Every dish
has a past.

Following the story behind the recipe

I’m not the chef of this particular story. I’m the history buff asking where a dish came from, how an ingredient travelled and why a familiar recipe took the shape it did.

My role: recipe photographer and enthusiastic taster

My wife is the main brain behind CPHLunchbox. She develops the recipes, teaches the classes and brings the food to life. I’m her willing sidekick — taking photographs, exploring the historical footnotes and helping where I can.

*Someone has to taste it.

Her kitchen, her ideas, our shared curiosity

For Indian recipes, private cooking classes in Copenhagen and the real expertise, visit my wife’s website. This page is simply my corner for the history — and the pictures I make along the way.
