"A cultural institute in the Twin Cities that will host the first three conversations in the Synergy Series; those conversations are part of the program’s effort to have guest chefs share experiences and inspire others and will be moderated by leadership coach Alison Arth." - Serena Maria Daniels
"I'm pleased that this year the visiting chefs will also lead public conversations at the American Swedish Institute about their personal journeys and will take questions from the audience; those talks correspond to the Synergy Series dinner dates." - Joy Summers
"I went to a Viking-themed cocktail party at the American Swedish Institute billed as a “museum party done right” — a Nordic night out complete with actual Vikings, music, food, rune carving, a viking costume contest, and falconry training inside an actual castle." - Matt Gundrum
"Based on an ancient Scandinavian tradition that celebrates summer and the new season for crops, the ASI event focuses on Swedish music and dance, offers culturally appropriate clothing and accessories for sale, and features ASI’s café FIKA serving its take on Swedish fair food; it’s a chance to frolic in the green with the whole family in the shadow of a Minneapolis castle." - Matt Gundrum
"I'm excited that Magnus Nilsson is making his triumphant return to the American Swedish Institute to promote The Nordic Baking Book: he's throwing a baking party on Sunday, November 4 with a slew of local chefs participating (including Blake Meier of FIKA Café; Diane Yang of Spoon and Stable/Bellecour; Solveig Tofte of Sun Street Breads; Scott Graden of New Scenic Café; Eva and Fari Sabet of the Swedish Crown Bakery; Carrie Riggs of Café Alma; Anne Andrus of Honey + Rye Bakehouse; Karyn Tomlinson of Corner Table; Steve Horton of Baker’s Field Flour & Bread; John Kraus of Rose Street Patisserie and Patisserie 46; Ky Guse and Mel Guse of GYST, among others). There are two related events that day: an 11:30 a.m. baking-party session ($75, includes baked goodies and a signed copy of Nilsson’s new book) and a 3:30 p.m. afternoon conversation with Nilsson (general admission $15) with an opportunity to buy and get books signed." - Joy Summers
