  • 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.

    SustainableHorticultural Crop Production in Sweden James Runyan Horticulture 3002W - Greenhouse Management/Sustainable Horticulture Department of Horticultural Science, University of Minnesota 1970 Folwell Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55108 U.S.A. Introduction to Sweden The Kingdom of Sweden is a Nordic country located on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. It has 3,218 km of coastline along the Baltic Sea, the Gulf of Bothnia, the Kattegat Sea, and the Skagerrak Strait. Sweden has 2,233 km of land boundaries; 1,619 km borders Norway to the west, and 614 km borders Finland to the northeast; it is connected to Denmark by the Öresund Bridge in the south. Sweden is the 55th largest geographical country in the world, with a total area of 450,295 sq km, comprised of 410,335 sq km of dry land and 39,960 sq km of water. In terms of size, the size of Sweden is slightly larger than the state of California, USA. Only 5.93% of Sweden’s land is identified as arable land with an additional 0.01% with permanent crops (C.I.A., 2010). The terrain of Sweden is mostly flat or gently rolling lowlands, but there are mountains in the west, mostly along the borders of Norway. Sweden’s climate is generally temperate in the south with cold, cloudy winters and cool, partly cloudy summers; the northern parts of Sweden lie within the Arctic Circle and those areas usually experiences subarctic conditions with long, cold winters (U.S.D.O.S. 2009). The population of Sweden is estimated to be 9,059,651 people, making it the 88th most populous nation in the world.

  • 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.

Join six senior citizens from Eudora, Missouri, as they explore a different travel destination each month. This month they visit the country of Sweden. Traveling How-To’s & Tips • This is a copy of the complete trip for the facilitator to use. This activity can be performed as a skit with participants representing the six Front Porch characters, or as a dramatic reading using this large-print script. • Check out the links in the article for additional information to bring to the activity. • Print a copy of the pictures or display them on the television. • Post a special sign announcing the trip. • If your group isn’t familiar with the Front Porch Travelers, have them Meet the McGivers (and friends). • This PDF slideshow can be shown on a big-screen TV as another way to present the travelogue. It includes text in large font, links for additional information, and lots of pictures. Travel Advisory from Nell and Truman: If using all of the information in the Travelogue seems too complex for your group, trim it back and just present sections, such as showing and discussing the slide show or copies of the pictures, reading and discussing trivia points, or asking and discussing questions from the Discussion Starters. In Search of Two Swedish Meatballs Introduction Sweden is not just the home of beautiful people, IKEA, northern lights, and meatballs.
