SUMMARY:Online Curator Talk: Tova Brandt
DESCRIPTION:New Nordic Cuisine is currently on display at the Swedish American Museum. In this virtual talk we get to meet with Tova Brandt who is the Executive Director of the Museum of Danish America in Iowa. The Museum of Danish American curated the exhibit. \nAbout the exhibit:\nThe cooking traditions and innovations of the Nordic region have captured the attention of the world and inspired chefs and home cooks alike.  In 2004 the Nordic Food Manifesto articulated a set of values for approaching food through the lenses of local production\, seasonality\, tradition\, and innovation\, among others.  The manifesto and reactions to it have sparked a robust dialog about food culture\, both in the Nordic countries and around the world.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Dr. Don Grossnickle - My Maja: A Grandson's Tribute
DESCRIPTION:My Maja\, A Swedish-American Proud Grandson’s Tribute by Chicago’s Dr. Don Grossnickle \nMaja\, a young roaring twenties Swedish adventurer set sail on a luxury steamship to New York and on to Chicago in 1922 for a visit to relatives. Maja fell in love and spent the rest of her life pursuing the American Dream. Adversity challenges were extreme for a widowed single mother of three balancing long hours as a night nurse and running a boarding house. Ups and downs while being alone in a hostile struggling America during the Great Depression almost killed her. Maja claimed her Swedish upbringing\, character and faith carried the day. History has not taken note of the great guts\, gumption\, perseverance\, determination of Swedish women immigrants. The book\, My Maja\,-is meant to awaken history and to keep Maja’s\, “framåtanda” fully alive forever. \nCome and chat with Don Grossnickle about the Swedish-American Spirit living in each of us today. To register for this event you an email museum@samac.org or call 773.728.8111. Fika (coffee and treats) will be available for purchase.
