Day two will feature a variety of cooking techniques and will end with a dinner to celebrate your new knowledge. Chef Graden is well-known for his innovative yet approachable food, as well as his willingness to share his ideas. Open your mind (and your mouth!): this is Scandinavian cuisine like you’ve never had it before.
