The Road to Paradiso

Norwegian title: Veien til Paradiso

In The Road to Paradiso Jan Vardøen tells the story of how a rootless young British boy ended up as one of Norway’s leading restaurateurs. A story that begins with dishwashing in a ramshackle London restaurant, takes a detour via a boat-building course and bar jobs aboard a storm-tossed Hurtigruten cruiseship, and ends with a slap-up meal at a table of the restaurant the owner has put his heart and soul into.
