Where the hell did Andreas go? Over the last few years anyone who is anyone has fallen in love with this man and his love for his country’s cuisine. Even the sponsor’s commercials in the beginning sent shivers down my spine, who can forget the chug chug of the King Oscar sardine boat?
Recently I heard a rumor that Tina Nordstrom had taken the wheel. I was in shock and wanted to know, “Yeah, okay, but where the HELL DID ANDREAS GO ?!?” and “Why are networks so closed mouthed about what goes on and why?” Dammit.
Last night Tivo left New Scandinavian Cooking with Chef Tina Nordstrom for me and I set aside the time to give the show a shot. It was then clear that Andreas was gone and New Scandinavian Cooking was about Scandinavia and not specifically Norway and Andreas. They gave him a few seasons, now it’s Tina’s turn. Tina is to share with us her culture and cuisine, which happens to be Sweden. Hot, tall blonde women, Volvos and some episode of Sponge Bob comes to mind. Remember, I’m keeping an open mind. Tina starts out kinda awkwardly talking about a Midsummer nights meal. They have a big celebration and apparently have a maypole, cool. She does her first meal on a little folding table and I figure, “HA, Andreas got away with his kickass Ikea-like portable kitchen!” Score one for Andreas. Nope, the portable kitchen showed up for her second course. Score one for Tina.
It’s painfully clear why the she was chosen. The woman can cook and she does it better than well. Once she gets in to cooking mode, she loosens up a bit. The name of this episode was and is, Midsummer Nights Cream. Given the abundance of fish in Scandinavia, I’m sure some salted fish will be going in to that cream. And probably some dill and a few other things such as berries. And I was right, two of her main dishes had just that. I’m sure they’re wonderful, but I’m not interested. Heavy cream and herring? Shudder. However, she did finish off with this huge creamy strawberry cake. I can dig that baby, strawberries are good with creamy love.
I miss Andreas a lot and hope he surfaces soon on a well produced PBS series in the coming season. At least I have the first two seaons, but I’ve seen them all and was hoping for new ones. Tina Nordstrom is a new one and they’ve plopped her directly in to the New Scandinavian Cooking model. I don’t think that was fair for Tina, she has some big shoes to fill. I believe it would have been a better move to rewrite the show for her, who she is and her ways. Kinda like sharing your neighbors underwear, it’s wrong on an odd level.
That being said, Tina is a very capable chef and I wish her all the best. I’m sure in the following episodes she finds her crease and does really well, Good Luck Tina!

