Author Talk: Scandinavian Everyday with Nichole Accettola

In Scandinavian Everyday: Vibrant, Simple Meals from Northern Europe (Ten Speed Press), chef and IACP award-winning author Nichole Accettola presents contemporary Scandinavian cooking as it is truly lived: uncomplicated, practical, and deeply connected to the rhythms of daily life.

Drawing inspiration from the cuisines of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, the book offers bright, pared-back recipes made with whole grains, vegetables, and thoughtfully sourced meat and fish, all adapted for the American kitchen and grocery store.

Nichole Accettola is a CIA trained chef and the owner of Kantine, a Scandinavian inspired eatery in San Francisco. Her work has been featured by the San Francisco Chronicle, Time Out, and Eater. She is the author of the IACP award winning cookbook Scandinavian from Scratch, which she presented at the Belvedere Tiburon Library in 2025.
