Chef André Chiang shocked the global culinary community when he announced on 11 October 2017 that he would be closing Restaurant André on 14 February 2018.

The seed for Nordic Odyssey was planted more than two years ago, when, during a dinner at FINDS restaurant, Executive Chef Jaakko Sorsa took us on a culinary tour of his homeland. There were diver scallops from Norway, wild game pâté with rowanberry jelly from Finland, Venison Rydberg from Sweden, open-faced smørrebrøds from Denmark, smoked mackerel from Iceland, and Lapland pancakes covered with cloudberry and lingonberry. Behind each dish was a tradition and a story: how the fish are caught, how the game is hunted, how the fruits are preserved. I tried to imagine what it would be like to go to all of these places with Jaakko as our guide and capture for our readers the beauty of the people and the landscape and the cuisine. Now we are sharing all of that with you.
