I was as shocked as you are, when I looked last week at this first-ever glimpse of a new dish from the world-famous kitchen of Noma, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Noma is the Michelin two-star that has zoomed to the top of many international lists as the world’s best restaurant. Chef-owner Rene Redzepi has created in Copenhagen a new Nordic cuisine, yes…but he has also been honing a style you might call “primitivist modern.”
