Sjur Midttun

Food and health writer. As a food writer, Sjur has written extensively in Norwegian, as a columnist for a leading Norwegian newspaper. Has published several cookbooks about traditional, Norwegian food but even so his culinary interest is not particularly towards the Scandinavian tradition. He has, for instance, written extensively about Italian and French food.

He is interested in recipes, but also the sociology of food, particularly food history. But lately his focus has turned to human memory, and he is currently writing a series of books on memory improvement.
