Coinneach MacLeod, best-selling cookbook author, baker and islander, takes his deep love of food, travel and island life on a journey through the culinary and cultural landscapes of the Nordic region. Sweden’s largest island of Gotland is known for its sunny climate and 13th century capital, Visby. Coinneach visits an organic farm to pick white asparagus and forages for wild garlic in the coastal woodlands. He explores the island’s past as a trading hub for the Hanseatic League, learning how imported spices and crops became woven into Gotland’s agricultural identity. Coinneach makes saffron pancake and, in a local bakery, helps bake Sweden’s famed green dome Princess Cake.