Underwear and crease in the same story. I am aghast.
Yeah, sorry about that. I knew I was crossing the line there, but it had to be done. It felt right.
At first glance I thought it may be his wife. So they replaced him with a hot blonde. Gotta love that.
I was kinda giggling because the show had quite a few of them wandering about. Hot blondes with Swedish accents, it’s too good.
Biggles
Well, Im willing to give her a chance, but your right, they should have just given her a whole new show…and kept Andreas!!!!
I had the opportunity to hang out with a whole lot of Scandinavians for several years, a while back, and they are for the most part, followers of the natural style of food gathering, food prep, eating and so forth. They like meat, potatoes, greens, vegies (in season and by hothouse cultivation) and non yeast cracker type breads, especially something called Wasa. They are into fish, cheese, eggs and fresh anything in season.
Ditto the Finns, Lithuanians, Lativians, Estonians and Russians.
Anyone living in a heavy Nordic/Siberian region needs solid food to be able to handle the long, often hard and cold winters. No foolin’ around! Deermeat is a regular for a lot of people up there. Knowing how to marinade it properly so that it is tender and cooks well is a real achievement.
Maybe Tina will get into substantive food as the season here cools down.
Haha, this is hilarious. I’m one of “them” you speak about. A proper blonde swede with the accent and all. Maybe I should inform you that (at least in the major cities) in Sweden we have a very multicultural kitchen with huge influences from Italian and French cuisine as well as asian and other.
Deermeat is a regular?! Sweden is a long country and I would say most of the population never even tried deermeat. I have, but it’s just cause my parents happend to be a bit hippie-ish. Also we do like hard bread but eat more yeast type breads.
You were right about on thing though, we like things natural. No shortening or artificial stuff. Butter, cream, meat and so on is the way to go.
Anyway, I was really amused to see this post. Tina is huge in Sweden, everyone loves here cheeky and happy style and I had no idea she had become international. Hope they will let her personality shine through!
Hey E,
Yay, I’m so glad you stopped by. This makes the post worth my time and effort.
I’m hoping they let the real Tina out too. Her introduction and explanation of the festivities on this specific show I saw, she was awkward and it didn’t seem to flow very well. It didn’t come from the heart and if it did, they need a new writer or two.
And as I said, once she started cooking, that’s when you sawr some vision as to what she’s up to.
Thank you so much E for dropping by.
Biggles
Having just come from a holiday to Norway and Sweden, I was somewhat disappointed that a third season with Andreas didn’t happen. This new season is a bit untidy in my estimation. Clunky and not nearly as well produced. I looked at the credits closely and it appears the entire production team is completely different. From the theme music to transitions, it looks too raw and definitely doesn’t convey Sweden yet. I think Australia actually.
Tina Nordstrom is undoubtedly hot. But time will tell if she has the charisma to keep the show together like Andreas did. So far I find her goofy and cluttered in her style. Quite unlike her fellow Swedes, perhaps that’s why they are so entertained by her.
jeff
Hey Jeff,
No, I was SURE I saw the same camera guy, I recognized his name, I’m sure. There must be a few from the same crew, but you’re right. It isn’t the same and they’re trying. But they don’t have it, yet.
Biggles
In response to “‘e’ the proper blonde Swede with accent and all” I would like to add a great HELLO and glad we can exchange views about the other side of the planet!
I was privileged to know many Swedes during the years 1993 to 2001 while working in Lithuania. I was a guest at several receptions at the Swedish Embassy in Vilnius and also a guest at the homes of several diplomatic personnel posted to Vilnius. I travelled with the Consular officer and several other Swedes on many excursions and that is how I learned about the cuisine tastes of Swedes in general along with other Nordic peoples.
Certainly, yeast breads were served, particularly at Winter festival time and Santa Lucia celebration. But, for the most part, the routine dining was as I described before.
I have been to Stockholm and I know about the multi-cultural kitchens available. Certainly, these are everywhere.
Personal cuisine tastes did not vary from what I spoke about earlier. In fact, my friends and colleagues regularly travelled back and forth to their homes in Sweden and returned with large rashions of salmon and Wasa bread. Frankly, I will tell you that on special occasions, we washed a lot of it down with Absolut!
I am greatly indebted to my wonderful Swedish colleagues and friends for their unabated support and assistance during the time that we spent together from 1993 – 2001!
Here’s another comment from a Swede in the US…
Tina has for several seasons had her own cooking show in Sweden. The show was hugely popular, so popular that stores ran out of special ingredients the day after a show! Everyone was watching. She is very well liked and also has written several cookbooks.
I hope this new show is a success too, just wish it would be shown in the Detroit area.
Hey Pernilla,
Really? Nothing in the Detroit area? Odd. Not even on any of the Public Broadcasting Stations? Well, give them a call and find out why and write a letter!
Biggles
We in the north of Sweden need food with lots of meat. We hunt most of our meat ourselves. We also vork hard and make the cuckoo clocks our country is famous for. When we have a party we eat big smorgasboard. I can eat entire smorgasboard my self!
We need stength to be able to survive the cold. There is always snow in our country. We must also be able to fight the viscious polar bears.
Hehe, that last post about polar bears and cuckoo clocks was quite funny – I hope everyone understands the irony… Polar bears in Sweden, *duh*… đ
Being a Swede myself, although living in the south-west part, but having friends from the northern-most parts of Sweden, I think I would have heard about Polar Bears… đ
Anyway, glad to see that lovely Tina Nordström is making a success “over there”, she is really loved by us back home, although lots of shows about cooking and food is very popular, like, for instance, the english cook in “naked chef”, and many other shows too… đ
Sweden is more and more influenced by other cultures, and pasta is now more common than potatoes for instance, even though the dish potatoes and meatballs always will be on the top ten list of most requested dishes… đ Also things like Thai and Sushi are very popular for lunch here in Sweden, as well as food from India and several other places… At least in the bigger cities…
Glad to see so many comments about Tina Nordström, even though I can understand she has some big shoes to fill, and I hope she will be more relaxed in the upcoming shows too – even though I haven’t seen these new shows yet, aparently they will show them on Cable here in Sweden too! đ
Take care, and good luck to Tina! đ
Best wishes from Sweden! đ

