Alfred’s desire to trav­el was already on fire at a time when trav­el was not yet so fash­ion­able, and the images of the world were not seen into his home via tele­vi­sion. So close in the past is that time when the world was per­ceived with the eyes, curios­i­ty, and excite­ment. From his many trav­els have come infi­nite sto­ries and a suit­case full of recipes, tried and test­ed in ship’s chaos. Today, Alfred the Trav­eller’s curios­i­ty is more del­i­cate. After notic­ing his broth­er Gus­tav set­tling down in Rovanie­mi, he too was warmed by the thought of return­ing to his beloved home­town, Oulu. There, warm hugs, and hik­ing trips with his grand­chil­dren wait­ing for him. Lov­ing peo­ple, a good drink and tasty food are the prin­ci­ples of Alfred. That’s why he spares nei­ther effort nor kitchen songs when prepar­ing del­i­ca­cies for his loved ones, which can only be cre­at­ed with decades of uncom­pro­mis­ing expe­ri­ence.
