I first got acquainted with Leif Sørensen when I attended the MAD2 Symposium in 2012. He gave a humble but touching speech called From Nothing Till Something. The speech was about his restaurant and his ambition to change the Faroes’ gastronomic culture, despite of the scepticism among the locals. I just loved this tale of one man having grown up with a cuisine where everything just went into one pot and turning into a highly skilled chef on a mission to change food culture, almost all by himself. Changing the food culture to preserve it, that is – not wiping it out to introduce something from abroad. I was intrigued and knew that day, that I has to visit this restaurant of his.
