Kitchen diners

11 : 11 : 2015 I'm A Kombo : Copenhagen : Tasting Menus

Copenhagen – Chefs I’m a Kombo invited diners to roll up their sleeves and get creative at their latest pop-up The Social Act.

  • I’m a Kombo wanted to reconnect with guests and make them participants instead of spectators
  • Diners were invited to help prepare the meal and encouraged to leave their mark on the menu

While the six-course tasting menu, including avocado with lobster, cucumber and chocolate, and a pork cutlet and baked vegetables main dish was prepared by I’m a Kombo and guest chefs Mikkel Hesselager and Simon Jul, diners were left in charge of sauces.

Presented with a basic recipe for a DIY egg sauce and a list of ingredients with which to whip up their dressings, they were invited behind the scenes and left to choose between smoked or truffle oils, miso, wines, fresh juices, herbs and spices before being asked to present their creations at dinner.

‘It’s very important when you invite people to interact that you give them creative freedom. Otherwise it feels like a traditional cooking school,’ I’m a Kombo’s Bo Lindegaard tells LS:N Global.

The Big Picture

We are in the midst of a renaissance in tasting menus in which the focus is on the diner rather than on the chef. Find out more in our Neo-tasting Menus microtrend.
