RESTAURANT KOKS**
FAROE ISLANDS FLAVOUR
Unique gastronomic experience at the end of the World!
This new cookbook and coffee table book is about two-time Michelin star restaurant KOKS and its Head Chef, Poul Andrias Ziska. The book takes the reader on a unique culinary round trip to all the 18 islands and includes lots of exciting recipes from the Head Chef. People from all over the World fly in to experience two-time Michelin star restaurant KOKS. Now this experience is available through this book.
Here is an excerpt of the introduction to the book by Head Chef Poul Andrias Ziska:
”I was born here – surrounded by the forces of nature, the smell of the rolling Atlantic Ocean and the sight of rugged peaks cloaked in green. The flavours I create in the kitchen come from that landscape; they can be raw and powerful, and some of our ingredients - such as wild sea-birds - may be challenging. The photography reveals some of Koks’ latest dishes, but also portrays the raw beauty of the land and sea where the food was born. The chapter texts convey something of the essential spirit of the Faroes. This book will take you to each of the islands, and bring you a snapshot
of what we try to do at Koks.”

About Chef Poul Andrias Ziska
Poul Andrias Ziska, the young executive chef of KOKS restaurant in the capital city of Tórshavn in Faroe Islands represents the next generation of the chefs who adopted ten
years ago The New Nordic Kitchen Manifesto.
His cooking style can be defined as pure, fresh, simple and ethic. He was born and brought up on the islands but he learned his cooking skills on the Danish mainland where he also received the final touch at the two Michelin stars restaurant Geranium, before lifting traditional Faeroese gastronomy to new heights, first as a sous-chef at KOKS and then as the executive chef in his own right. Reading his cookery book KOKS gives a fantastic foretaste of his skills. The work has magnificent photographs and subtle descriptions, tells about the history of nature, of the hunting culture and of Faroese products, and describes the excellent delicacies that are created from these at the KOKS restaurant!.
