He has been invited to work with Rene Redzepi of Noma, the world’s number 1 restaurant, for a 6 week spell later this year. What a coup for Jardine restaurant and Eric.
He’ll learn the finer points of Nordic cuisine, and cook with smoked elk, cloudberries, musk ox and radish in edible soil.
I’m not sure if he knows the next bit. At Noma, the chefs must serve up the food they cook. And I don’t mean onto the service counter. They have to bring it out onto the restaurant floor to the customers who ordered it.
Isn’t that different? Talk about being able to give feedback. Of course the Danes all speak excellent English so Eric will have no problem conversing. The Danes are polite too, and sure Eric’s a charming fellow, so it’s a marriage made in heaven.
I’m missing him already.
And, as they say in Copenhagen; ” Uden mad og drikke duer helten ikke”.

Thanks Clare
So nice of you to write about my Copenhagen trip! There is nothing like a little free publicity. I am very honoured to be going to Noma and am aware of the personal chef service they do. Hopefully they only send out the permanent staff.
Anyway, I will also be keeping a diary of my experience at Noma so if anyone is interested in an exclusive insiders look, do not hesitate to contact me.
how do we get hold of your diary please Eric?
I spent some time in Copenhagen last year and didn’t know about Noma’s Nordic cuisine excellence!
probably could;t afford the place anyway! How pricey was it Eric?
