Now's your chance to experience the brand new Noma! All you have to do is donate to a great cause and your flight, hotel and dinner will be paid for.

In this episode of Food Republic Today, former Noma chef Dan Giusti phones in to tell us about how he's on a mission to make public school lunch better.

René Redzepi believes that teaching kids from a young age to forage will allow them to grow into a generation that will care about where food comes from.

Chef Mads Refslund and food writer Tama Matsuoka Wong take an intimate look inside the potential of underutilized vegetable parts. Try this kale pulp pasta!

The most celebrated restaurant in the world, Noma, not only put Scandinavian cuisine on the map, but also altered the meanings of "foraging" and "sourcing" food. Now, you can see the operations of the restaurant for yourself in the film, Noma: My Perfect Storm. Directed by documentary filmmaker Pierre Deschamps, the movie focuses on chef and co-owner…

One of the big stories in the food world this week is Rene Redzepi's decision to close Noma, one of the world's top-rated restaurants, next year. Now it's being revealed that he intends to reopen Noma next year in a new Copenhagen location, to evolve the restaurant into a true Nordic culinary laboratory. The staff will grow their own…

They might not know, however, that one of the restaurant's instrumental figures has spent the past couple…

World-renowned Danish chef René Redzepi has been called a visionary. Often. We're talking about a guy who treats a two-year-old carrot like côte de boeuf at his acclaimed restaurant Noma in Copenhagen. So, it's quite striking to see the man who blows so many minds (red ants with crème fraîche, anyone?) seem entirely blown away…

When Copenhagen’s Noma was awarded the heady title of world’s best restaurant during a ceremony in April — the fourth time it earned the honor in five years — it once again anointed chef-owner René Redzepi as keeper of the most-exclusive reservation book on the planet. Reserving a table at Noma can be like scoring…

For the past two summers, some of the brightest minds in the food world — chefs, farmers, journalists, bakers, scientists and politicians — have travelled to Copenhagen to attend the MAD Symposium, a three-day conference spearheaded by Noma chef René Redzepi and his trusted lieutenant Ali Kurshat Altinsoy. Our reporter Jody Eddy is on the…

Meatless Mondays, genetically engineered salmon, the organic debate — all the major food politics stories are in the news this week, plus a USDA resignation, New York City mayoral candidate diets and a food poisoning outbreak at famed Copenhagen restaurant Noma. Remember that Stanford study that suggested organic fruits and vegetables weren’t more nutritious for…

We’ve been on the ground for…

Leave it to the chefs at Noma to teach the world how to make grasshopper sauce, cricket paste, and live ants sorbet. This video — from Noma's Nordic Food Lab — is a demonstration on how to ferment grasshopper barley by chef Lars Williams. Grasshopper sauce anyone? Check out the rest of the videos here.…

The concept of “new Nordic cuisine” might be foreign to you. It might also be friendly. But as I recently found during a visit to Copenhagen, the epicenter of the movement and home to Noma, the world’s best restaurant, the term is slightly irrelevant when eating and drinking around the town. Sure, I spotted seaweed…

To get to the Noma test kitchen one must walk the mean streets of Christianshavn, a neighborhood in Copenhagen that is as tough as the docks at Sausalito. As in, not very tough at all. It’s a beautifully maintained stretch of former military buildings and more modern apartment complexes, separated by crisscrossing canals. Noma sits…

René Redzepi has arrived at the sprawling test kitchen located above the restaurant he runs in a converted 18th Century warehouse off Copenhagen Harbor. It’s morning and his staff — line cooks, various kitchen lieutenants, stages — are arriving in clusters. The Meters' “Hand Clapping Song” plays. Espressos are made. Tweets are tweeted. “Good morning…

Scenes, and smoked fish, from the Nordic Taste held Saturday at the Carlsberg Brewery.[/caption] For the past three days I have been posted up in Copenhagen, Denmark attending the 8th Annual Copenhagen Cooking festival. Unlike the splashier, celebrity chef–obsessed fêtes in the United States, CC12 was a purely Danish affair. Meaning, as I found out…

Last night I hit a screening room in Times Square for a showing of 2010's Three Stars, a documentary by media historian and award-winning filmmaker and journalist Lutz Hachmeister. Am I a little over two years late? You bet, but I just can't turn down a movie I didn't pay $16 for. Plus, no sticky…

Later this week I’m heading to Denmark to attend Copenhagen Cooking 2012, a gathering that celebrates both the “new Nordic cuisine” and international cuisines alike — with a bunch of events planned in and around the city. Up until this point I knew very little about Danish cuisine, outside of the wild tales from the…

Everyone asks where else you’re going to eat in Copenhagen — beside the usual suspect. It’s a valid question. Impressive restaurants are opening everywhere in this city since Noma’s crowning as the world’s number one restaurant. Think Radio, Ralae and Geranium. But there is more to Denmark than Copenhagen. An hour west of the city…
