Raw, fermented, stewed, pickled, fried, grilled, steamed, boiled, or braised? There are many methods of preparation when the conversation turns to one of the plant kingdom's greatest personalities: cabbage.

The Danes have long looked to the many varieties of cabbage, packed with dietary fiber, when it comes to putting food on the table. Today is no exception as TV chef Adam Aamann, accompanied by Trine Krebs, lovingly treats this versatile vegetable, discussing everything from tiny Brussels sprouts to massive heads of cabbage. Naturally, there will be samples for the audience along the way.

A part of Kål & Ko

The event is part of Kål & Ko, which is part of Copenhagen Cooking's programme both on the festival site and the general programme. Kål & Ko aims to inspire the audience to use dairy in the green kitchen and explore how dairy can contribute lots of flavours and nuances when cooking dishes with vegetables and legumes.

Trine Krebs is the moderator and she invites various chefs and food personalities on stage for 45-minute segments. The chef cooks with a seasonal ingredient, and Trine Krebs and the audience ask, listen and taste the delights from the Kål & Ko stage. You can expect to leave the programme with great tips and tricks for the green kitchen at home.

Come and watch, listen, ask questions and enjoy the chef's green creations.

The Kål & Ko project is supported by ‘Mælkeafgiftsfonden’.

Cabbage in focus

This year's headliner at Copenhagen Cooking 2024 is cabbage, and under the heading Cabbage Love, it will play an undisputed leading role in the ambition to make this versatile vegetable even more attractive.

Cabbage is full of flavour, affordable, filling, full of health and good for the body and the climate - and it thrives in our local climate. See all food events with cabbage in focus here and buy this year's cabbage poster by Pine Cone Project here.
