Copenhagen invites you to Copenhagen Cooking

Take a bite of culinary Copenhagen and the Nordic region. For the fourth time, Copenhagen opens its doors to the food festival, Copenhagen Cooking, from 22 - 31 August.

Sharpen your senses when Copenhagen opens its doors to Copenhagen Cooking. Whether you are a connoisseur, favour country cooking or like a little bit of everything, there are extraordinary culinary experiences waiting for you.

- Copenhagen Cooking is a people's festival with something for every taste. We have gourmet restaurants, activities for the whole family, cooking school and wine tasting on the program. The common thread running throughout the programme is the focus on quality. In recent years, the Nordic culinary tradition has been rediscovered and modernized and it will be a big part of the programme but there is also room for international cooking. We invite both Copenhageners and tourists to come out and enjoy some fantastic taste experiences, says Thomas Meier Lorenzen, project manager at Wonderful Copenhagen.

During the festival's 10 days, a wealth of temptation is on offer around the city. Visit Øksnehallen exhibition centre's food and lifestyle event, eat 08, and taste gourmet delicacies. Or, take a trip out to the vineyard in Avedøre and feel like you have been whisked away to Provence while you taste select wines. Tivoli also has events on their program that included the cooking competition, Dish of the Year, during their Gastronomy Days.

Last year, the event Black Box that featured dining in complete darkness was a visitor-magnet. You can expect surprises again this year.

The programme for Copenhagen Cooking will be available in July. You can read more about the food festival at: www.copenhagencooking.com 

Copenhagen Cooking is arranged by Wonderful Copenhagen in cooperation with Tivoli, eat 08, Carlsberg, a select group of the city's best gastronomic operators and top restaurants such as Noma.