New Scandinavian Cooking on PBS with Swedish Chef Tina Nordström
The beauty of Sweden is on full display in New Scandinavian Cooking with Tina Nordström, a new TV series premiering on PBS in the United States this September.
Equal parts travel, cooking and adventure, the series is a culinary journey through a land of breathtaking sights and irresistible food. Host Tina Nordström is a professional chef and the author of three acclaimed cookbooks on Swedish cuisine. A mainstay on Swedish TV, she was voted the country’s most popular female television personality for two consecutive years.
Armed with a custom-designed, portable kitchen and an appetite for excitement, Tina showcases the best of Swedish culture and food. The same curiosity that drives her to tackle the physical challenges of the region â such as ice-swimming, paragliding and reindeer racing â leads her to also seek out and reinvent some of the country’s finest recipes.
From savory seafood dishes and hearty winter stews to creative desserts and pastries, Tina brings an elegant simplicity to the preparation of traditional ingredients and the creation of thoroughly modern meals.

Well,,,she aint stupid because she is blonde…if you prefer the old school… then stick to the swedish chef in The Muppet Show.
If anyone shouts “SURSTRĂMMING” to you, you should take cover. IÂŽts rutten fish:-P
Check facts next time. Thank you for your time to listen.
Condolences, Sympahty and sorrow to Our friend in West , The land all disasters keeps as home adress now hiting: Katrina, Rita, WTC
Who The Hell Cares??(Sorry Andreas. I thought you were refreshing as well) Here you have a Smoking Hot Blonde with a great sense of humor and cute accent. Plus she can cook!!!! This is the best cooking show of all time!!! I am totaly in love with this woman and I am not even partial to blondes!!
How hillarious was the episode from west central Sweden with the Swedish Cowboys playing Swedish blues around the campfire! I fell out of my chair.(sorry I grew up in Montana) My God this woman is perfect!
I hope Andreas finds another show . He was really good and I enjoyed his enthusiam amd teaching skills. I wonder who the Finn and Danish cooks will be. It seems they are going clockwise around the horn.
Tina Is A Goddess!
Whull, I care. I had my teefs all set for Season #3 to roll along. In any case, yeah Tina is doing really well. I sawr another episode the other night, still a bit awkward and the production crew has a lot of polishing to do. Good nonetheless. I wonder who’ll be next?
Hi everyone
Seen the swow a few time when I lived in the states (I”m in stockholm right now) and to be quite honest…the only reason this girl is getting so much hype is because she is hot…for sweden she is average cause she looks just like every other girl..in america the average woman well…lets not go there!!!
End of story!!!
I live in Utah check out the Swensons, Nielsons, Olsons ands their sen (Dane) endings, Mine are sens. Norwegian Independance Day is celebrated here.
Blondes are everywhere here.
Tina is hot because she is attractive, funny and can cook!!!
On their site it has Andreas listed as in Norway and Tina as in Sweden. Looks to me as if they are covering the region. Maybe a chef for a different country.
Andreas was an incredible chef the way he tackled the grill but after watching two episodes of the new season it is clear that Tina is a to caliber chef also. Be interesting to see what they do next.
I just saw the new show for the first time and had to search for info on the show and Tina Nordström, which led me right here. With a high ranking on many key words I can see this page is going get a lot of hits into the future.
Well, the show is still good, and she’s a treat!
http://www.aptonline.org/aptweb.nsf/vOtherDocs/Interview-Tina+Nordstr%C3%B6m
