The future of cooking : Gastronømad | : Electrolux

Electrolux asked some of the world’s most influential food critics and chefs where to go if one is looking for the next big thing within the culinary world. The answer is... Top 4 Trends To get the lowdown on what really goes on in the world of top tier cooking a survey was conducted among the members of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy (*). We asked them what they thought would be the dominant trends for the coming two years. Among the respondents amost 60 percent thought local focus is going to continue to be the number 1 trend. In second place came bistro styled restaurants followed by slow food and street food, was placed in as fourth. “I think that the trend is to feel closer to nature. Not to transform to much in the product, but to create it to give it in a kind of simplicity to the guests, so you can feel really good taste of the products. I think that the future trends is probably very close to whas is happening” says Anne-Sophie Pic, winner of the World’s Best Female Chef award 2011. Chefs vs. Critics Beef Although most of the participants in the survey seemed to be of one mind there were some differen-

ces. As an example luxury restaurants only rated as the fifth most important trend overall. But, interestingly enough, both chefs and restaurateurs rated luxury restaurant as the third most important trend. Among the food critics however, luxury dining didn’t even make in to the top five.

Scandinavia rule the plates When asked the most influentail food trends are coming from Scandinavia seems to be cooking up the coolest dishes at the moment. Danish top restaurant NoMa being selected as the wordl’s best restaurant three years in a row is clear sign that food is hot in the cold north. Simplicity and fidelity to the ingredients seems to be a sign of things to come since the second mos influential cuisine is the Japanese, having the aforementioned qualitites in common with Scandinavian style cooking. But the “new” world cuisines aren’t the only ones with a bright future. The cuisine perhaps most associated with great culinary art of them all, the French is ranked as the third mos important trendsetter.

Total Local

59,1 %

Bistro-style

Slow food

21,5%

Street food

17,5%

Luxury

Home cooking Molecular gastronomy

15,0% 9,1%

So... the answer is “a Scandinavian bistro style slow street food restaurant with Japanese influences focusing on local ingredients”.

Home grown veggies on the rise The next big thing is vegetables, and preferably from your own garden

: Gastronømad | : Electrolux

Vegetables is the next big thing René Redzepi, chef of Restaurant NoMa (world’s best restaurant for the third year in a row) told us that vegetables are going to be the trend ingredient number one. With meat having been in focus lately things seem to be about to change. “For me I think we are going into a period where people are going to eat a lot more plants and vegetables and they are going to begin using those type of ingredients more and more. They will then discover that they don’t need to depend so much on animal protein to feel fulfilled and happy”.

Local vs. Organic The battle for popularity between local and organic food has been raging for some time now. However, it seems as if local focus is winning over organic food. This is despite the fact that locally produced food isn’t necessarily better for the environment or the producer. Among the respondents 55 percent that say locally produced ingredients are going to be the main trend in the coming years, the same figure for organic food is 25 percent. Lately more and more fair trade products are made available in our local grocery stores. This might be a trend on the rise among consumers but the restaurant business doesn’t seem to be picking up on the good cause. Only 2.6 percent of the respondents consider fair trade production to be a major trend in the coming two years.

Local Garden Chef Sang-Hoon Degeimbre (L’air du Temps, Belgium) also puts focus on vegetables, having his own production of vegetables in a local garden. The garden is being kept and cared for by one of his team members and the daily yield dictates much of what is being served during the day.

Saffron

Safran / Azafrán : S.V. | : europesaffron

It is the world’s priciest spice, with a rich history dating back more than 2.000 years and spanning several cultures. But saffron can be something of a mystery to even the most inthe-know gourmets. Dishes with saffron are common in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. The minuscule red pistil injects a luxury colour and sharpness to Moroccan tagines, Spanish paellas, Marseille bouillabaisse and Iranian soups. Andrew F. Smith, a food historian and editor of the The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink, says recipes using saffron to colour bread and create bright frosting for cakes were common in the 19-th-century American cookbooks.

