Fresh Starts Chef Events: Roberth Sundell

Chef Roberth Sundell, chef/owner at Plaj in San Francisco and Stockhome in Petaluma, presents a menu of simple Scandinavian elegance drawn from his Swedish roots.

Raised in Sweden, Chef Roberth arrived in San Francisco in 2012 with his wife and partner, Andrea. Plaj opened soon afterward in a cozy, European-style space at Inn at the Opera.

The restaurant has received accolades from the San Francisco Chronicle, Food & Wine, and 7x7 Magazine, with Zagat naming him one of "10 Under-the-Radar Chefs to Know in the Bay Area." His menu:

Raraka Potato Rosti with Whitefish Caviar, Smoked Yogurt & Spring Onions   |   Pitman's Farm Chicken Breast & Confit with Barley Porridge, Artichoke, Pea Tendrils, Wrangeback Cheese & Tarragon   |   Rhubarb Strawberry Pie with Lavender Granola Crust & Bay Leaf Ice Cream

The couple opened a more casual restaurant, Stockhome, last August in Petaluma to offer family fare along with the Turkish street food popular in Sweden.
