the New York Times. But something strange started happening only weeks after Samuelsson headed up the kitchen. New dishes based on unique combinations of food from all 35 36 Creating the Medici Effect over the world began showing up on the menu. The new items, such as oysters with mango curry sorbet, didn’t always seem to make sense, but they tickled both the imagination and the palate. They were unlike any- thing the guests had ever tasted before. Only three months later Ruth Reichl of the New York Times gave the restaurant a rare three-star review because of its innovative and tasty food.1 Samuelsson was the youngest chef to have ever received such a prestigious rating. “Mr. Samuelsson’s cooking is delicate and beautiful,” she wrote.

  • New Nordic Cuisine Thesis Paolo T
    Paolo Tamborini Master Thesis Master of Social Science in Management of Creative Business Processes (CBP) Copenhagen Business School August 2013 The Transposition of Culinary Models New Nordic Cuisine in Italy Academic advisor: Jesper Strandgaard Pedersen Department of Organization Page count: 62 st. pages Characters count (incl. spaces): 98.748 Abstract In the last years New Nordic Cuisine has gained international recognition, while it remained confined within the boundaries of Nordic countries. This project deals with the transposition of New Nordic Cuisine in Italy, maintaining an entrepreneurial approach in the view of a potential opening of the first New Nordic Cuisine restaurant in Italy. Starting from a framing of the culinary and gastronomic industry within the sector of the Creative industries, literature from the fields of National cultures, organizational translation and legitimization and identity is reviewed, in order to give this study a solid theoretical foundation. Through the elaboration of cross-cultural studies from the perspective of Denmark and Italy, insights into the two national cultures are gained, useful for drawing practical managerial considerations. This study has a qualitative nature. The sources of empirical data are interviews and a survey. In one case also a field visit was performed. The interviews were performed with a semi-structured approach following the guidelines of the qualitative interview. The survey does not follow a quantitative approach. Through the interviews and analysis of cases, emerged the importance of maintaining a clear Nordic identity for New Nordic Cuisine in Italy. At the same time the Italian public thinks that an integration with Italian elements is needed in order to transpose successfully the Nordic cuisine.

  • Mysterious Czernina Dumplings. on Swedish Dishes and Their Translated Names in the Polish Emil of Lönneberga
    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 213–226 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.011.0865 HANNA DYMEL-TRZEBIATOWSKA MYSTERIOUS CZERNINA DUMPLINGS. ON SWEDISH DISHES AND THEIR TRANSLATED NAMES IN THE POLISH EMIL OF LÖNNEBERGA Abstract: This article starts with a short overview of the fundamental role played by food in children’s literature. The motif of food can convey deep psychological as well as philosophical meanings, and Astrid Lindgren made use of it with various purposes in mind: symbolical, comical, anti-didactic or educational. The main analysis is limited to the Polish translation of the name of one dish in the old Swedish cuisine – palt – which appears in different contexts in Astrid Lindgren’s trilogy about Emil of Lönneberga. Keywords: food, Swedish palt, children’s literature, didacticism, Astrid Lindgren, cultural translation In children’s literature the motif of food and broadly understood cooking has always occupied a major position. It may be simply explained as an expression of greed that is typical of many children, or as a manifestation of an obvious human pleasure derived from food, to which the young can totally abandon themselves, especially when it comes to sweets. A frequent reappearance of this motif, however, may also be viewed from a broader perspective, with regard to its origins and a deeper psychological, socio- logical and even philosophical meaning. Maria Nikolayeva (1999) interprets the motif of food in children’s lit- erature as a continuation of the reformulated rite of passage characteristic of myths and folktales. The hero is often eaten or, once he is resurrected to a new life, he frequently consumes ritual food as part of the initiation process.

We study the restaurants from a Goffmanian performance perspective, focusing on the lifestyle entrepreneur’s viewpoint of creating a restaurant experience in their homes. Accordingly, the home and its surroundings are considered a setting in which food has an important role as a performance medium and multiple roles are enacted by a single entrepreneur as a performer. Freshness, quality and locality of food, homeliness and personalised service are used for creating a special home restaurant meal experience. The two cases also shed light on the dynamics of the concepts of home and lifestyle entrepreneurship in contemporary Estonia, chal- lenging the understanding of restaurant cuisine and home cooking as oppositional practices of food preparation and consumption. KEYWORDS: restaurant • home • performance • lifestyle enterprise • Estonia IntrOduCtiON Traditionally the restaurant and eating out belong to the public space whereas home cooking and domestic dining belong to the private sphere.