Tina is superb!! Her style, personality and cooking ability is yet to be topped. She makes cooking look fun and entertaining. I love her show and hope she continues with many new seasons to come. I’m looking forward to her publishing a cookbook of all her tasty and easy to follow recipes.
Tina is sweet!
She’s got ghetto booty and speaks with marbles in her mouth. (funny as hell)
Andreas is much better and big ups to the swede who says she is of average looks in sweden.
I’ve had a huge crush on Andreas since I first saw the show–so awkward, and cute, and (seemingly) shy, but clearly talented and intelligent. I too was disappointed when I heard they were switching hosts for the new series, though it fit since the show is called New Scandinavian Cooking rather than New Norwegian Cooking. I do like Tina–she’s actually a lot like Andreas, though she seems more confident than he does. The same personality traits factor differently in women than they do in men. She’s growing on me with each episode I see, too. I don’t like to call her “hot,” though, because that connotes some kind of model-type perfection to me, whereas Tina seems more like a slightly tomboyish but pretty girl-next-door type.
My Gosh!! It just keeps getting better all the time!!!! Now she is hunting!!! Whats next? A one tonne(euro spelling) turbo diesel Ram 4×4 and a Bass Boat??
Let’s see Blonde, Hot, Funny, Cute Accent, Hunts, Fishes and can cook…… Add the truck and boat and she is every red blooded Americans man dream. I wonder if she watches Nascar??
Hey MD,
I couldn’t agree with you more. She’s really rolling along now and doing far better. I still feel the camera work isn’t nearly as nice. But that’s just nitpicky stuff and I wouldn’t score that against Tina.
Ya know, if Tina gets a few seasons, I wonder who they’ll get next?
Biggles
I just started watching this show and am completely addicted. I dont see what difference it makes as to what Tina looks like. I dont even care for the food, I just enjoy the scenery and history of the country. I noticed in this weekends episode that she has knives with her name on them, anyone know where I might find these? I may have to buy the episodes with Andreas, I never saw them.
Hey Mel,
You never seen the episodes with Andreas? Really? I’m sure they’re on some channel at some time, you’ll need to watch some of those.
It might be too late to have the initial impression though, since you’ve already seen Tina and it’s all in the past.
See if you can’t find an episode or two, just for fun.
Biggles
Now she scuba dives!!!! Where was she when i went diving in the South Pacific? This woman is so perfect she as to be some cyborg created by Electrolux…..
Now for the Swedish audience she needs to come here and tour America. Do Southern cooking and especially the BBQ tour, California and Northwest cooking etc… That would be three seasons by itself.
I saw my first episode last week on Lemon Chicken with Andreas and checked out the website, http://www.scandcook.com. Yesterday I watched the show again, this time with Tina and enjoyed the Christmas episode. Like she said herself, she did look out of place with the other girls all in bikinis and her more covered up. The hot tub did look very inviting, though. As much as I hate the cold weather and cold water, I cant believe I’m contemplating on trying a scuba dive this January in Bethlehem, Pa. http://www.dutchsprings.com
I havent even told my dive instructor yet. And to think Tina scubas also.
Keep Tina on the show! Shes the most gorgeous chef on TV. The only reason I watch the show is because of her. I never even heard of the show till she came along. I’d watch any show with her in it! She has the best personality and her recipes are fun. Keep her on instead of that guy Andreas so I can continue to watch.
Alex
