TEM sharing international knowledge via international ‘come dine with me’ .

Swedish design, fashion, music, film and cuisine are known and loved around the world. With a buzzing cultural scene, world-class museums and historical sites and events, Sweden is the perfect place to find inspiration and new energy. After all, the creativity, inspiration and culture that bred famous global brands like Ikea, H&M and Ericsson, or new technologies such as Skype and Spotify is Swedish.

Sweden values quality traditional, natural produce. And with a growing list of Michelin star rated restaurants, Sweden’s chefs are now celebrated globally. But you can also get to the source of your food in Sweden. Have a wilderness lunch from a fire pit in Piteå. Eat smoked reindeer meat or ‘souvas’ with the Sami people. Savour fresh Swedish bleak roe caviar in Kalix. Join a ‘surströmming’ fermented herring feast in Norrland or catch and cook your own lobster on a seafood safari off Sweden’s West Coast. Jamie Oliver loves Swedish cuisine – we think you will too. Around 500 world-leading chefs and food journalists gathered in central London in April for the prestigious World´s 50 Best Restaurants Awards. Three of the world’s 50 best restaurants can now be found in Sweden. More info on: www.oystersworld.com/newsletter/pdf/oysters-sweden.pdf
Midsummer is the most important celebration in a Swede’s calendar. The successful midsummer never-ending lunch party formula involves flowers in your hair, dancing around a pole, singing songs while drinking unsweetened, flavoured schnapps and downing a whole load of pickled herring, sill served with delightful new potatoes, chives and sour cream. All in all? A grand day out.
