Cook it Raw: 'For chefs, it's like free-falling into the unknown' René Redzepi Redzepi's restaurant in Copenhagen, Noma, has been voted No 1 in the World's 50 Best every year since 2010 and his belief in the importance of time and place in cooking has had global influence. He is a co-founder of Cook It Raw and has attended all five events: Denmark, Italy, Lapland, Japan, Poland There is one moment I will never forget from the first Cook It Raw in Denmark in 2009.
