Trine Hanhnemann: Midnight Sun
About this episode
Gilly Smith interviews Danish food writer Trine Hahnemann about her cookbook 'Midnight Sun' and the cultural significance of summer food.
This week we're with Danish food writer, restaurateur and campaigner, Trine Hahnemann and her latest cookbook, Midnight Sun . This is a book about long lazy summer days - cycling to the beach, stopping off to buy strawberries from a local stall, peeling shrimps to eat with homemade mayo and bread.. But under the haze of a Scandanavian sun, food for Trine is about much more than a picnic. It’s about history, time, geography and culture, a sum of the past and a warning about the future. Gilly asks how the simplicity of a long hot summer could say so much. Pop over to Gilly's Substack for extra bites of Trine and a recipe from Midnight Sun.
