Welcome to Copenhagen

Until I figure out what my new blog will be called I will be posting updates about life at the Nordic Food Lab here. 

Words cannot describe the amazing whirlwind of event that have already taken place in the past 3 days since arriving in Copenhagen. 




Welcome on board! 

 The Kitchen/Laboratory.

 


The basement if full of experiments.  


Oh and did I mention we wear the same chefs jackets and aprons that that wear at noma?! 

In the past 3 days I have done, eaten, and prepared some unbelieveable things. 

Some of the things  consumed include:
Sheep's milk yogurt with bee larva granola
blood ice cream
bee larva ice cream pellets (think Dippin' Dots)
blood macaroons with stout whipped cream
black garlic and beet green pesto
Koji (fermented barley coated in so kind of fungus)

Some of the things I have done at the lab:
pressed wild edibles
extracted bee larva from the honey comb by freezing the comb with liquid nitrogen and then sifting out the larva
met Rene Redzepi
Pressing Plants for the Herbarium.
Staff lunch on Friday.
Harvesting Bee Larva
It's been an incredible first few days and I am really looking forward for what has yet to come!
