About this course
Since the 2000s, the Nordic region has been celebrated internationally for using local and seasonal products, reviving and adapting traditional cooking techniques, and combining good taste with health and well-being. In this course, you analyze Nordic food cultures through case studies in greater Copenhagen, where we explore traditional and innovative food practices with a particular focus on sustainability. By the end of this course, you will have gained a better understanding of central themes in contemporary food studies (sustainability, food media, globalization, hipster food, etc.) and a particular understanding of the Nordic context, including how the region has undergone a culinary revolution over the last decades.
