Nordic Cuisine: Three top chefs reveal their best recipes

Nordic cuisine embodies minimalism and closeness to nature. We prepare what the seasons have to offer. The focus is on the purest possible, unprocessed ingredients and natural flavors; the style is inspired by tradition and the joy of experimentation.

We take a culinary trip north. Into the latitudes of culinary minimalism at the highest level! The culinary elite from Denmark and Norway reveal their best recipes, including mussels, burgers and cakes.
