MEET THE NORDIC FOOD LAB'S NEW HEAD CHEF

  • Roberto Flore

Description

A quaint Sardinian village of just 2,000 people is the first place Roberto Flore called home. Just a few months a ago, the young Sardinian chef traded his beloved Mediterranean island to become the head chef of the Nordic Food Lab for the next three months, a research laboratory created by René Redzepi in Copenhagen. Flore grew up foraging and gathering herbs, mushrooms and wild plants. It was this childhood hobby that paved the way for this new stage of his life. Not to mention, it's the subject of a chapter the chef wrote for the FAO's Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Food, Beverage and Gastronomy. So just how did Flore to go from Sardinia to Copenhagen? Fine Dining Lovers sat down with him to find out more.
