Kokken på Svalbard

Show quick summaryHide summary

What it's about: Hallgeir, a burnt-out restaurant chef from Bodø, cooks for the scientists at the research town of Ny-Ålesund, where his harshest critic is an Italian glaciologist who complains about every plate of pasta. For the man's sixtieth birthday he plans the perfect cream cake, but on the day the supplies land, a polar bear gets to the cream first.

Ny-Ålesund ligger på Svalbard, langt nord for fastlandet, og er et av de nordligste stedene i verden der folk bor hele året. Det er ingen vanlig bygd. Det er en forskningsstasjon, der forskere fra mange land måler isbreer, luft og havstrømmer. Om vinteren bor det rundt tretti mennesker der. Om sommeren kan det være over hundre. Og alle sammen spiser i den samme spisesalen, som alle kaller Messa.
