Episode 5: Interview with Chef Chris Helgesen from the Embassy of Norway

In this episode of The American Table Podcast, I catch up with Executive Chef Chris Helgesen in his kitchen at the Embassy of Norway. We discus Chris’s favorite things about his time in the U.S. and the values behind his cooking.

As we chat, Chef Chris cooks a delicious dish featuring Norwegian reindeer and cream cheese. The recipe is available to our paid subscribers here: https://www.theamericantable.org/p/reindeer-and-cream-cheese-canapes
