This year's themed lunches start in August

Last year, The Old Stable and The Green Museum joined forces and established some truly unique garden walks with accompanying lunch – and this year the success is being repeated.

Sink your teeth into history with The Green Museum's food historian Bettina Buhl and restaurateur Kim Thygesen from Den Gamle Stald.

This year's four themed lunches are now planned.

During the autumn, it will be possible to take part in a historical and culinary journey through time four times, when Bettina Buhl and Kim Thygesen invite you to some wonderful Wednesdays at The Green Museum and The Old Stable.

It will all start with a cozy and calm walk in the Green Museum's living outdoor cultural heritage, where food historian Bettina Buhl will guide and vividly tell about the past and the many exciting dishes and ingredients that have filled the Danish kitchen and home.

Afterwards, Kim Thygesen will serve a delicious 2-course lunch at restaurant Den Gamle Stald. This lunch will of course be inspired by the historical dishes and ingredients that Bettina Buhl has brought to life shortly before. But of course adapted to modern Nordic cuisine.

The price is only 295,- + drinks, and you can buy tickets for the event here.

REMEMBER TO BUY YOUR TICKET FOR THE EVENT AT THE OLD STABLE!

Wednesday 26 October, 11.00 – 14.00
Theme: Hops and livestock:

We will visit the museum's hop garden, which at this time would like to display good and large hop cups. Museum curator and food historian Bettina Buhl will talk about how the museum's hop garden was created and about hop cultivation through the ages. We will also hear stories about the use of hops and not least grandma's home-brewed beer. We will end by visiting the old farm animals - these are the old Danish breeds. After the story, there will be lunch in Den gamle Stald, where the food is prepared with beer. Beer in food is always good. The restaurant uses beer actively in the cooking, including when braising and marinating.

Theme: Christmas

It's December and the many Christmas dishes are slowly arriving on Danish dining tables. We will visit MADENS HUS and the historic kitchens, where museum curator and food historian Bettina Buhl will tell the cultural history behind the classic Danish Christmas dishes. We will hear about baked goods, dinners and desserts. We will end with a story about how Christmas dinner has been held through the ages – about faith and superstition. Afterwards, there will be lunch in Den gamle Stald, where the restaurant will offer the classic Christmas flavors – yet adapted to today's taste buds.
