Just like Chinese people, Swedes also have a unique love for desserts. Chef Mattias Lundahl has therefore made an excellent dessert based on beetroot, which is abundant in Sweden. According to the chef, because the beetroot itself tastes sweet, it’s healthier to use it to make desserts without adding a lot of sugar. ‘Ambassador’s Gourmet Parour’ is a program founded by Sohu Food Channel that advocates the concept of “when footsteps cannot reach, taste buds can reach first”. This collaboration alongside Fenjiu aimed to break down the dimensional wall between diplomacy and the people.
