RENE Redzepi owner and chef of the restaurant Noma in Copenhagen says that returning to traditional roots, rediscovering products used more than 100 years ago and preparing them in different ways is part of his philosophy at his restaurant in Copenhagen. “Alot of products that we put on the table today are part of our culinary history over recent centuries.” Noma was recently named ‘the world’s best restaurant” by the British magazine Restaurant.

Local chef David Pynt and Terra Madre applicant has been working for a short while at Noma and describes some of the atmosphere. “Food is where the heart is and the heart here is huge”, the restaurant is so unprententious which allows people to relax and enjoy themselves, shrimp plate looked amazing and was exceeded by the flavours, the plate makes you feel like you are at the edge of a frozen fjord eating the dish, real flavours coming out, the beach herbs keep your mind and attention entertained after the main components have been sampled.
