Meet Andreas

Andreas Viestad is your host and chef in the first two seasons of New Scandinavian Cooking. Andreas is one of Norway’s most famous TV-chefs and a respected food writer. Nobody brings to the table a combination of culinary and cultural expertise quite like him.

 
Andreas is different from many of the other chefs that you see on TV. Cooking with Andreas is not only about the how-to of cooking. It is also a rich learning experience regarding the traditions, culture and lifestyle of both the old and modern-day Norway. He gives you the fascinating story behind every ingredient and dish.
 
An Established Food Writer
As a culinary expert, Andreas has written about food as a journalist for leading Norwegian newspapers and radio stations. In 2003, he published his first English language cookbook titled “Kitchen of Light: New Scandinavian Cooking”.
 
A New Approach to Cooking
Andreas combines the elegant simplicity of Provencal and Tuscan cooking with the raw materials of his native Scandinavia.
The result is a completely new approach to cooking -- a range of delicious modern dishes with a history dating back to the Vikings.
 
Fun, Simple and Flavorful
Andreas has a natural talent for seamlessly incorporating a modern twist into traditional cooking, and for enriching new recipes with time-tested traditional ingredients. His bottom line philosophy is that cooking should always be fun, simple and flavorful.
