Our Nordic Julia Child

Celebrated local chef and author, Beatrice Ojakangas, has spent her career committed to preserving Nordic and Scandinavian cuisine. Through her cookbooks, plus radio and TV appearances, Ojakangas makes cooking and baking accessible while foregrounding quality ingredients.

Join us for a special screening of Baking with Julia featuring Beatrice Ojakangas as she demonstrates how to make a variety of Danish pastry pockets. The moderated conversation after the screening will feature stories about both Bea and Julia from Eleanor Ostman (former recipe columnist for the Pioneer Press), Soile Anderson (founder of Deco Catering), and Elaine Kumpula (Honorary Consul for Finland), as well as a virtual appearance by Bea herself. Conversation will continue at the reception afterwards.

The event starts at 11:00 am in the 3M Auditorium. This free program will feature a screening moderated conversation with Bea Ojakangas, a Q&A session, and reception with light refreshments. Registration is recommended, but not required.

If you're unable to attend in person, the event is also accessible virtually via Zoom: https://mnhs-org.zoom.us/j/88287515969.
