Aster is welcoming Sweden’s Niklas Ekstedt in a celebration of the best Scandinavian culinary talent.

The fourth in the series of evenings showcasing remarkable chefs 'in conversation' with Richard Vines, Bloomberg’s chief food critic, whilst a four-course menu of dishes from Niklas's new book, ‘Happy Food’, is recreated by Aster's Helena Puolakka.

Niklas Ekstedt is globally renowned for reviving traditional Swedish cooking techniques, choosing to give up electricity and gas in favour of burning wood as the only heat source in his kitchen. Following opening his first restaurant in Sweden at the age of 21, he opened Ekstedt in November 2011 in central Stockholm, which now holds a Michelin star and continues to focus on cooking with fire alone, reinforcing his position as an innovator in the culinary scene worldwide. Tickets are priced at £70 per person, or £110 with wine pairing.
