For me, this show is a wonderful combination fine cuisine, marvelous scenery, a little history, a little geography, a little culture, all captured with some fine photography and some wonderful hosts.

This show really checks all of the boxes.

New Scandinavian Cooking is a Scandinavian cooking show which, over the course of ten seasons, was hosted by Andreas Viestad, Tina Nordström, and Claus Meyer, produced by the Norwegian production company Tellus Works Television AS in collaboration with American Public Television (APT). A sequel series titled Perfect Day continued with the original hosts in rotation, with the cast addition of Sara La Fountain. It is also broadcast on channels such as AFC.

The success of the series is in part due to its original format, its hosts and the series production teams. The food is not prepared in a studio but executed on location outdoors, at a mobile kitchen often situated in faraway places, such as remote beaches or mountain precipices. The hosts showcase different regions and dishes of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Greenland.

The show has its own streaming service on Vimeo. In addition, select episodes can also be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

Love this series. Being of Norske heritage helps as a lot of it as it's the food I was raised with
I do find the lovely Tina Nordstrom just a bit annoying though. She's a bit too "perky" and not really the Scandanavian reserved dignity and extremely understated sense of humour that I'm used to.
Just a hint but if you put herring on it and serve it in rolled lefse it automatically becomes Norwegian.
Hot dogs (polse) with mustard, pickled onion and herring rolled in lefse was a childhood after school treat.

Oh, this looks like fun. I didn't like most of the food when I was in Sweden, but I did love the baking and a few other things (like traditional flatbread with holes in it). I'll try to catch some of the episodes - thanks

This is a wonderful menu,

Andreas takes us to the port town of Skien in Eastern Norway, which is the hometown of Norway's most important playwright, Henrik Ibsen. To honor this, Andreas makes herring salad and a dessert made with buttermilk. For the main course, he prepares a tasty dish of wild duck cooked over an open fire and served with seasonal vegetables.