Gastronømad

C’est l’épice la plus chère du monde, avec une histoire passionnante, qui remonte à plus de 2.000 ans, et commune à plusieurs cultures. Mais le safran est avant un tout un grand mystère, y compris pour les gastronomes les plus avertis.

Es la especia, más cara del mundo con una historia fascinante, que se remonta a más de 2.000 años, y común a muchas culturas. Sin embargo, el azafrán es sobre todo un gran misterio, incluso para los gastrónomos consagrados.

Les plats avec du safran sont principalement préparés autour de la Méditerranée et au MoyenOrient. Le minuscule pistil rouge teinte d’une couleur précieuse les tajines marocains, les paellas espagnoles, la bouillabaisse marseillaise et les soupes iranienness. Andrew F. Smith, historien de l’alimentation et rédacteur en chef de The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink, indique que les recettes pour pains à base de safran ou pour effectuer des glaçages brillants pour des gâteaux, étaient monnaie courante dans le XIX S. dans les livres de recettes américains.

“Saffron takes time and effort to understand. It’s not like other spices where you just sprinkle it on food to flavour it. And it’s not something you can use by instinct, so home cooks and even some chefs may not necessarily be able to appreciate it” says Pat Willard, author of “Secrets of Saffron”. Indeed, incorporating the spice in recipes is a fine balancing act. Usually, just a pinch - around 50 pistils - is all that is needed to infuse a dish with this piquancy. Adherents swear that just the right amount elevates certain cuisine from ordinary to extraordinary but caution that overdoing it will result in a bitter taste.

Gastronømad

“Il faut du temps et des efforts pour comprendre le safran. Ce n’est pas comme les autres épices, où il suffit de les saupoudrer sur les aliments pour les parfumer. Vous ne pouvez pas l’utiliser à l’instinct. Que ce soit à la maison, pour une cuisine de famille, ou dans un restaurant, ce n’est vraiment pas facile de l’appréhender” explique Pat Willard, auteur de “Secrets de Safran”. En effet, intégrer cette épice dans les recettes est un geste qui doit maîtriser parfaitement le dosage. Juste une pincée - environ 50 pistils - est largement suffisante pour insuffler l’essence du safran. Les experts indiquent que la quantité juste élève un plat d’ordinaire à extraordinaire. Mais attention, restez prudents, si vous exagérez la dose il donnera à votre plat un goût amer et métallique.

“Se necesita tiempo y esfuerzo para entender el azafrán. No es como otras especias, que sólo necesitan ser espolvoreadas sobre los alimentos para darles sabor. No se puede utilizar instintivamente. Ya sea en casa, en una cocina de familia o en un restaurante, no es fácil de dominar” dice Pat Willard, autor de “Secretos del Azafrán”. De hecho, la integración de esta especia en las recetas es un gesto que debe tener una dosificación perfecta. Por lo general, sólo una pizca - alrededor de 50 pistilos - es suficiente para infundir la esencia del azafrán. Los expertos dicen que convierte un plato ordinario en un plato extraordinario. Pero tenga cuidado, sea moderado, si exagera la dosis dará al plato un sabor amargo y metálico.

It’s rarity and expense make the fascination with the zesty seasoning all the more intense. Originally from the Middle East, saffron was cultivated in the Mesopotamia Valley (Iraq). Today it is also grown in Kashmir, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Greece, France and Pennsylvania, where it was brought over by the Dutch in the 18 th-century. It still is cultivated in just a handful of regions because the crocus sativus, or purple flower, from which saffron comes, needs a very dry climate and intense heat to flourish. It takes three weeks in the fall for the buds to sprout and blossom into radiant, full-ledged, flowers. The filaments sold as saffron are the dried stigmas from the middle of the plant.

