After many meetings I had in the last days with Jonathan we now have a plan for all the 5 courses we will serve in the frame of the conceptual dinner ("Arctic Meal") next week. A lot of the ingredients we chose come from the area. Philip is also involved and already produced spruce syrup which we will need for one dish.
Spruce trees in Northern Europe are threatened by climate change because rising temperatures and longer dry periods stress the trees. Warmer conditions also allow pests like bark beetles to survive and spread more easily, causing widespread damage. In addition, more frequent storms and extreme weather events can uproot or weaken spruce forests, making them less resilient overall.
We invited around 10-12 people to join the dinner (premise and kitchen are small), most of the ones we asked are in, some unfortunately have to work or will be away but I think its going to be a great group, all are very open and interested.
It´s slowly coming together.
