Cooking classes & food courses

Courses 2024

During the festival there are foraging, mixing, baking and cooking classes held at our partnership hotel Britannia Hotel, featuring the city’s best chefs, teachers and artisans. The classes are popular as they teach people how to understand food traditions as well as new food trends using high quality local produce and practicing food sustainability.

How do you make the worlds best cheese?

Join the winner of "World Cheese Awards 2023" Maren Gangstad from Gangstad Gårdsysteri in a course that will take you behind the scenes in how their cheeses are made - from the first drops of fresh milk to fully matured cheese.

Of course, there will be tastings of several of their famous cheeses.

N.B.: If you have a gluten allergy, this must be stated when registering!

Berries and tarts

Head pastry chef of Britannia Hotel, Cathrine Nilsen, will show you how to make the perfect summer tart with fresh and local ingredients.

Cathrine will explain flavor compositions and the combination of sour and sweet, what suits the season and how the visual impressions are just as important as taste

Wild and sweet temptations from nature

It is a myth that all wild plants taste bitter, nature offers a great variety of flavors reminiscent of, among other things, vanilla, pineapple, almond and licorice. Jim André Stene will go through species and plants that are suitable for dessert, and give an overview of what can be made from them.
