READY, STEADY, COOK
Whet your appetite at
Sol over Gudhjem
, Gudhjem's famous harbourside cook-off. Taking
place on a Saturday afternoon in late June, it sees four of Denmark's hottest chefs battle
it out as they use Bornholm produce to create a tantalising two-course menu.
Competitive chefs aside, the event also features an appetising food market, with over
40 stalls showcasing the best of Danish produce and specialities, from herring to honey
and cheeses. Various competitions means you might just walk away with new kitchen
equipment, art or (better still) a free meal at one of Copenhagen's 'It' nosh spots. Best of
all, the event is free! The official cook-off usually starts at 1pm, so it's a good idea to head
in at around noon to get a good seat. After all, you'll want to taste-test the entries, right?