Gastronømad

Sa rareté et son prix le rendent fascinant. Son goût deviendrait presque plus intense. Originaire du Moyen-Orient, le safran était cultivé en Mésopotamie (actuellement l’Irak). Aujourd’hui, il est également cultivé dans le Cachemire, en Espagne, en Italie, au Maroc, en Grèce, en France et en Pennsylvanie, où il a été introduit par les Hollandais au XVIII S. Il est encore cultivé dans très peu de régions parce que le crocus sativus, ou fleur de crocus, qui contient les précieux pistils, a besoin d’un climat très sec et d’une chaleur intense pour s’épanouir. Il faut trois semaines à l’automne pour que les bourgeons fleurissent et s’épanouissent. Les filaments de safran que l’on retrouve à la vente sont les pistils séchés extraits du milieu de la fleur.

Su rareza y su precio lo hacen fascinante. Su gusto se vuelve casi más intenso. Originario de Oriente Medio, el azafrán se cultivaba en Mesopotamia (hoy Irak). En la actualidad, se cultiva también en Cachemir, España, Italia, Marruecos, Grecia, Francia y Pensilvania, donde fue introducido por los holandeses en el siglo XVIII. Se cultiva en muy pocas zonas debido a que el crocus sativus, o flor de azafrán, que esconde los preciados pistilos, necesita un clima muy seco y un calor intenso para florecer. En sólo tres semanas en otoño, los brotes florecen y se abren. El azafrán que compramos son los pistilos secos que se extraen del centro de la flor.

It takes 5.000 flowers to produce one ounce of the spice, so it is understandable that Persian saffron sell for 150 Euros per ounce in stores.

Il faut 5.000 fleurs pour produire une once, il est donc facile à comprendre pourquoi le safran perse est vendu au prix de 150 euros l’once.

Highly valued today, saffron was even more treasured in past centuries and is the centrepiece of several stories throughout the history. For example, in Nuremberg, the main city in the 15 th-century for goods entering Europe from the Mediterranean, merchants who attempted to add marigold petals to the strands and sell them as pure saffron were charged with violating the “Safranschou code of adulterating saffron”.

Même s’il demeure onéreux de nos jours, le safran était encore plus précieux autrefois et il a été l’objet de beaucoup de convoitises. Par exemple, à Nuremberg, la principale ville dans le XV S. pour les marchandises entrant en Europe via la Méditerranée, le règlement concernant le safran était très strict.

They were thrown into jail and, in some cases, executed. Pirates who attacked merchant ships coming into Venice stole saffron and left behind gold because the spice was considered more valuable.

Gastronømad

Les marchands ayant ajouté des pétales de calendula aux filaments, altérant ainsi le safran pur, violaient le code Safranschou. De ce fait, ils étaient jetés en prison et, dans certains cas, même exécutés. Les pirates attaquaient les navires marchands vénitiens afin de voler le safran, tout en délaissant l’or, car l’épice à l’époque était encore plus précieuse que le métal jaune.

Se necesitan 5.000 flores para producir una onza, esto explica el precio de más de 150 Euros por una onza de azafrán persa. Aunque hoy en día es caro, el azafrán era aún más valioso en siglos pasados y fue extremadamente codiciado. Por ejemplo, en Nuremberg, la principal ciudad en el siglo XV S. para las mercancías que entraban en Europa procedentes del Mediterráneo, el reglamento sobre el azafrán era más que estricto. Los comerciantes que añadían pétalos de caléndula a los filamentos, alterando así el azafrán puro, violaban el código Safranschou. En consecuencia, eran encarcelados y en algunos casos incluso ejecutados. Los piratas atacaban los buques mercantes venecianos para robar el azafrán, dejando de lado el oro, porque el azafrán en esos momento era más preciado que le metal amarillo.

The price is astronomical, the taste isn’t easy to describe and you can’t use it intuitively; Yet these very characteristics make saffron an indulgent, almost provocative culinary gem. Wild about saffron Each variety of saffron offers subtle differences of flavour: Persian The crème de la crème of saffron has a deep red colour, potent flavour and a dry and crunchy texture. Kashmiri The quality and colour is very similar to Persian, but the crop is comparatively limited. Spanish The texture is softer compared to other kinds, and the threads tend to have a yellow tinge. Greek Produced in Greece and Macedonia, the spice imparts a strong flavour and colour to dishes. Pennsylvanian Grown in Amish country in small quantities it can be hard to find. It also has a milder taste.

