Klavs Styrbæk
Klavs Styrbæk is a professional chef who owns and operates STYRBÆKS with his wife, Pia. By combining a high standard of craftsmanship, sparked by curiosity-driven enthusiasm, he has created a gourmet centre where people can enjoy excellent food and where they can come to learn and take their culinary skills to a whole new level. He is particularly interested in seeking out unique, local raw ingredients that are incorporated into new taste adventures or used to revisit traditional Danish recipes that might otherwise be forgotten. This delicate balance between innovation and renewal is demonstrated in his award-winning cookbook Mormors mad (Grandmother’s Food) (2006), which was honoured with a special jury prize at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in 2007. In 2008 and 2019, he was awarded an honorary diploma for excellence in the culinary arts by the Danish Gastronomical Academy. He has written several books with Ole G. Mouritsen.
