Titti Qvarnström Is Building “Allium” as a Destination in Its Own Right

Qvarnström trained in Copenhagen and worked in leading kitchens in Denmark and Germany before becoming head chef at Bloom in the Park in Malmö, which earned a Michelin star in 2015. In doing so, she became the first female head chef in Scandinavia to receive one in the Nordic guide. Allium, however, is not being framed as a retrospective project or a summing-up of a long career. It is something far more direct: a restaurant shaped around a place the couple have wanted to return to for years.
