Season 5
New Scandinavian Cooking is a cooking show produced by Tellus Works in which a variety of Scandinavian chefs showcase the different regions and dishes of their home countries of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
The first, second and fourth seasons were hosted by Norwegian food writer Andreas Viestad, the third season by Swedish chef and television personality Tina Nordström, and the 5th season by Danish Claus Meyer, continuing the Scandinavian theme of the show.
The food is not made in studio but outdoors, on a portable kitchen that is set up on location, often in faraway places, like remote beaches or mountain precipices.
Beginning in 2003, the show debuted on PBS in the United States. It is also aired in about 60 other countries, including China, Germany, Italy, France and South Africa. There are 65 half-hour episodes in five seasons.
New Scandinavian Cooking airs in South Africa on DStv's BBC Food channel. Season 5 has not yet aired in South Africa.
