A celebration of Nordic cuisine, the festival showcases the very best of Denmark’s food culture, spotlighting key players on the gastronomic stage. You’ll get the chance to see demonstrations from some of the city’s top chefs and sample their dishes. Any many of the demonstrations are free, too.
Copenhagen Cooking is a chance not only to savour the Copenhagen restaurant scene but also to get to grips with New Nordic Cuisine, that’s all about using hyper-local and seasonal produce.
