The New Nordic movement

The New Nordic movement is a culinary trend that emphasizes fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients from the Nordic region, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland. It advocates for a return to traditional cooking methods while incorporating modern techniques. This movement celebrates biodiversity, sustainability, and a deep connection to nature, often highlighting foraged foods and reimagined Nordic dishes. Popularized by restaurants like Noma in Copenhagen, it has influenced global gastronomy by promoting dishes that reflect the distinct flavors and cultural heritage of the North, all while prioritizing health and environmental consciousness.
