After saving up money for more than a year I finally got the money to go to Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark. The restaurant (which happens to be in my home town) just made it to number 1 on The S. Pelegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants 2010. And yesterday I got a reservation after trying for the longest time: Three months from now I'm having lunch at Noma!
To pass the time I'm going to buy the cook book that just came out by the head chef Rene Redzepi: NOMA: Time and place in Nordic Cuisine.
It looks amazing even though I don't think I'll be trying to make any of the recipes any time soon. Not unless I go out and invest in a 'Thermomix' or a 'circulation water bath' whatever that is..
But really I just want to look at the pictures, read about the food and the chef that reinvented my country's way of thinking about food.
Wow!!! That sounds like great fun. Please bring the cook book to class as soon as you get it. I would love to see what Chef Rene Redzepi's Nordic cuisine is all about. Thanks Z.G.
ReplyDeletedid you know he was at the NY Public Library today on a panel with Ruth Reichl?
ReplyDeleteNoma looks wonderful! Do you have room for one more?
ReplyDeleteHe was in NY? Talking to David Chang... And I missed it. That's so depressing.
