Weekend food: Walnut meringue

I’m just back from the MAD Food Symposium in Copenhagen, one of the craziest and most influential food events on the planet.

It’s held in a circus tent in a wild flower meadow in Refshaleoum close to the centre of Copenhagen.

The audience are a cosmopolitan mix, varying from chefs to scientists, social activists to food writers and journalists, farmers and food producers to foragers, brewers and baristas.The event was founded by Rene Redzepi from Noma and co-curated this year by Alex Atala of DOM in San Poalo in Brazil.