Albert and Jacks At first, when we realized they had four shops in town, we had doubts about the authenticity of the establishment (we the light chain-store). These doubts fled however as soon as we tasted their organic leavened bread. Excellent! Around town you will, of course, find places offering the traditional cinnamon pastries (Kanel Buller) but those of Albert and Jacks are incomparable. Baby food and muesli? Here, as with everything in the shop, the emphasis is on quality and simple ingredients. This is our favorite place for one (or two!) Fikka’s (a Fikka is a typical Swedish coffee break and it is always accompanied by pastries).

Au début, quand nous avons compris qu’ils avaient quatre boutiques en ville, un petit soupçon de «non authenticité» s’est installé. Ils se sont enfuis dès que nous avons goûté leur pain bio au levain. Excellent. Bien entendu, partout en ville vous trouverez des viennoiseries à la cannelle (Kanel Bulle) mais celles d’Albert and Jacks sont inégalables. Et que dire des aliments pour bébé et du müesli? Ici l’accent est mis sur la qualité et les ingrédients simples. C’est notre endroit favori pour un (ou deux!) fikka (pause café typiquement suédoise toujours accompagnée de gâteaux).

Al principio, cuando nos dimos cuenta de que tenían cuatro tiendas en la ciudad, tuvimos dudas sobre la autenticidad de este sitio. Nuestras reservas se desvanecieron cuando probamos el pan a base de masa madre. Excelente. Por supuesto, por toda la ciudad encontrará bollos de canela (Kanel Bulle), pero los de Albert and Jacks son incomparables. ¿Y qué decir de los alimentos para bebés y del muesli? Aquí, lo primordial es la calidad y los ingredientes sencillos. Esta es nuestra dirección favorita para una (¡o dos!) fikka (pausa típica sueca con café acompañado de bollería).

Restaurant AG Are you an incarnated carnivore? Then this place is for you. It is located on the second floor of an industrial building.

Etes-vous un carnivore assumé? Ce lieu est pour vous. Situé au deuxième étage d’un bâtiment industriel, la première chose que vous allez trouver en arrivant au restaurant est un réfrigérateur XXL servant à la maturation de la viande. Cela laisse présager les merveilles que vous allez déguster.

F12 Located at the Royal Academy of Arts, Danyel Couet’s restaurant is a place where you will immediately feel comfortable. Decorated in neutral tones with a touch of Scandinavian design, you will literally be spoiled by the staff in the warm atmosphere. The chef’s style is traditional and innovative at the same time. It is inspired by the classic techniques of French cuisine but uses excellent Swedish raw materials. Many dishes are completed in front of the customer, which adds an extra touch to the thought that one will have a wonderful evening. We recommend the blind tasting of five wines and the tasting menu which is an extraordinary symphony with unique fish and crayfish. Upon leaving the establishment, pause a moment to admire the swans swimming in the Baltic, in front of the restaurant. Fabulous dinner. Raised to the power of 12.

BARS Stockholm is considered one of the cities with the best bars in the world. Constantly inspired by London and New York, Stockholm is currently leading the trends. Located in an American cajun restaurant, Marie Laveau Bar is a favorite of the young. Live music and bourbon-based cocktails by Jimmy Dymott, Bartender of the Year 2010, is probably the key to the success of a place which is always full. A change of style, now toward the bar Le Rouge, where, in an interior of warm red velvet like a painting straight out of a Toulouse-Lautrec, bartender Andrés Leon will make for you the best absinthe cocktail in the city. It could not be otherwise! The two nineteenth century brick buildings that houses the Hotel Nobis Guldbaren hide a lounge with ultra-sophisticated design. Ask Robbie Radovic for a cocktail of strawberries and basil smash. He will recognize you as an expert and serve you your drink in a jam jar. So chic!

