What you'll learn

Embark on a unique culinary journey where flavors transcend the ordinary. Learn Scandinavian cooking techniques that not only elevate taste but also ensure that ingredients are preserved in their optimal condition.

Apple, Smoked Cream, Caviar, Burnt Chives Oil: This dish offers a playful and sophisticated use of caviar, blending it with seasonal Scandinavian ingredients like apple cream and smoked chives. The flavors are elevated further with the addition of roasted almonds.

Langoustine Burnt with Charcoal and Warm Shellfish Emulsion: Utilizing every part of the langoustine, this dish showcases the tenderness of the langoustine flesh alongside the creaminess of a warm emulsion foam. It’s an elegant dish with strong, layered flavors.

Celeriac, Truffle, Almonds: A simple yet luxurious dish favored by top Scandinavian restaurants. The process begins with fermenting celeriac water, which is then used to infuse a complex beurre blanc. Finished with truffle, it epitomizes indulgence.

Scallops with Seaweed and Fermented Cauliflower: A fresh, innovative dish from the sea, featuring scallops paired with seaweed and fermented cauliflower. Dill oil and lemon pearls add the final touch of delight.

Hay-Smoked Turbot with Sweetbreads and Chanterelles: Chef Christopher Lai demonstrates how to fillet and smoke turbot with hay and applewood, resulting in a dish with tender, juicy sweetbreads that are crispy on the outside. The dish is completed with a honey-lemon-verbena hint.

Tartelette Filled with Horseradish Emulsion and Smoked Trout Roe: A visually striking one-bite snack, this tartelette is made with a fried thin wonton and filled with a horseradish emulsion, topped with smoked trout roe, caviar, and plum vinegar tapioca for a delightful burst of textures.

In this course, in addition to the recipes themselves, you will also learn various cooking techniques that will be useful on many occasions.
