René Redzepi wants the world to learn how to forage. The Danish chef who brought ants and edible soil to the international fine dining scene with the four-time World’s Best Restaurant, Noma, has just launched Vild Mad, an initiative to educate children and adults about the food that surrounds them.
Just off a flight from Mexico, where he had his sell-out Noma pop-up in Tulum for six weeks starting in April, Redzepi spoke about the importance of foraging at the #50BestTalks: Food Forward event in Barcelona last week, part of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 15th Anniversary celebrations, presented by Miele.
