SURVIVAL
In the harsh nordic climate there is not many vegetables that thrive due to low temperatures and high humidity.
One of the staples of nordic cooking is root vegetables like the celeriac which survives in these harsh conditions. Celeriac has a earthy taste, but when cooked it is sweet and umami-like.

An incredible dinner last week at @iristherestaurant Iris in Rosendal, Norway, which is about 2.5 hours from Bergen driving including one or two (depending on your route) short car ferries. What I will say is that if you removed all the surrounding grandeur of the location and the experience, and just focused on the food that we ate, this was one of the most delicious and well structured menus that I’ve ever eaten. Of the 20 or so servings there was only one slightly weak dish (IMO) and even that was pretty good. They have only been open for three months and I must thank Hayley for discovering this restaurant that had not yet popped up on my radar. While there are clearly comparisons to be made between here and Alchemist in Copenhagen, we didn’t find the experience preachy in any way, but rather informative and thought provoking as I believe is the intent of both restaurants. Very highly recommended.
In their own words:
“Our location guides every step we take at Iris, and we want our guests to experience the fiord, the mountains, and the ever-changing elements in the same all-encompassing way that we do every day. Here, we have the great privilege of bringing our guests to the ingredients, instead of the other way around. The experience at Iris is, quite literally, a journey. It starts with a boat trip from the picturesque town of Rosendal, with a pit stop and welcoming snack at chef @ani.kamadsen Anika Madsen’s boathouse on the island of Snilstveitøy.“

WEEDS OF THE SEA
The global population of squid and cuttlefish has been steadily on the rise since the 1950ies, both due to rising temperatures and the fact that many of their predators are on the decline. They have even been referred to as

WEEDS OF THE SEA
The global population of squid and cuttlefish has been steadily on the rise since the 1950ies, both due to rising temperatures and the fact that many of their predators are on the decline. They have even been referred to as
'weeds of the sea due to their rapid growth, short lifespans, and ability to adapt to environmental changes more quickly than other marine animals. We have paired the Norwegian cuttlefish tagliatelle with dashi-butter sauce made from kelp, grilled celeriac, unripe strawberries, and lovage.

FROM ZERO TO HERO
Two humble species with unite in this dish. The lumpsucker is used in salmon farms as a means to reduce the amount of salmon louse. Salmon louse pose a threat to wild salmon and can cause a welfare problem for the farmed salmon. The use of lumpsucker is heavily debated in the farming industry amongst other things because the fish goes to waste after it has completed it's mission of eating salmon lice. In this serving the lumpsucker is matched with another hero, the oyster mushroom that has an amazing ability to clean contaminated soil and dissolve harmful toxins. The lumpsucker is smoked and paired with beurre blanc, oyster mushrooms grown in coffee grinds, served with local vegetables.

FEEDING THE FUTURE
To feed a growing world population we need to come up with new ways of farming - both on land and in the sea.
An important topic in animal food production is the feed. While the feed industry has come a long way in creating vegetable-based feed for carnivorous fish there's still a way to go. In this dish we combine the young salmon fry with possible feed sources of the future: mycelium, chlorella algae and insect protein.
And if we suddenly end up in a situation where the feed is healthy and tasty for humans - couldn't we just eat the feed ourselves?

REKEBORD
Every summer Norwegians come together for the quintessential tradition of 'Rekebord literally translated to «Shrimp table», where we serve shrimp sandwiches with mayonnaise and lemon juice. However, recent scientific research from Norway and Sweden suggests depletion of the shrimp stock in the North Sea. In our Nordic food tradition it is not common to eat the variety of shells and mussels that live in our waters. Our rendition of the classic Norwegian rekebord replaces shrimp with some of the hidden secrets of the Norwegian coastal waters, mahogany clams and pullet carpet shell, and the condiments with some more local alternatives: gooseberry jus, ramson capers, bread made with oats & sheepsmilk butter.

UNIFICATION
A symbolic meeting of two possible potential protein sources of the future. The sea urchin (uni) is a destructive delicacy, multiplying due to the overfishing of its natural predators. It feeds on the underwater kelp forests that are important for binding CO2 and can be a possible source of protein, minerals, and vitamins in the future.
