We’re in the midst of a global appetite for all things Scandinavian: furniture, television, and especially food.
René Redzepi’s Copenhagen restaurant, Noma, is ranked number two in the world – and he’s become a global success by focusing on regional, seasonal Nordic cuisine. It’s a philosophy that chimes perfectly with the times. He’s been described by the Guardian as ‘a gifted cook with an extraordinary palate’ and the ultimate antidote to ‘beige’ dining.
In partnership with the Age Good Food Month, we’re bringing this global superstar to Melbourne.
Drawing on videos and his new book A Work in Progress (to be released in November), Redzepi will offer an intimate look at the world’s top ranking restaurant.
René Redzepi appears at the Wheeler Centre and The Age Good Food Month presented by Citi and Phaidon Press.
Featuring
René Redzepi
René Redzepi has been widely credited with reinventing Nordic cuisine. After cooking at some of the world’s most prestigious restaurants, including under Ferran Adrià at el Bulli and Thomas Keller at The French Laundry, Redzepi became head chef and co-founder of Noma in 2003 at the age of just 25. Since then he has quickly developed to become one of his generation’s most respected chefs.
Redzepi has received huge international acclaim, including winning the World’s Best Restaurant award for three consecutive years and being honoured in Time’s 100 Most Influential People 2012. A Work in Progress is Redzepi’s second book, following the James Beard award-winning Noma: Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine.
