Fresh from bagging second spot at World's 50 Best Restaurants 2019 and the Highest New Entry ever with Noma 2.0 , Rene Redzepi is all set to expand his team, advertising with an exciting new role for an ingredient researcher.
In classic Noma style, this is a full time pioneering role, at the coalface of the new Nordic movement. The lucky person that lands the role won't be stuck behind a desk but ready to "scour Scandinavia" and unearth new and exciting ingredients that the region has to offer. "This person will need to find inspiration in nooks and crannies—to build relationships with farmers, fishers, herders and craftspeople to link noma to the unique aliments they produce" the job description reads.
"It will require plenty of travel, resourcefulness, collaboration, organization and clear communication with Noma’s creative kitchens, all while planning months and even years out to make sure ingredients are in the ground or on the way before each season starts."
If you're a chef up for a new career path foraging and forging relationships with the suppliers behind one of the best restaurants in the world, this could be for you. A minimum 5 years work experience in professional kitchens is a must, plus the capacity to pick up local knowledge or the region, farming practices and wild plants!
