A Scandinavian in Jacksonville
Yet I also find similarities between Scandinavian and Floridian cuisine. A great example is the availability of fresh seafood in Jacksonville. Fish is a main ingredient in my native cuisine, and fortunately I realized soon after I moved to Florida that I would be able to find a lot of great fish here. The extensive local variety has been inspirational, and I am excited to use seasonal fish in my Scandinavian recipes.
