New Nordic Cuisine & Copenhagen's Food Revolution

Copenhagen is the capital of the global food revolution known as 'New Nordic Cuisine' — the culinary movement that began in 2004 when the chefs René Redzepi, Claus Meyer, and their colleagues published the New Nordic Manifesto, committing to cooking with local, seasonal, and foraged Scandinavian ingredients; the movement's most famous restaurant, Noma (founded 2003, voted the World's Best Restaurant four times), closed its physical restaurant in January 2024 but continues as a research and fermentation laboratory and pop-up dining experience.
