This autumn in issue 21, Food by National Geographic Traveller (UK) is exploring Scandinavia, celebrating some of the best culinary experiences Norway, Sweden and Denmark have to offer.

From Copenhagen’s vegan offering to seafood in the Norwegian fjords, we sample the best of a region where simple ingredients have always gone a long way — and where both traditional recipes and modern menus draw on nature’s bounty, be it forest-foraged mushrooms and berries, local fish, wild game or a rainbow of seasonal vegetables.

Glen Mutel, editor of Food, said: “It may be something of a cliché, but Scandinavians have a reputation for their quality of life. Our cover story adds fresh fuel to this notion, providing a dazzling culinary snapshot of a region that’s surely on every food-lover’s must-visit list.”

Also in this issue, we follow the chowder trail in Nova Scotia; enjoy a family meal in Buenos Aires; and explore the historic chocolate shops of Turin. All this, plus the highlights of Berlin, São Paulo and the French region of Savoy.

In addition, expect the usual mix of thought-provoking features and easy-to-follow recipes from world-renowned contributors.
