Tune in to U Look Hungry as Helen Hollyman chats with Chef Fredrik about his inspirations, passion for foraging and future culinary plans.

“The longer I’ve been in New York the more I’ve looked back at where I’m from – flavor memories, etc. I wanted my food [at Aska] to represent how I think and feel.” [2:15]

“I like being outdoors. I like going out and picking whatever I can find for the restaurant. There are a lot of things growing in New York all over the place.” [9:00]
