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