Join the wife of the Norwegian Ambassador to the U.S., Mrs. Ellen Vollebaek , author Gail Scott , and the Norwegian Embassy's new chef, Thor Gabrielsen , tasting Norwegian food —from appetizers to desserts, in Washington, D.C., on October 24.
You will “taste history”—from appetizers to desserts—with food reflecting the fascinating eras of Norwegian cuisine. Experience samples of food from Norway's 100 years with typical ingredients. Norway is famous from more than salmon and cheese. Let yourself be transported to this northern land of dramatic fjords and midnight sun, Oslo’s jazzy cafe life, and hearty winter sports.
After a warm Nordic welcome, learn pointers from one of Norway's culinary masters (recipes are available). Mrs. Vollebaek shares with you the history of the stately residence and serves a tasting buffet. See why an invitation to dine with Ambassador and Mrs. Vollebaek is always coveted.
Moderator Gail Scott, author of Diplomatic Dance: The New Embassy Life in America, is a columnist and contributing writer for The Washington Diplomat.
