Nichole Accettola

Nichole Accettola is an American chef who worked in fine dining in Boston for nearly a decade before moving to Copenhagen, Denmark. During her fifteen years abroad, she married a Dane, started a family, and worked as a chef in a variety of capacities, just as Nordic cuisine was emerging on the forefront of the global culinary scene. When Nichole and her family moved to San Francisco, she started baking Danish rye bread to sell at farmers markets, and the wild success of that venture inspired Nichole to open a casual and modern Scandinavian restaurant. Seven years later, Kantine is a thriving business known as the place to go for irresistible Scandinavian foods made from scratch, including wholesome breads, open-faced sandwiches, pastries, cookies and cakes. An everlasting love for this region of the world and the enthusiasm of those who frequent Kantine motivated Nichole to write her first cookbook, a baking book that shares recipes and tricks that she gathered while living in Scandinavia.