Chef & Sommelier &: Maria Canabal

Chef Sasu Laukkonen and I arranged to meet in a forest in the center of Helsinki to pick wild herbs. He arrived wearing a big smile and carrying a large (huge!) bag, accompanied by Johan Borgar, the sommelier of the restaurant. Noticing my surprise (I was rather envisioning “foraging” many miles from Helsinki, surrounded by trees and moose) and he said quite naturally: “You’ll be amazed what we find here. At first when I opened the restaurant, I thought about planting a garden with aromatic herbs ... but then I realized it was not necessary”. We have our “harvest” all around us.

Le chef Sasu Laukkonen me donne rendez-vous dans la forêt du centre d’Helsinki afin de ramasser ensemble des herbes sauvages. Il arrive joyeux, avec un grand (enorme ?) sac accompagné de Johan Borgar, le sommelier du restaurant. Devant ma surprise, je me voyais en plein «foraging» a des kilomètres de Helsinki entourée par les élans, il m’indique tout naturellement: -“Vous allez être surprise de la quantité de choses que nous allons cueillir ensemble. Au début, lors de l’ouverture du restaurant, je voulais créer un jardin avec des herbes aromatiques… mais… finalement, nous n’en avons pas besoin. Nous avons tout autour de nous”.

El chef Sasu Laukkonen me da cita en un bosque del centro de Helsinki para ir a a recoger hierbas silvestres. Llega sonriente, con una gran (enorme?) bolsa, acompañado por Johan Borgar, el sommelier del restaurante. Al darse cuenta de mi sorpresa, me veía mas bien “foraging” a muchos kilómetros de Helsinki, rodeada de alces, me dice con toda naturalidad: -“Le sorprenderá todo lo que vamos a encontrar aquí. Al principio, cuando abrí el restaurante, pensé en plantar un huerto con hierbas aromática... pero… me dí cuenta que no era necesario”. Tenemos todo a nuestro alrededor.”

It was wonderful! This includes the “Finnish asparagus” that grows in the wild here in Finland. It vaguely resembles a green palm bonsai and has a strong taste of chlorophyll. “We spent a lot of time gathering in the forests and we have close everyday contact with our producers” says the chef. When he opened Chef & Sommelier in 2010, Laukkonen established his own “manifesto”: A kitchen that is 100% natural, organic, local and seasonal. Or otherwise explained, all that comes out of our kitchen can be served to his three year old daughter. It is a kitchen of love, inspired by the book of recipes from his grandmother ... but that is not the only thing. There is something daring in their creations that makes them totally irresistible. An example? “Finnish forest marinated shiitake”. Part of the appetizers. Promising!

La cueillette ? Impressionnante. Notamment les «asperges» finlandaises sauvages, sorte de palmier bonsaï ressemblant vaguement à des asperges vertes avec un goût de chlorophylle bien présent. «Nous passons beaucoup de temps à faire la cueillette nous-mêmes dans la forêt. De même, le contact avec nos producteurs est quotidien. Nous savons parfaitement d’où vient chaque ingrédient» indique le chef. Lors de l’ouverture de Chef & Sommelier en 2010, Laukkonen a établi son «manifesto» bien à lui: une cuisine 100% naturelle, bio, locale et de saison. Ou expliqué autrement, tout ce qui sort de sa cuisine peut être mangé par sa fille de trois ans. Une cuisine du cœur, donc, qui s’inspire de la boîte à recettes de sa grand-mère… mais pas seulement. Il y a un côté déluré dans ses créations qui les rend totalement excitantes. Un exemple ? “Forêt de shiitakes bio finlandais marinés”. Le plat est présenté en apéritif. Prometeur!.

