Ep.1 Magnus Nilsson: Flavour
In our very first episode, Franco talks flavour with the chef, educator and grower Magnus Nilsson.
Magnus came into the spotlight as the innovative head chef at Fäviken — the progressive 24 seat restaurant in the Swedish countryside that drew international acclaim before closing in December 2019. His book, Faviken 4015 Days, Beginning to End, covers the lifespan of one of the world's most memorable flavour experiences, combining Magnus' frank, insightful reflections on food and the hospitality industry alongside all the recipes that came out of Fäviken.
Today, he's breaking new ground as Academy Director at MAD, where he equips chefs with the skills and resources to make more informed choices and enact positive change. The conversation starts at Axelstorps fruktodling, the fruit orchard where Magnus and his wife nurture 28 varieties of apple tree, 12 of pear and the incredibly rare Black Star Cherries.

People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavor, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.
By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.
Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
