Rene Redzepi has been widely credited with re-inventing Nordic cuisine. His Copenhagen restaurant, Noma, was recognized as the best in the world by the San Pellegrino World`s 50 Best Restaurant awards in 2010 & received the unique ` Chef`s Choice` award at the same ceremony in 2009. Redzepi operates at the cutting edge of gourmet cuisine, combining an unrelenting creativity & a remarkable level of craftsmanship with an inimitable & innate knowledge of the produce of his Nordic terroir. At Noma, which Redzepi created from a derelict eighteenth-century warehouse in 2003 after previously working at both el Bulli & The French Laundry, diners are served exquisite concoctions, such as ` Newly-Ploughed Potato Field` or ` The snowman from Jukkasjarvi`, all painstakingly constructed to express their amazing array of Nordic ingredients. Redzepi`s fascination with giving his diners a real taste of their food`s environment extends to serving dishes on pebbles found in the same fields as his produce. His search for ingredients involves foraging amongst local fields for wild produce, sourcing horse-mussels from the Faroe Islands & the purest possible water from Greenl&. Redzepi has heightened the culinary philosophy of seasonally & regionally sourced sustainable ingredients to an exquisite level, & in doing so has created an utterly delicious cuisine. ...
