Tina Nordstrom is riding the wave of young Nordic chefs pushing the boundaries of Scandinavian cuisine. One of Sweden’s most famous culinary artists, Nordstrom is the host of Scandinavia’s most popular televised cooking program. She is also a best-selling cookbook author.
Nordstrom, who cites her parents as her biggest culinary influence, grew up working in the kitchen of her family’s country inn just outside the Swedish port city of Helsingborg. Like her peers on the world stage, Nordstrom developed a knack for complementing traditional Scandinavian cuisine with influences from other cultures.