¿La “cosecha”? Impresionante. Incluyendo el “espárrago” salvaje de Finlandia, una especie de palmerita bonsái, vagamente parecido a un espárrago verde, con un fuerte sabor a clorofila. “Pasamos mucho tiempo en los bosques y el contacto con los productores es cotidiano. Sabemos perfectamente que origen tiene cada ingrediente”, dice el chef. Cuando abrió Chef & Sommelier, en 2010, Laukkonen estableció su propio “manifiesto”: una cocina 100% natural, ecológica, local y de temporada. O explicado de otra manera, todo lo que sale de su cocina se lo puede dar a su hija de tres años. Una cocina con amor, que se inspirada en la libreta de recetas de su abuela... pero no sólo. Hay algo atrevido en sus creaciones que las hace totalmente irresistibles. ¿Un ejemplo? “Bosque de shiitakes ecológicos de Finlandia”. Forma parte de los aperitivos. ¡Prometedor!

Sergiology

: Mara Grimm | : Tony Le Duc

On 18 June, Sergio Herman has presented his magnum opus: Sergiology. The master chef created the book/art object together with two of the best photographers in Europe: food photographer, Tony le Duc and portrait photographer, Stephan Vanfleteren. Sergiology is much more than a traditional cookbook. It documents the sources of inspiration and the creations of one of the best chef in the Benelux. Sergio Herman: “Sergiology relates to everything that made me what I am today, including some of my big sources of inspiration such as citrus fruit and the sea but also the work of artists such as Anton Corbijn and Luc Tuymans, designers such as Studio Job and Piet Boon, my peers including Rene Redzepi and Marco Pierre White and my wife, Ellemieke, of course”.

Audio device The interviews with the people in the book were conducted over a three-year period. Readers can use the audio device and headphones supplied with the book to listen to these interviews. As you look at the photos in the book you can hear these people talking about their life and work, as if you were visiting an exhibition and given an audio guide with information about the work on display. Sergio Herman also talks about the creative process of the dishes which he devised especially for this book. About what it feels like when you come up with something new and the constant pressure to innovate and be original. But he also discusses his private life: his youth, his children, Ibiza and the Zwin nature reserve. Finally Herman also elaborates on his much-discussed plans for the future. Recipes and diagrams In addition to the audio interviews Sergiology contains over 50 recipes, each consisting of four or five separate preparations. The recipes have been made more accessible thanks to diagrams, and have been completed with 60 basic recipes. Readers thus can regale themselves with 250 different preparations, which they can use, in combination or individually, to create their own amazing dishes. Limited Edition & sale The book and audio device have been packed in a luxury box, covered with black linen. The Dutch edition has been limited to 2,000 copies while the English edition is limited to 500 copies. What makes this book so unique is the online sale: fans can order the copy of their choice at www.sergiology.com. The book will also be available from a select number of book stores.

The edition for the foreign market contains a separate booklet with a translation into French and German. • Sales price: €195 (excl. shipping when ordered online).

About Sergio Herman Sergio Herman (1970) is the chef and owner of Oud Sluis in Sluis, Zeeland (NL). This restaurant was awarded three Michelin stars and is ranked in 21st place on the prestigious San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Herman also owns restaurant Pure C in Cadzand, the Netherlands. In 2013 he will open a third restaurant, called La Chapelle, in Antwerp. Delicate sour notes lend a light, airy dimension to his dishes. Herman’s great sense of beauty has also led to several collaborations with artists in other disciplines including the tattoo king Henk Schiffmacher, Sofie Lachaert and the designers of Studio Job. About Tony Le Duc & Stephan Vanfleteren Tony Le Duc, publisher and preferred photographer of Oud Sluis, photographed the dishes in Sergiology whilst Stephan Vanfleteren was in charge of the portraits. The fact that these two photographers each have a different style creates the right contrast: Vanfleteren’s raw black and white photos and the light pared down style of Le Duc’s photos come together in a fascinating visual composition. Designer Nej De Doncker provides the right graphic balance.

