Description
Eat Smart in Denmark is a guide to Denmark for food lovers.
Danish cuisine has been in the gastronomic spotlight since Noma was voted the best restaurant in the world for three years running. Noma is part of the New Nordic Cuisine movement, making use of fresh local ingredients to create variations on traditional food and drink.
The average visitor to Denmark is not likely to eat at Noma because reservations are almost impossible to get and prices are high even by Danish standards. But there are countless opportunities throughout the country to enjoy traditional and New Nordic Danish dishes ranging from the world-renowned wienerbrod pastry to rye bread topped with pickled herring. This indispensible guide will educate you about the time-honored foods that form the cornerstone of New Nordic Cuisine, as well as the correct way to eat smorrebrod, how to order a hot dog from a polsevogn, and what Danish words you need to shop for fresh grontsager in an outdoor market.
For a small country, Denmark is surprisingly rich in culinary traditions, many of which date back to Viking times and earlier. Join us for an entertaining, informative trip through the country, from Sjaelland to Jylland, sampling the full range of Danish national specialties.
Eat Smart in Denmark connects menus and markets to geography, history, and regional pride. Within this guide you will find tips on how and what to order in Denmark as well as a culinary history of the country and an introduction to its quickly growing local foods trend.
