Intro to the Nordic Table with Patrice Johnson

Join Patrice for an introduction to ASI’s Nordic Table program in this demonstration-based class. As we prepare and share a light meal, we’ll explore the central tenets of New Nordic cuisine, including seasonality and locally sourced ingredients, and their applications to today’s Midwestern tables. We’ll also touch upon how environment, migration, and trade have changed and preserved food traditions in both Scandinavia and Scandinavian-American communities over the past 150 years. Our menu and discussion will share just how diverse, colorful, and nutritious the Nordic Table can be!

This is a demonstration-style class and includes a light meal. Coffee and tea provided; additional beverages are available for purchase before class. Please note this menu contains fish, pork, gluten, and dairy (with a vegan main dish available), so please reach out if you have questions about dietary accommodations.
