For the third year in a row the acclaimed cooking competition known as the Linie Award is arranged. New for this year is the expansion of the competition to apply to all the Nordic countries - also when it comes to ingredients. The Linie Award’s purpose is to develop a new, exciting & innovative “Nordic Cuisine” while promoting Nordic ingredients.
Linie Aquavit invites all young Chefs in the Nordic region over 20 years of age, to the competition of who can make the two best dishes containing Nordic ingredients. The first dish should be based on Nordic ingredients from the sea, and should match the Linie Aquavit as the drink to this dish. The second dish should be made of a land based Nordic ingredient and Linie Aquavit should be included as an ingredient itself. Only Nordic ingredients can be utilized in these two dishes.
The Nordic Cuisine is not defined by traditions in the Nordic countries, but from the naturally available resources in our region. The criteria the jury will pay close attention to is, showing creativity and a strong display of innovation regarding the selection of ingredients found in the Nordic region. The path to the title shall refl ect the special consideration of our Nordic climate and geographic conditions.
