New Nordic is not a cookbook. It’s a vibe. Published by ACC Art Books, this beautifully brainy book zooms out from the plate and looks at the whole Nordic table. Food, yes. But also art, architecture, design, craft, landscape, and the big idea of living in step with nature. Because in the Nordic world, dinner is never just dinner.

Created alongside the exhibition New Nordic. Cuisine, Aesthetics and Place at The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, it traces how the New Nordic movement reshaped not only what we eat, but how we think about seasonality, sustainability, and everyday beauty. Text in English and Norwegian, visuals for days, and enough thoughtful design crossover to make your coffee table feel very well read.
