Greetings from the kitchen! I’m Markus, Head Chef at Nivunki Village. I was born and raised in Äkäslompolo, half an hour from Nivunki by car, and a little longer by reindeer. I enrolled in a restaurant and catering school at a young age to become a cook. School took me away from home for a few years, but after graduation I returned to Äkäslompolo to work at the local restaurant Poro. In recent years, I’ve worked in Southern Finland as Head Chef at various high-end restaurants. My food philosophy is ”Think Global, Cook Local.”
