Whitney Love

Whitney Love is an award-winning food and occasional travel writer. She runs the English-language food blog thanksforthefood.com where she documents her love affair with Norway through the lens of traditional and modern Norwegian gastronomy.

"Norwegian cuisine can be categorized as rustic, with a strong focus on good quality raw ingredients. New Nordic cuisine is a more modern take on using locally sourced and traditional ingredients found throughout Scandinavia. Norwegian chefs are some of the best chefs in the world and in recent years, have been winning the awards to prove it," says Love.
