This podcast episode features Johan Nordensvärd, an associate professor in management and technology at Royal Institute of Technology and also an associate professor in political science at Linköping University, both in Sweden.
He has lived overseas in multiple countries, including China, Great Britain and Germany and currently resides in Stockholm.
He worked on a comparative study about Covid-19’s influence on food supply for cities, including Stockholm, London, Singapore, Sydney, Seoul and Wuhan, that had different lock-down policies and looking at resulting impact.
He is a fellow food-enthusiast and started a blog and Instagram account that chronicle the restaurants he visited during the pandemic as he felt that a lot of them are in danger of closing; so he wanted to create a virtual memory of these places.
In this episode, Professor Nordensvärd talked about experiencing new foods, the rise and legacy of “New Nordic cuisine”, the current state of Swedish culinary and fermented herrings!
