My guest today is Swedish-speaking Finnish chef Christian Tikkanen, the founder and secretary of Finlands Svenska Måltidsakademi aka Finlands Swedish Food Academy.

Christian also introduced Finlands Svenska Måltidsakademi and their activities.
At the end of the episode, Christian has a question for you, and we hope to see your answers as a comment below!
