Norwich-based Fr
å.kost is set to open in in April, becoming the latest bakery to tap into the growing trend for Nordic-inspired fare in the UK.
Frå.kost is the creation of Maggie Christensen and her business partner Aaron Pritty. Located at Unit 1 in St Augustine’s Gate, the plant-based bakery is inspired by the Scandinavian slow-living lifestyle. The name, which means ‘lunch’ in Danish, focusses on health and wellbeing.
It offers a host of rye breads including Danish sourdough, carrot, and grains & seeds variants. Dark chocolate & marzipan pastry knots, cakes and open sandwiches are also on the menu.
