Aska : Phaidon Press : 9780714875774 : 0714875775 : 25 May 2018 : Aska is the debut cookbook from chef Fredrik Berselius, following the reimagining and rebuilding of his two-Michelin-starred restaurant. He celebrates the heritage and tradition of his native Sweden, his connection to upstate New York, and a deep appreciation for the restaurant's home in Brooklyn. Berselius shares his culinary journey of Scandinavian flavors and techniques through the courses of his exquisite seasonally-driven tasting menu, which features ingredients from an urban farm and local producers across the Northeast United States. With a stark and poetic Nordic aesthetic, Aska includes 85 recipes, evocative personal writing, and stunning photography. "Mr. Berselius is the rare chef who thinks like an artist and gets away with it." -Pete Wells, New York Times
