Culinary World Cup


Dear chefs around the world and especially all of you who is competing at the world cup in Luxembourg this week, I wish you all the best of luck and I am very sorry that I could not find time to be there with you to celebrate the victory’s together with everybody.

This is the first time in 20 years that I am not attending a big culinary competition and It feels very strange to take part from outside, I hate it and I will for sure see you all in Erfurt 2016 for the Culinary Olympics.

Best of luck and fight hard
Thanks to Palle W Nielsen for the pictures.

WACS board meeting in Durban


My first board meeting with the World association of chefs society WACS was held in Durban on the east coast of sunny South Africa a few week ago.

How exiting to meet old friends from the board but also new chefs that will make this new constellation fantastic but also very challenging to push world chefs forward to new frontiers.

The meeting was long and very constructive and I am looking forward to the next years in my little corner of the world and all my great friends in north of Europe.

I would like to send a very warm thank you to all the chefs of SACA and especially Billy Gallagher for making my birthday very special and memorable and also for the greatest hospitality one can wish for.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you.
