New Nordic Cuisine with Diploma, Level 5 chefs

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

The Cookery Diploma Level 5 students prepared a New Nordic Cuisine menu created by our own Chef Finn, originally from Denmark. Finn spent his formative years working in Michelin star rated restaurants including Noma.

The Level 5 Diploma of Cookery students prepared the menu also served it at the table, describing each dish to our guests - the Level 4 NZ Certificate in Cookery.

Here is the menu inspired by Chef Finn’s Nordic heritage.
• Tartare of Trevally - smoked and cured with crisp rye bread, pickled beetroot and siphon of brown butter hollandaise
• Mackerel fried on bread with compote of tomato and fennel & fennel butter sauce
• "Sylte" of pork belly with leek, 3 times onion & apple cider vinaigrette
• Tenderloin of Pigeon Bay lamb with Brussel Sprouts, kale, hazelnut & foaming buttermilk
• Apple with caramelized bread, dried blueberries, Blueberry sherbet & apple sorbet.
