Danish chef rolls up with gourmet feasts on Copenhagen cargo bike tours
Morten Kryger Wulff’s cargo bike, which he designed himself, has everything he needs to cook up a movable feast
The 56-year-old chef, a veteran of prestigious kitchens across Europe, got the idea more than two decades ago to take his cooking to the great outdoors, leading customers on a gastronomic bike ride through Copenhagen – with delectable food served at every stop.
On a sunny weekday in July, grilled seaweed, dill cream, bean fricassee, Nordic pizza and blackcurrant ice cream were on the menu for the ride from the Danish capital’s harbour to the Amager Nature Park.
“This is as close as I can come to nature, cooking-wise, in a chef way,” said Wulff.
The tour lasts about four hours total, covering 3 to 5km (2 to 3 miles). It is broken into bike rides of about 15 minutes each, in between which the chef gets off his bike, unfolds his table and starts cooking.
“You take away the walls of a traditional restaurant and you expose yourself to the city and to the elements you’re in,” he said.
