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 Worlds 50 Best Restaurant awards in 2010 & received the unique Chefs 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. Redzepis fascination with giving his diners a real taste of their foods 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.
