Discover Niklas Ekstedt’s innovative approach to cooking with fire. Revive the lost art of ancient Nordic cooking techniques to create original dishes for modern times.
Chef and Restaurateur, Ekstedt (Stockholm) one Michelin star, and Ekstedt at The Yard (London)
Use open fire in a different but delicious way
For the very first time, Chef Niklas Ekstedt, teaches how to cook his way over open fire using old ancient Nordic cuisine techniques. Birchwood and smoke are his chosen tools. He’ll show you how to apply these techniques with seafood, fish, meat, birds and vegetables, in innovative ways to create unique dishes.
You will learn seven different recipes that have one thing in common – the fire – but each one is so different, and as Niklas says ‘they will blow you away’.
At the end of this online course you will:
- Know a range of cooking techniques using live fire.
- Know how to smoke with various ingredients, including hay and juniper.
- Be able to apply these techniques to a wide range of ingredients.