Abattoir It is probably the main food attraction of the World Design Capital. A food and design meeting place will be open to all in the Tukkutori Wholesale Market in Helsinki. The market will be open for four months. Farmers Market style markets, PopUp restaurants and design events will bring together people who are interested in food and urban culture. We have visited the space in June (work in progress!) and the reburbishing looks very promising. The red-brick buildings designed by Bertel Liljequist were originally built to house the Helsinki Abattoir in 1933. Most of the buildings are protected, and the area they form is earmarked on the plans for the retail trade. The other parts of Tukkutori will remain in use by the wholesale trade and food and drink production. Development of the Abattoir area retail trade is designated as one of the main aims in the City of Helsinki food culture strategy. The Abattoir area will develop in the future to form an active extension to the city’s other stylish cultural facilities, such as the Cable Factory, Korjaamo, and Suvilahti. The area will be an approachable, laid-back concept appealing to all the senses, which will be a certain source of the city’s finest specialities and which will also enable active participation. When planning the operation, models around the world have included the Meatpacking District of Manhattan and Kødbyen in Copenhagen. In the Greater Helsinki area, the most active forefront of culinary culture is currently represented by residents who are urbane, thirty-something in spirit, and themselves create and change urban and food culture. Good examples are the internationally noted Restaurant Day, the We Love Helsinki events, and the ever-increasing PopUp restaurants and events. The main target group of the Abattoir area will also be these pioneers, who have created completely new ways of generating culture and influencing their own environment. Tukkutori in Helsinki is an agency of the City of Helsinki, which lets premises and plots of land to wholesalers, as well as food hall and market traders. The Tukkutori services include a wholesale meat hall, freezer plant, wholesale greengrocery hall and a wholesale greengrocery market.

The form of good taste Elanto bakery started its production in Helsinki in 1907, and quickly became the largest bread baker in the capital region. Elanto’s oat bread was a popular product, which was created in 1960 and was produced all the way until 1984. Now the classic product of Finnish food design has made a comeback thanks to new technology. Elannon Näyttämö theatre is celebrating its 90th anniversary with the premiere of the Leipätehtaan naiset play (engl. Bread factory women), written by Pirjo Toikka and directed by Hanna Ryti. It is a story about a young woman who begins work at a bread factory. The story was kindled by interviews of previous employees, and has some connection to real life events, including reference to an international bread competition. The era is strongly depicted in the script, echoing the beginning of modernisation and triumph of technology. Performances are held on Saturdays from 8 October 2011.

And the list goes on: the barista competition of the year, beat lunch (the famous break where you eat and dance came from Sweden), honey in the roofs, the day the restaurant (where anyone can sell food, made by themselves, in public places), for all gardens (gardens planted in cities Gigabox capacity of 100 kg of soil), How much water do you drink (an excellent initiative that takes place every Tuesdays in a cafe to talk about the problem of drinkable water), the exhibition “taste and form” which will link between culture and food, homeless bus selling food and local ecological .... It’s now or never to go to Helsinki to take advantage of the many activities related to the culinary arts. A final recommendation: “Solar Restaurant”. You missed London or Stockholm? It does not matter, August 4 Chef Antto Melasniemi starts his pop-up restaurant again. In cooperation with Catalonian designer Martí Guixé, Antto will re-create a pop-up restaurant that is built of huge mirror-like solar cookers. Restaurant customers can watch their food being prepared. Introduced for the first time at Milan Design Week, a top restaurant operated by solar power is on display at Helsinki’s Kalasatama district for 10 days in August. The Solar Kitchen has been travelling around Finland all summer and has already been set up in Turku, Rovaniemi, Mäntyharju and Oulu. In the autumn, Solar Kitchen will be moving on to Stockholm. The uncertainty of Finnish weather conditions guarantees that meals will be unique and enjoyable. Depending on the amount of sunshine, the restaurant prepares everything from steak to salads, and plans are changed if the weather turns rainy or cloudy. Quick decisions are made depending on the conditions, and customers are sure to have a communal experience. The Kalasatama restaurant is open on sunny days from noon to 3 pm on 4-14 August. The lunch menu changes daily and is priced at EUR 15. Helsinki… more foodie than ever!
