Giorgia Vezzani
To everyone visiting Isfjord Radio in 2025: Prepare to gather around the table for an unforgettable dining experience at our historic outpost on Kapp Linné. Meet Giorgia, the talented 26-year-old chef whose passion for food and Arctic nature is a perfect recipe for creating magic in the wilderness.
With a doctorate in gastronomy and a background in food science, Giorgia brings both knowledge and creativity to every dish she serves. Growing up in a small village in northern Italy, her journey began in local delicatessens and led her to Parma, the heart of Italian culinary tradition. Driven by curiosity, she expanded her horizons to explore global cuisines, from Asian flavors to Nordic ingredients, before landing on Svalbard to take on the ultimate challenge: crafting Arctic-inspired cuisine in one of the world’s most remote outposts.
Giorgia’s love for the Arctic goes beyond the kitchen. She’s captivated by the seasonal transformations, from the soft blue light of February melting into shades of purple, to the fiery orange and pink sunsets as summer fades.
At Isfjord Radio, Giorgia masterfully combines local ingredients with her Italian heritage, creating meals that are both nourishing and unforgettable. Her energy, enthusiasm, and attention to detail make every dining experience a celebration of flavors and Arctic culture.
To our future guests: Prepare your taste buds for a gastronomic adventure, and don’t be surprised if you leave with a newfound love for Arctic ingredients and Italian flair. With Giorgia at the helm, every meal is a masterpiece.
