Aarne Pekkala

“The true taste of Lapland is rooted in its pure, wild ingredients.”

Aarne Pekkala in the kitchen, in an apron and a cap

Aarne was born and raised in Rovaniemi. He cooked for years in Finnish restaurant kitchens before founding Lapland Deluxe Catering, the kitchen behind table.

He cooks from the season: Arctic fish caught fresh, berries picked by hand in the forest. Some evenings that is a traditional Lappish table, some evenings a modern northern menu.
