Patrice Johnson

Patrice Johnson is a Nordic food geek and meatball historian. She is a food writer and recipe contributor for a variety of local and international publications, and her food column “Called to the Table” appears weekly in the Gaylord Hub. She is the author of Jul: Swedish American Holiday Traditions and Land of 10,000 Plates: Stories and Recipes from Minnesota.

Lutfisk lover and surströmming visionary, Patrice longs for the day when Minnesotans embrace the delicious (occasionally odd) cuisine of her heritage.
