Come and engage your taste buds with a nice tipple of Danish lager or ale at this year’s Scandinavia Show. Stefan Kappel, the Managing Director and brewer at Randers Bryghus (Randers Brewery), is making a special guest appearance on both days of the show 9-10 October. Kappel will be holding an in-depth presentation about Randers beers, which also includes a tasting of their finest brews.
On the 9-10 October 2010, please listen to the grumbling in your tummy, and make your way to The Scandinavia Show at Olympia Conference Centre in Kensington, London, for a taste and a tipple of the best Scandinavian produce and brands out there. You will not be disappointed by the wide range of exhibitors, as there will be something for everyone, from Norwegian waffles for those with a real sweet tooth to Finnish vodka for the thirsty liquor connoisseur.
Scandinavia is going to be on everybody’s mind and lips in London later this year, when The Scandinavia Show hits the city. More than 100 exhibitors will showcase and sell the best brands that Scandinavia has to offer in fashion, food, design and culture at a two day show.

After releasing her second cookbook in English, The Nordic Diet, Trina Hahnemann is set to tour the UK with cooking demonstrations and debates. Scan Magazine’s own food guru Bronte Blomhoj had a chat with the healthy Dane.
It happens every year: the cold winter months take you by surprise and you need extra fuel to keep you warm. Then the festive season comes around and, suddenly, you have a whole spare tyre around your waist that not only keeps you cosy and warm but also wobbles in a funny way when you walk. Before you know it, people are calling you “lardy boy” (even to your face) and you know it is time to bring out the dreaded scales.
How many of us can claim to have a king buried in our back yard? Swedish wine maker Göran Amnegård, for one, passes the burial site of the Viking King Blackemost mornings on his way to inspect his vines.
Ho ho ho, finally, it’s that time of year where you can get away with wearing patterned jumpers, silly hats and sport a red hooter and still expect to be taken seriously.
If you wish to feel the London buzz, be seen and grab a bite after work, Soho is the place. That is exactly what we want to do, and we are not alone; all Londoners seem to be out on this last warm summer evening.

When most people think of the Scandinavian seasons, they either think of the bitter cold and round the clock dark winter days – or the vibrantly colourful summer season with its rolling green hills and sparkling silvery lakes (although, some, admittedly, think only of blonde women, Ace of Base and meatballs, but these [...]
