I chat to Magnus Nilsson about his epic new publication (The Nordic Cookbook, which has 700+ recipes that he collated from the region – including 400 recipes that he personally tested at home and features some of the 8000 photographs he took of the area), whether he believes as many World’s 50 Best judges actually visit his tiny restaurant Faviken, why a sandwich can tell you a lot about a country’s cuisine, what it’s like to eat puffin and the recent time he got pulled over by American cops.

  1. I walked past Magnus at Rootstock and was shocked I didn’t know what to do. Well, really, I did nothing and just breathed shallowly as he walked on by. lol. Thank goodness for your podcast where you asked all questions necessary!

    Have a very happy new year Lee Tran! I sense that 2016 will be filled with even greater successes for you 🙂

      Helen, I love your story! I hope your breathing levels returned to normal shortly after. 🙂

      Thanks so much for your lovely words. Happy new year to you, too. I look forward to all the amazing culinary discoveries you’ll make. Congrats on all your mega achievements of 2015 – can’t wait to see how you inevitably outdo all of them next year!

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
