ARCTIC MEAL
Course 2 // Graved ptarmigan with blueberry reduction, pickled chantarelle, Swedish capers and red beetroot crisps
Vegetarian or non-vegetarian?
One of the major challenges in the "Arctic Meal" project for me as a vegetarian was deciding, whether the dinner should be vegetarian or non-vegetarian. I usually always strongly advocate for food that is entirely vegan or vegetarian at events in Germany, but this time the aim was to understand the identity of a region. After many conversations in advance, including with the chef Jonathan, who by the way is himself a vegetarian, I then decided that the dinner would only work if it represented all facets of a culture shaped by fish and meat.
#PTARMIGAN is affected by shorter winters and an unstable snow cover which cause a mismatch between its white winter plumage and a dark, snow-free landscape, making the birds more vulnerable to predators. Warming temperatures also lead to shrub expansion across tundra and moorland, reducing suitable habitat and altering food availability.
#BERRIES in northern and Arctic regions (such as cloudberry, lingonberry, bilberry/blueberry, and crowberry) are also strongly threatened by climate change: The main threat is not warming alone, but disrupted seasons, disrupted flowering and pollination. Disrupted snow conditions, insects, and ecosystem shifts.
TRUMPET CHANTARELLES is not disappearing outright, but climate-driven instability is turning a once reliable late-autumn mushroom into an increasingly uncertain presence, a marker of a northern forest losing climatic consistency. We served BLUEBERRY wine with and without alcohol with this dish.
[I was an artist in residence at #Ricklundgården in #Saxnäs, #Sweden for the last weeks and created a conceptual meal ("Arctic Meal") in cooperation with the local chef Jonathan Johansson illustrating the impacts of the climate crisis on northern Sweden and the #Arctic].

ARCTIC MEAL
Course 1 // Kelpsalad, kelp kaviar, coral flan, soya aged egg yolk, smoky wasabi foam
For each course of the dinner, we identified a selection of key ingredients that formed the foundation of the dish. Complementary ingredients were then carefully chosen to complete and refine each course.
In northern and Arctic regions, #ALGAE are strongly affected by climate change. Rising sea temperatures, melting sea ice, and ocean acidification alter light conditions, nutrient cycles, and habitats. Ice-dependent microalgae lose their living space as sea ice retreats, while COLD-WATER #KELP FORESTS are stressed by warming and increased storm activity.
ARCTIC COLD-WATER #CORALS are affected by the climate crisis through a combination of environmental and human-driven changes. Rising ocean temperatures disrupt the narrow thermal tolerance of these corals, negatively affecting their growth and reproduction. At the same time, ocean acidification, which is particularly pronounced in cold waters, hampers the formation of their calcium carbonate skeletons and weakens existing reef structures.
WHEAT farming in northern regions is threatened by the climate crisis mainly through more frequent extreme weather. Warmer winters reduce snow cover, which exposes winter wheat to frost damage. Increased rainfall causes waterlogging and fungal diseases, while heat waves during summer shorten grain filling and lower yields. We used the #wheat to create the coral flans.
We served SWEDISH WHITE WINE with the course. Due to global warming, it is now possible to grow wine in southern Sweden.

#Narwhals become quieter as the #ArcticOcean grows louder
As global temperatures continue to rise, the acoustic world narwhals depend on is rapidly shifting throughout their range, from northeastern #Canada and #Greenland to #Norway’s #Svalbard archipelago and #Arctic waters in #Russia. It’s getting louder. Increasing shipping traffic is interfering with the #whales’ ability to hunt and communicate.
