Join us for a Special Cooking Demonstration
with Nichole Accetola!
We're thrilled to invite you into the kitchen of Kantine, Nichole Accetola's Scandinavian-inspired eatery in San Francisco, for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience!
During this special engagement, Nichole will demonstrate how to make Semla, the beloved Swedish pastry known as the Fat Tuesday Bun. Made with wheat flour, almond paste, cardamom, and whipped cream, Semla is a decadent treat that's perfect for celebrating the season.
Additionally, Nichole will be signing and selling copies of her cookbook, so you can bring a piece of her culinary magic home with you!

Nichole Accettola is an American chef who worked in fine dining in Boston for nearly a decade before spontaneously 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 pastries, wholesome breads, open-faced sandwiches, brunch dishes and comforting meals. An everlasting love for this region of the world and the enthusiasm of those who frequent Kantine motivated Nichole to write her first cookbook, Scandinavian from Scratch, a baking book that shares recipes and tricks that she gathered while living in Scandinavia. The book received an IACP award in the best baking cookbook category, and Nichole is currently working on her second cookbook which will be released in Spring 2026.
