Denmark is drowning in brown sauce and potatoes - until a vision of a New Nordic kitchen changes everything. Claus Meyer wants to revolutionize Danish food, both in restaurants and in the kitchens of Danes at home, and finds an unknown, uncompromising young chef in René Redzepi to help him. Together they create the restaurant Noma and the foundations for the gastronomic miracle that ends up making little Denmark one of the world's leading culinary countries.

And while the financial crisis roars around the Danes, the Danish food scene and the New Nordic movement explode. Soon the Danes will revel in excellent restaurants - and several of them are even crowned the best in the world.
