After stints at some of the world’s best restaurants, Niklas Ekstedt founded the Michelin-starred Ekstedt in Stockholm, bringing innovative Nordic cooking to the world.

The award-winning restaurant uses only Scandinavian wood in their magnificent fire pit or their wood-fired oven, giving the food a truly unique character.

He has appeared on Saturday Kitchen and MasterChef, and has published a number of cookbooks. He lives outside Stockholm with his wife and two children.
