Darina Allen: My foodie trip to Copenhagen — and the summer strawberry cake that has everything 

Darina shares a recipe for a stunning Danish cake and chats about her recent trip to Copenhagen which included a visit to NOMA, René Redzepi’s internationally acclaimed restaurant

I have just returned from a few action-packed days in Copenhagen, and it’s still a super exciting food town. I’d been invited to join a friend’s table at NOMA, René Redzepi’s internationally acclaimed restaurant, which has been named the best restaurant in the world for three years in a row in the World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards.

Having achieved all possible accolades, René has decided to follow in the footsteps of Ferran Adrià of El Bulli in Spain so this will be the last season of NOMA. He’s working on a new project yet to be revealed. The whole NOMA experience is unforgettable from the moment you arrive, walking up the beautiful borders of swaying grasses and perennials interspersed with fresh herbs to the restaurant, a planting plan designed by Piet Oudolf who created the garden on Manhattan’s Highline.
