MAD about Food? Head to MadCamp 2011 in Denmark...

We simply, in a few words, love it.  Oh, and how clever:  'Mad' means food in Danish.  

Rene from Noma, along with many, many of his chums, have set up a big food festival in Copenhagen that takes place on 27th and 28th August 2011. It's huge.  It's, like, a whole island of just food (bring wellies).

The event is all about inspiration for food and trends.

Visitors will get to meet chefs from all over the world, eat at the food stalls, talk to a number of Denmark’s most ambitious farmers, look at grazing livestock and buy fresh, high-quality produce. The magnitude of the fruit and vegetable market will be larger than anything seen in Northern Europe before and feature wild as well as cultivated crops from the seas, woods, fields and beaches of the Nordic region.

Knowledge on subjects like soil quality, vegetation, hay and compost will be shared like never before. Workshops, food installations, demonstrations and food talks will abound – all organised by the enthusiasts, producers and experts behind some of the finest food experiences in our part of the world. 

If you like food to the point of obsession, this is probably where you want to head to this weekend.  It's the trainspotting event for food lovers - and that Rene, well, he's a bit of a dish too.

Don't worry, we won't tell anyone if you have a hotdog on your way home.   Your secret's safe with us.

Tickets cost DKR 200 - that is about £24 in today's money.

Cheap flights to Copenhagen via www.Norwegian.no and www.easyjet.co.uk.  These airlines fly from both Gatwick and Stanstead.   You can also fly from London city and Heathrow with SAS and although you pay more, you do get a free mint pastille and sometimes even a cup of tea.

and if i look really closely, I can tell  your fortune in my curdled bearnaise...