I can’t agree more!!! Last time I checked ScanCook,Andreas is coming back for a two year deal. I like Andreas I find his enthusiam infectious. They SHOULD NOT!! sacrifice Tina however. Tina is just the hottest thing in cooking shows right now. I think they need to bring her to America. If she is here then maybe we could see her 26 weeks a year. The Ming Tsai series “Cooking Under Fire” left me completely disgusted with American cooking shows.You couldn’t find three banana republic dictators with larger egos than those jokers.Those clowns define “Pretense”. Tina in contrast is a breath of fresh air.
Hej Tina!
Min hustru Ingrid och jag Tommy har en förfrĂ„gan angĂ„ende “Ă€kta Svenskt kaffe”. Var i USA 1963. Fick kaffe tllagat avmormorn till familjen vi bodde hos. Hon var frĂ„n dalarna. Hon slog i en Ă€ggula i kaffebönorna?. Har letat efter mail pĂ„ SVT men kunde inte hitta. Ser pĂ„ BBC FOOD, Vi tycker du Ă€r en frisk flĂ€kt i matlagningen.
BÀsta hÀlsningar
Ingrid, Tommy och vÄr Newfoundland Ronja!
Whats with Tina’s tasting anyway. If that is the way a Chef should do it I may want to swear off international dining out. I’m talking about eating off the cooking spoon, blowing to cool off food over the cooking pot, dipping same spoon for second taste, using tasting spoon to stir dish. If that Is how cool, hot blondes do it I guess I know why I prefer brunet’s!
I don’t really understand it
Tina is presenting SWEDEN!
Andreas is presenting NORWAY!
Andreas covered a lot of our norwegian cuisine, heritage and culture.
I guess the problem is financing!
When you don’t sell norwegian products because thousands prefer “american cheese” instead of Jarlsberg at one point the sponsor is leaving…
I love to get reminded by Andreas and all kinds of preparation my grandma used to do. I learned a lot and like this year I will take on the tradition of a norwegian christmas in America.
I’m not a fan of Tina, but she does only represent Schweden, and thats fine. I don’t mind that she is a blond, tall female, but I dont like her way of talking, preparation, cooking and presenting.
Scandinavia is a nice peace on earth, beautiful in nature and warm-hearted people.
So discover the rest of Scandinavia, its not only Norway, remember its also Finlandia, Denmark and Greenland…
But a great show would be from Iceland too, all the myth and landscape would make a grandious cooking show!
Here in the Seattle area we just got the first episode of the Tina series. Sigh…I was so looking forward to Andreas. We have quite a Skandinavian enclave in the area. In fact, my son was born at Swedish Hospital. I really enjoy getting the holistic look at a culture’s food the way they do it on this show with the cool outdoor kitchen. Do you know what the URL is for her recipes? I tried what I thought it was scancook.com, but it was about home decor. bugger!
Here in the San Francisco area Tina is a huge hit.
She cooks simply, but it’s wholesome and wonderful
tasting. She is a darling and natural girl and I can see why she’s so popular on Swedish TV. We love you in San Francisco Tina!
My Tivo (I wonder if that is Swedish?) captured an episode of New Scandinavian Cooking. I must tell you it was great! Tina Nordstrom is so easy on the eyes, she is fresh and can cook too!
I would like to know more about her. Does she ever come to the US? I am thinking about making a trip to Sweden just to watch her cook!
At any rate I have added this show to my list of favorites. I can’t wait to catch the next episode!
I love your show, and the receipies.
just saw tina for the first time. great concept and the production should smooth out. this episode had a soup and a whitefish recipe. i can’t seem to find the soup recipe anywhere. any ideas?
We’re glad you like the shows — we do to! You’ll be glad to know that Andreas will be back with a third season of “New Scandinavian Cooking with Andreas Viestad” in September 2006. Let your local PBS station know that you want more! Tina just had a baby, so a second season with Tina is a little further off. We’ll let you know when it’s confirmed.

