Tasting Bar with Chef and Food Consultant Rasmus Bredahl keyboard_arrow_down
Why does Retsina taste wonderful on a balcony in Greece, but like something sour back home? Can the taste of food change simply by changing the surroundings? And why do your mum’s meatballs always taste the best? Can we taste memories?
When we eat, an explosion of sensory impressions is set in motion. Join chef and food consultant Rasmus Bredahl on a journey through your senses and gain insight into what happens in the brain when we eat. Discover how the brain can be influenced to enhance the dining experience, and learn how to apply neurogastronomy in your own kitchen. You’ll get nothing less than the secret to the perfect meal.
Along the way, there will be tastings and small sensory experiments.

Sting on paper with Marlene [@krudseduller] & Kristina [@krissvejstruppedersen] keyboard_arrow_down
Paper embroidery is one of the trends we see appearing again and again.
In this open workshop, we work with needle, thread, and paper to create Christmas cards where small stitches turn into decorative details.
The cards are prepared in advance, so you can jump straight to the fun part. Choose from different motifs, experiment with the season’s colour palettes, and discover how thread adds texture, depth, and a tactile quality to paper.
