Culinary students project - The Last Supper

A friend from my childhood town called last week and asked if I could help him and his 3 other culinary students. As a 1st year project that had to create a Dining Experience - and they chose to invite the employees from a local church to dine in their own church - and the menu was an interpretation of The Last Supper and other biblical stories!

It was a very funny job for me, it is not everyday you get a photograph inside a church like this! Also I was super impressed by the talent of these young chefs - they have only been studying for 1 year, and yet they put out some really interesting dishes - pushing themselves to the limit!

So thank you to the Danish Culinary School and to Brorsons Kirken, and the students for having me come by!

Murder to Table: Part 2 - Two Lambs

The is part 2 in the fantastic tale of how we murdered, skinned, picked our way to an evening meal.

We drove further west until we came to a small and super cozy little piece of land were we were greeted, with arms open, by Jens. Rarely have I met a person so caring about his stock and so invested in what he was doing. He showed us the 2 lambs he had picked out for us, and took us into his stables where he had all his sheep and newly born lambs - so cute they were! Lots of laughs, anecdotes and passion was shared that morning - I hope that some day I will get the chance to visit him again!

The slaughtering itself was a really pleasant experience. Everyone had a huge respect for what happened, and everything was done by the book - the lamb never felt a thing. Also knowing they had been treated with care and had led as good a life as they could I had a really good experience with it!

I've had a lot doubt wether I should continue to eat meat with all the factory farmed crap everyone buys nowadays. It strains the planet, your health, tasted poorly and last but not least, the animals suffers! But eating the right kind of meat - organic, farm raised, happy and proper meat - that is what we ALL should be doing!

Murder to Table: Part 1 - The Ducks

My good friends Rødder and their good friend Martin 'Guf' Becker from the awesome restaurent Nose2Tail  had an idea that to weeks ago turned into reality. Stay tuned here, Fra Mord Til Bord, I have heard whisperers about an event more in the same spirit!

The concept was called; From Murder to Table. So we spent an entire day murdering, collecting, tasting, buying to an event held the same night putting focus on eating locally and properly produced goods. To me it was a day filled with new experiences, new friendships and so much joy! It was for sure a day that I will never forget!

Part one: The Ducks

Our first stop was in a regular house, in a regular neighborhood. But in the backyard 5 ducks had been raised and that day should be their last. The ducks had had a terrific life, filled with care, proper food and lots of fresh air - the way it should be! It might look a bit messy - but that is what has to happen in order for us to be able to eat a delicious duckbreast or the canard sandwich from Ma Poule.

And isn't then nice to know, that the animal that had to die had led a happy and proper life, instead of being raised in a dark hangar like building, being fed crap and walking in shit to the stomach - I sure think so!

The BIGGEST thank you to everyone that was involved in this epic day!
