SOUNDBITE (English), Roberto FLORE, Head Chef of Nordic Food Lab, "Gastronomy is not a static entity, gastronomy is something that has to be renovated and have to be like, every time we need to add diversity in gastronomy.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberto FLORE, Head Chef of Nordic Food Lab, <p>"We are mostly interested in researching on deliciousness. So we are more interested in the point of taste. Because if an ingredient is not tasty, we can have so many nutritional properties but the people are not going to eat it really. So the most important thing has to be taste."</p>
