Photographer Ditte Isager has captured the essence of Chef René Redzepi in the new book from the head chef of Copenhagen restaurant Noma.

Noma has been widely credited with re-inventing Nordic cuisine.

The restaurant was recognized as the third best in the world by the San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurant awards in 2009 and received the unique ‘Chef’s Choice’ award at the same ceremony. It also just pipped the UK’s ‘Fat Duck’ for best restaurant in the world 2010.

Redzepi combines an unrelenting creativity and a remarkable level of craftsmanship with an inimitable and innate knowledge of the produce of his Nordic terroir.
