I am passionate about Nordic cuisine and local ingredients with clear origins. My food is seasonal and consists of simple, pure flavors. For me it is important to be in direct contact with the producers, it is easy to succeed in the kitchen with good raw materials. I believe in healthy and nutritious food to feel good physically and mentally. I am inspired by new food trends but always return to the classic Nordic home style. I often cook vegetarian and vegan, but I like to use local game meat. South Africa is my second home and I am always inspired by the South African food and wine culture.
