These photographs, taken by chef Magnus Nilsson, aim to take viewers on a culinary trip through the Nordic countries of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. They're part of the exhibit currently showing at Union Station, called Nordic: A Photographic Essay of Landscapes, Food And People.
Nilsson was assigned by Phaidon Press to document the origins of Nordic cuisine. The result was a collection of 700 recipes in The Nordic Cookbook ? and 8,000 photos, the best of which are included in this exhibit.
Presented by the Los Angeles Times Food Bowl and the American Swedish Institute, A Photographic Essay of Landscapes, Food and People features Nilsson's original travelogue photography with accompanying narratives that he wrote while conducting research for the project, according to a press release.
