Professor 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 located in Sweden.

 

He has lived overseas in multiple countries, including China, Great Britain, Germany and currently resides in Stockholm.

 

He published a comparative study about Covid-19's influence on food supply for cities that had different lock down policies - including Stockholm, London, Singapore, Sydney, Seoul and Wuhan - and looking at the 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 were 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!
