More quotes by Rene Redzepi
Summer's the same, autumn is even more extreme. Then winter is when you sort of condense all of your ideas. You process all these things and you try to look for new concepts. In that sense, your intuition is in hibernation. What you fill up is your imagination you fill up your memories there.

If you follow that - it's hard to talk about it without sounding like some New Age idiot, which I think is a bit unfair - but, if you do follow that natural cycle, you will inevitably eat better, cheaper, and much, much, much, much healthier.
Rene Redzepi
When people are grownups they're grown ups. They make their own decisions you know.
Rene Redzepi
I had turned down other head chef jobs. I didn't want to take over someone else's cuisine. I wanted to start from scratch.
Rene Redzepi
My last meal on Earth, I would love it to be a bowl of blueberries with cold cream.

Scandinavian-Danish cuisine was something quite rustic, mostly known for pastries and smorgasbord cuisine, which in itself has become a joke.
