(English) Copenhagen sets the table

06 August 2009

This year’s program for the food festival Copenhagen Cooking is ready - and it is bigger than ever. From the 21st to 30th of August, 65 tasty experiences await the entire family.  And they all have one thing in common - quality.
 
Hearty appetites are needed when Copenhagen Cooking serves up a program that includes 65 arrangements over 10 days. The taste experiences will be many and varied. Go on a culinary treasure hunt in Frederiksberg Have with Meyers, cruise the food fair eat09, restaurant crawl with Cofoco, experience the best of Madeleines Madteater or a cake and beer event at Carl Jacobsen’s idyllic garden that is open to the public for this special occasion.

This is the fifth time that Copenhagen Cooking takes place and the program has both classic and new additions. From the start, Taste of Copenhagen has been a crowd-pleasing attraction. Here you’ll find gourmet foods at rock-bottom prices from a number of Copenhagen’s best restaurants including some Michelin-rated restaurants. Undoubtedly, there will be a great demand for tickets when they go on sale the 11th of August on BilletNet.

A new addition is A Bite of Copenhagen. Some of the city’s best, moderately priced restaurants offer a menu where the quality is high and prices are low. A 3-course menu for 195 dkk! Among the participating restaurants are Ebisu in Custom House and SALT restaurant and bar. Tickets can be reserved at the restaurants now.

Another of last year’s favorite was the tasting event at the Royal Danish Playhouse. This year, 11 of the best restaurants from Denmark and Malmo will create mouth-watering samples with the season’s finest ingredients. Tickets can already be purchased online at BilletNet.

“Copenhagen Cooking doesn’t only satisfy the taste buds through food.  This year, there are various events that focus on beverages. Take part in electing the city’s official cocktail - the Copenhagen. Compete to become the Carlsberg-master blind taste tester and sample more than 500 beers from all over the world.  Or, try coffee tasting at Kontra Coffee,” says Thomas Meier Lorenzen, senior project leader at Wonderful Copenhagen.
