New Danish Cuisine
Danish cuisine has also taken advantage of the possibilities inherent in traditional recipes, building on the use of local products and techniques that have not been fully exploited. Products such as rapeseed, oats, cheeses and older varieties of fruits are being redisovered and prepared in new ways both by restaurants and at home as interest in organic foods continues to grow. The Nordic Council's agricultual and food ministers have supported these developments in the form of a manifesto designed to encourage the use of natural produce from the Nordic countries in the food production industry while promoting the "purity, freshness, simplicity and ethics" associated with the region's cuisine.
In both 2010, 2011 and 2012 the Copenhagen restaurant Noma (short for nordisk mad - Nordic food) was named the world's best restaurant by the Restaurant magazine.
The Danish chef Claus Meyer has his own show about Nordic cuisine on BBC Lifestyle. His recent book Almanak contains 365 new cuisine recipes, one for each day of the year.
