My new book now available!

Smakens makt (in Swedish) is a journey guided by the sense of taste. It’s about ingenius streetfood, fancy tasting menus and everyday comfort food, and about how to eat climate safe, healthy and still incredibly delicious. It’s also about the role of smell and taste in philosophy, politics and science. The incredible art direction by PJADAD and the masterly cover photo by Martin Vallin. All made possible by the publisher Mondial.
