The Chef, the Baker, the Comedienne and the Food they Love

Martin Fjeld / Anne-Kat. Hærland / Björn Svensson

This is a book about food made by one of Norway’s best chefs; about bread, made by an amazing sourdough baker; written by one of Norway’s wittiest women. The chef composes the dishes, the baker bakes and the comedian ties it all together with funny, and also serious and informative texts about everything from restaurant critics to food trends, to house-tidying-experts and their unrealistic tips for keeping your house, home and kitchen spotless. Don’t worry about Björn Svensson being a Michelin chef or that Martin Fjeld makes Norway’s best sourdough – the dishes in this book are easy to make. The instructions are clearly explained, and the flavors are out of this world. Anne-Kath. Hærland has also made interviews and written about Björn Svensson and Martin Fjeld, to help you get acquainted with the Chef and the Baker, and their passion for taking ingredients and flavours to new heights. The text holds it all together - great for bedtime reading or while the food cooks to perfection in the oven.

Art and Life

Kjetil Røed

Who does art have meaning for, and why? Art is a unique tool to work the question about who we are, and therefore also what a good life can be. In this book Kjetil Røed looks at ten different virtues - attention, judgement, withdrawal, curiosity, acknowledgement, hope, ambivalence, craftsmanship, love and solidarity - through works of art, with the ambition to exercise values using art as a platform. The result is a draft for "working with virtues", in this trying to show how it is to work with values. How the question about how we should live thinking about art also can be a way to understand ourselves - to partake in the wish to see a clearer connection, direction and whole - in our own life.
