Eric sits down with Michael Bom Frøst, former director of the Nordic Food Lab during its growth and peak, to uncover the stories behind the revolution that redefined modern cuisine. It's not every day you get to hear firsthand how the New Nordic Manifesto sparked the creation of Noma and inspired chefs to rethink every element on the plate—right down to adding edible insects. Michael's behind-the-scenes tales bring the lab's daring experiments to life, showcasing how local ingredients and fearless creativity took center stage. Listening to him is like stepping into the kitchen at ground zero of a culinary uprising.Check out more about us at:http://linktr.ee/potluckfoodtalksIf you want to support us:http://patreon.com/potluckfoodtalks
In this wide-ranging conversation with Lars Williams and Mark Emil Hermansen, co-founders of Empirical, some of the topics we discuss include: How Mark and Lars met and bonded while working at the world-renowned Nordic Food Lab at the Michelin-star restaurant, Noma, and then spun their passion and expertise into a project that bottles flavorful memories. Why Empirical is referred to as a “Flavor Company,” as opposed to a distillery, rectifier, spirits purveyor, or any other typical moniker. The research and flavor building process that led to the development of their newest product: Soka, a spirit made using the fresh-pressed juice of sorghum cane, which they're using as a way to spread the word about this regenerative, nitrogen-fixing crop. Why the density of flavor packed into these Empirical spirits impacts the way that they can be used in cocktails, specifically where sweetness is concerned. How Lars and Mark think about scaling the impact of their partnerships with farmers, using their adventures in Oaxaca as a case study for creating spirits that not only capture the flavor of a place, but also find ways to give back to it. Along the way, we explore sensory pathways in the brain, the importance of a beginner's mindset, the socioeconomics of pasilla chiles, and much, much more.

Every season of every year, chef René Redzepi reinvents Noma, the two Michelin-starred establishment in Copenhagen that is renowned as the most ground-breaking restaurant in the world. It spearheaded a revolution in Nordic cuisine, and its reputation has made Copenhagen a gastronomic capital. The restaurant has spawned the world-famous Nordic Food Lab food research institute, and hosts an annual international food symposium. Dan Saladino has unprecedented access to the restaurant team. He follows them from their reopening in May as a neighbourhood burger bar, to the evening in October when diners experience their autumn ‘game and forest season’ menu for the first time. He explores Noma’s famous development kitchen, where Mette Søberg, head of research and development, and her team have previously pioneered dishes like the magnificent rotating celeriac shawarma and the delicate butterfly flatbread decorated in flower petals and pollen. He watches the physical transformation of the restaurant, as greenery is replaced by antlers, fungi and moss in the hands of acclaimed designer Christina Rudolph. And he eavesdrops on the restaurant kitchen and head sommelier Mads Kleppe on their first autumn service of 2020.
Would you believe it - today’s guest is an actual scientist! As in Ph.D. from Oxford in Materials Science scientist who happens to also be a world expert in fermentation and uses his scientific powers to help chefs and bars make food more delicious, in thoughtful, sustainable ways. I first heard about Dr. Johnny because of the work he does with Doug McMaster at zero-waste restaurant Silo and with Mr Lyan at his cocktail bars and restaurant Cub here in London where Johnny heads up the fermentation cave. Yes, a real below-ground bunker dedicated to fermenting things. Despite only working in the food world for the last 6 years, Johnny has done so much - from fermenting butter at the Nordic Food Lab in Copenhagen to making ramen noodles in Switzerland, to co-founding MOLD magazine which explores the intersection of food and design, focusing on how we’re going to create a sustainable global food system that can feed 10 billion people by 2050. So yes, Johnny is a very cool, fascinating guy who cares a lot about food and creating a better, more sustainable food system. We chat about Johnny’s career so far, some of the interesting, wacky projects he’s worked on, what set him on the path to directing his work more around sustainability, and some ideas on what the future of food and restaurants could look like…

On this episode of Snacky Tunes we're joined by Josh Evans, former member of the Nordic Food Lab which is the group behind the compelling and eye-opening new book, On Eating Insects (Phaidon).

Andreas and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film Bugs, tasty food, sustainability, colonialism and how we’re so often driven by trends and the media. IMDB Trailer More info about the film here. Synopsis BUGS follows three young men from Nordic Food Lab – Josh Evans, Ben Reade and Roberto Flore, as they forage, farm, cook and taste insects with communities in Europe, Australia, Mexico, Kenya, Japan and beyond. During their journey they encounter everything from revered termite queens and desert-delicacy honey ants to venomous giant hornets and long-horned grasshoppers. The Nordic Food Lab journeymen experiment with culinary practices and tastes – in a two-way process of learning from others around the world while trying to push boundaries themselves. Over the last few years, since the UN recommended edible insects as a resource to combat world hunger, insects as food has become a hot topic. They have been heralded for their taste by cooks and gastronomes, for their low ecological impact by environmentalists, and for their nutritional content by public health scientists. It would seem that insects are the new superfood that will fix all our problems of global food security. BUGS offers an open-minded exploration into the world of edible insects. Biography Andreas Johnsen has made a number of documentaries as both a director and a producer since 2002. His films have been shown around the world on many festivals and on television in Denmark and abroad. His film ‘Ai Weiwei – The Fake Case’ was nominated at IDFA’s “Feature Length Competition”, nominated in Berlin 2014 at Cinema for Peace Awards and won the Danish Film Critics Award 2014. The film has furthermore been selected for over 15 film festivals, been sold to BBC and 7 other territories. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week is about salt and the amazing osmoprotectants that come to the rescue in lactic acid bacteria. We discuss a few historical aspects of salt, a bit about iodine and then we discuss what happens to bacteria under the influence of salt. We’re also trying a new format order for the show. We started with the topic of the week and finished off with fermentation news. Show notes: [Types of Salt and Salt Substitutes in Canning Penn State Extension](http://extension.psu.edu/food/safety/food-preservation/news/2012/types-of-salt-and-salt-substitutes-in-canning) While iodine can have anti-microbial effects at high doses, the amount in table salt is not enough to halt lactic acid fermentation. More likely, the anecdotal accounts of ferments not working is due to some other improper step in the process, but that iodine is used as the scape goat. Iodine may, however, make your ferments look less appealing.
