Finnish chef Sami Tallberg takes Virtual Design Festival viewers on a live foraging tour of the forest surrounding his home as part of our collaboration with Stockholm Design Week.

Tallberg is a chef and food writer known for his books on vegan cuisine, foraging and wild food. During the livestream, he ventures into the forest to demonstrate how to forage wild ingredients and create a salad from the pickings.

Tallberg also spoke about biohacking, the positive impacts of foraging on wellbeing, and how spending time in nature can help people find solace during the coronavirus pandemic.

Tallberg is an advocate of New Nordic cuisine, a movement spearheaded by Danish restaurant Noma that focusses on inventive and sustainable use of locally and seasonally available ingredients.
