Bornholm’s location in the Baltic Sea and its rolling, rocky landscapes provide the perfect conditions not only for growing wonderful apples, but also for a wealth of exciting wild flavours. The New Nordic cuisine’s embrace of wild herbs and berries has, in many ways, inspired a fresh approach to traditional Nordic cooking, bringing past and present together in a new, contemporary form.
Join us for a walk through the landscape around Pilegård Cideri, where you’ll learn about medicinal herbs, culinary herbs and plants used to infuse schnapps. Along the way, we’ll taste what nature has to offer and chat about how to turn its bounty into everything from simple dishes to more elaborate gourmet experiences.
Before and after the walk, you’re welcome to relax with a glass (or several) of delicious cider or beer and chat with the cider makers in the Pilegård Cideri farm shop.
The walk is led by Thomas Guldbæk
Thomas is a nature guide and teaches at Bornholms Højskole, among other places. An expert in herbs and wild food, he works as a consultant and forager for some of Denmark’s finest restaurants and food producers. He also has over 30 years’ experience in bringing culture and nature to life, consulting for several museums and writing for magazines and books including Gastro, Mad & Mennesker and Dansk Madkulturhistorie.
