Nobel peace prize will be awarde­d in Oslo on Sunday­STOCKHOLM: Florists, lighting designers and cooks have been rushing around Stockholm’s Blue Hall transforming the bare brick interior into the stylish venue for Sunday’s annual Nobel banquet, while keeping all the preparations top secret. It’s a man’s world: Women scarce in Nobel Prize annalsFor this year’s event, the chefs intend to not disappoint Alfred Nobel, an inventor and Swedish industrialist who founded the prestigious awards and who was also known to despise traditional 19th century Swedish cuisine based on meat and potatoes. This year the Nobel dinner is expected to delight with chic, delicate, and slightly experimental food, offering culinary variations inspired by the northern lights and ice. “The first days are the most important,” explains Tom Sjostedt, the chef who created the menu for this year’s ceremony. The Nobel peace prize will be awarded in Oslo on Sunday.
