BROR

A few months I was fortunate to meet Victor Wågman and Sam Nutter at their restaurant BROR in Copenhagen. Two incredibly talented chefs taking 'trash cooking' and all the unused parts and turning it into something delicious and playfull! This place is well worth the money and a visit!

Deerdog!

So John from Johns Hotdog deli (you might remember him from this post) hooked me up with ingredients for his brand new mothtly hotdog and I made a poster for him!

There is a huge tradion for hotdogs here in Denmark (especially with the sad sad red skinned sausages) and every single boring stand serves the same generic kind of.... I'm not even gonna say it.. But then there is John! Like I told you John is one of those guys who does it right! So every month he comes up with a hotdog that pushes the envolope on what a hotdog is and should be! Using local and seasonal ingredients he makes the most delious homemade sauces and toppings which he serves with proper sausages from butchers around the country!

And I tell you, it is not for kicks and giggles that he has been mentioned in some of the worlds biggest newpapers and magazins as a go-to place for food experiences in Copenhagen!

This month it is a nordic deerdog with homemade hawthorn mustard, chantrelle remoulade and a spiced lingonberry and red onion pickle! It is served with an amazing amazing deer sausage (and I tell you it is so tasy!).

Just go taste it....and make sure to buy one of his home made mustards when you are there anyway!

Geranium - Private dining with Rasmus Kofoed

A few weeks back I got hired by Zoë Escher who arranges gourmet events all over Copenhagen - under the name Sakana Club Gourmet (the entire series of pictures is at her gallery).

She had arranged an intimate dining experience with Rasmus Kofoed - head chef at Geranium in Copenhagen, and winner of Bocuse d'or 2011 - which makes him holder of the title as Worlds Best Chef! 

The guests was served a series of small snacks and champagne all while Rasmus was standing in front of them talking about himself and of course the dishes put forth! It was a very very interesting lecture in finding yourself, keeping yourself motivated and how to work with passion! He also spoke very personally about his childhood and of course about the toll it takes to attend something was Bocuse d'or 3 times (getting 3rd, 2nd AND 1st place)

Lastly they were given a very exclusive behind the scenes look in the kitchen, as the dessert was served there - having Rasmus and another chef finishing it up in front of the guests - again all while he cheerfully spoke about how he find inspiration to dishes. This one being inspired by a walk in the danish forest seeing trees sprouting from the ground! And boy was it a good dessert! 

So all in all I too had a terrific day, shooting, listening and of course tasting!
