THE Swedish Embassy launched its first and biggest culinary event recently to raise awareness on the country’s cuisine and to promote cultural exchange between Sweden and Malaysia.

The 10-day event, called Culinary Sweden — A Great Food Nation, started with a cooking lesson by award-winning Swedish chef Michael Elfwing, who took members of the media and food blogger through a full-course Swedish meal, at Starhill Culinary Studio.