I am a bit confused. I thought Tina did 2 seasons already? Isnt she on her 3rd now? I LOVE HER SHOW. She is great. I HOPE she will continue on every season. If she had a baby, thats great, but I hope she still continues her show without any delays. Lov eit very much!!
Hey Mike,
Yup, you’re cornfused. Andreas did 2 seasons and Tina did 1. Andreas is rumored to do his 3rd season, then I imagine Tina will return. I believe Tina just had a baby, so it’ll be a bit.

I have had several Swedish friends and Tina’s accent sounds abit odd. Was she born and bred and in Sweden? i was thinking maybe a northern Swedish accent? Or maybe I am FOS! Just wondering. Thanks.

I am extremely very happy that you finally brought back ANDREAS VIESTAD, HE IS THE CHEF,and TINA ,a cook, Thanks again for brining back Andreas.

Re: Bob’s comment on Tina’s odd accent. She’s from the southernmost province of Skane (rhymes with Mona). This province was under Danish rule for several hundred years, and retains some of the more gutteral speech qualities of its former overlords.
Hey Allan,
Thanks for stopping by, nicely done.
I wish I lived in a country that was once populated by overlords, neat.

I just checked the website, and Andreas will be back next season. This does not make me happy, as I enjoyed Tina much more. Hopefully, there will be more seasons and they will at least alternate, or they will find someone else to do the other scandinavian countries (fairness and equal time…)
I love this program. I discovered a recipe from my grandmother that was lost for many, many years. I hoe Tina continues. I love her recipes, it brings back many warm moments. Judy
What is the ISBN of Tina Nordström’s Cookbook: “A culinary tour of Sweden”. please?
It is obvious, the women prefer Andreas and the men prefer Tina, and I also thought Andreas from Norway was even more interesting than Tina.
I sure miss Tina, this Andrea guy stinks like 3 day old fish
All I can say is that I love Tina’s show and wish that she would make more shows for American TV. It’s true that Tina is goofy (not your typical Swedish blond stereotype). This is why I love her. That Jewish harp music at the beginning of her show? Doesn’t that say it all? That little charming, “Heysan!” that she says when she greets us… She is just adorable. As a home cook and gourmet foodie, I find her recipes accessible and fun, just like the host. The food matches the personality. Both are genuine and real. Love it! I’m not a fan of Andreas, really, but I hear they are making another season of Scandinavian Cooking with a Danish host. We’ll see!?

As a side note…could anyone imagine if a future season will cover Icelandic “cuisine”? Now that would be absolutely hilarious!
Their national pride: Ăorramatur is absolutely drop-dead disgusting. Rotted shark meat that smells like Windex, charred lamb heads, pickled ram testicle cakes and black pudding sewn up in a lamb’s stomach….BARFOLA!!!

like your cooking & the nice way you do your cooking.
i love cooking tips very helpful.
Are any of you people actually aware of this show. Tina was on for a few seasons befor either of these guys. They are both very good, but Tina has done some great stuff. She was on this show for years.
Hey Stevie,
We’re only aware of what shows we’re sent and allowed to watch. I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area and unless you have a DVR it’s darned impossible to find any of the New Scandinavian Cooking. It’s the same with the BBC, we only see what they send us. This would be 1 channel and they pick the shows for us on that as well.
When new Scandinavian Cooking hit over here, Andreas was touted at the first. The web site mentioned the same along with his book being the first we’d seen from the show. Tina showed up 4 years ago here.

Are you producing new shows with Tina or just reruns?

Tina is great, she has what it takes for the long haul. Come see us in Florida.
Thanks.
I just finished watching tina nordstrom in the episode where she cooks cod with carrots and turnips for vegetables. She’s great! Loved the show.
01/10/10 I just watched a program on pbs with Tina as the host. She made some sort of pie made in a sring form cake pan. It looked really good but I came in 3/4 into the episode and never got the name! It was a savory sort I think because cheese was put on last could you please give me a list of possiable choice’s? I would really love to find the one I’m looking for or just find one or three to enjoy! Thank you so much for any help ! Sonsie Hollingsworth đ

I just saw Tina Nordstrom on USA TV and I wish to say she speeks very good english and is a great cook. My wife is a 2 generation Sweed and her maden name is Betty Jane Pearson and I have been married to her for 54 years this may 31st. She is also a great cook and I have to hand it to the sweedish people they are the cream of the crop
Tina is not a new face on SCANDINAVIAN COOKING. I remember her well from a few years ago. I fell in love with her then and am still in love with her now.
Hey Captain Dan,
Uh, did you check the date on this post? September of 2005, nearly 6 years ago. Yes, she was new then, sorry pally boy!
xo, Biggles
Hi Friends of Tina!Can anyone tell me how I can find her cooking episode that were aired the first half of january 2011? Danka for any information.
As a chef of 30+ years, I say:
“Tina!” “GET YOUR FREAKING SLEEVES OUT OF THE FOOD!!”
If I saw you do that in MY kitchen, you would be instantly FIRED.
Even the newest bus personnel knows that’s a huge no-no! Yeesh.
Just wanted to comment on Tina, and her very sweet presentations and her explanation of Scandinavia. She is very personable and an excellent presenter.
Of course, Andres is the best.
These two are very interesting in their ways of showing their love of their country and cooking.
The other gal & guy – not so much.
I have watched thirty years of chefs on american tv. Ms Nordstrom tops top five. Stay on american tv. god bless. your good and refreshing. No your cooking is excellant. We need this in america instead of fast food etc. good for you, best success! go girl.
