    Norwegian chef Andreas Viestad follows the spice trail along the Indian Ocean in Where Flavor Was Born. He is a food writer and television host of PBS' New Scandinavian Cooking, where he cooks outdoors in a makeshift kitchen. He combines the simplicity of Tuscan and Provencal cooking with fish, game and ingredients native to Norway and believes food should be fun, simple and flavorful. His first English language cookbook is Kitchen of Light.
