Even though the food festival is also called the Nordic Food Festival, it doesn’t just serve Nordic Food. The Taste the World street kitchen will be offering exotic food from all over the world.
In April, NOMA was named “World’s Best Restaurant”, and at the beginning of June, Danish chef Rasmus Kofoed won gold at the Bocuse d’Or, the European Championships of cooking. Both NOMA and Rasmus Kofoed use Nordic cuisine as their focal points, which says a lot about the gastronomic potential of Nordic cooking.
But it is not just Nordic cuisine which is being celebrated during the nine-day long Copenhagen Cooking festival. On 28 August, the street of Nørrebrogade, which is the centre of Copenhagen’s multi-ethnic area, will be transformed into a street kitchen where international chefs will produce culinary specialities from places such as Spain, Thailand and Japan.
On 15 July, a new English-language gastronomy guide called “Taste of Copenhagen” will be published, making it easier to find the gastronomic oases in the city. The guide is only available online and can also be downloaded to an iPhone.
Copenhagen Cooking will be held from 20 to 29 August and takes place all over the city. The final programme will be available from the middle of July at www.copenhagencooking.com
