Renowned Danish chef tours U.S. to promote new Scandinavian cookbook

Well-known Danish chef Trina Hahnemann is in the midst of a U.S. book tour to promote her first English-language release, The Scandinavian Cookbook, published earlier this year.

As stated in her book and on her website, Hahnemann's philosophy about cooking is simple: "Food should be made out of the best, preferably organic, ingredients. It should be prepared with great care and love – without spending a whole day in the kitchen." Hahnemann has catered for numerous big-name rock bands and runs several in-house restaurants and cafeterias at large corporations and government entities, including the Danish Parliament. The Scandinavian Cookbook has earned rave reviews from critics and readers. (See the book's page on Amazon: The Scandinavian Cookbook)

Hahnemann has already made stops in Minneapolis and Chicago and will be in San Francisco for two events: a book signing tonight Omnivore Books and a seasonal cooking demonstration at the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture tomorrow morning. She'll then head to New York for guest chef appearances at Scandinavia House and the James Beard House. According to the Danish Embassy, Hahnemann will also be a featured guest at the New World Wine & Food Festival in San Antonio, TX, in mid-November.
