The Nordic Street Food Revolution starts now! Every year millions of people in the Nordic countries visit football games, street festivals and food markets.The foods served at these premises are rarely exciting or innovative. However, street food is a growing business sector world-wide.
- As part of the New Nordic Food program, we have launched a project, which focuses solely on Nordic street food. To kick off the work we have arranged a two-day conference in Malmö on the 5 and 6 February 2013.
- When managing the food activities at Malmöfestivalen in 2010, the largest festival in the Nordic region with 1,5 million visitors, my mission was to raise the quality and increase the diversity of the street food being served. Today, street food is unfortunately often synonymous with greasy, semi manufactured foods. My aim is to bring homemade food made of fresh regional produce and with Nordic flavours to the streets, says Charlotta Ranert, project manager, New Nordic Food.
- As our key note speaker we have invited the UK’s leading expert on street food, Richard Johnson, journalist at the Guardian, food critic and BBC broadcaster. Richard Johnson is also the author of “Street Food Revolution”, in which he describes the rapidly growing street food scene in the UK. He also initiated the British Street Food awards with Marco Pierre White, and his company is now working as a consultant with big name retailers who want to learn from the energy and ideas that street food is bringing to the restaurant scene.
The conference is open to visionary people within the food sector: existing or budding Nordic street food companies and entrepreneurs, organizers of pop up events, food entrepreneurs, food writers and people in the hospitality industry. The conference is organized by New Nordic Food in cooperation with Taste of Skåne/ Skåne Food Innovation Network.
