Seven-day concept aims to convey the potential of takeout food

Usually when Kokkeriet restaurant serves up its cuisine, customers are seated at meticulously-laid tables and treated to an experience just as much as a fantastic meal. That’s the expectation that comes with dining at one of Denmark’s 22 Michelin star restaurants.

But now, in co-operation with the newly-launched takeaway portal Gotipster, Kokkeriet will become the first ever Danish Michelin star restaurant to offer food to go to its patrons.

“Takeaway is probably the biggest market in the food arena,” David Johansen, Kokkeriet’s chef, told AOK.dk.

“We are not so naive as to think that the concept will attract more customers to our restaurant, but we would like to think that we are part of influencing the idea society has about what kind of food you should be eating.”

Seven days of glutton 
Lasting just seven day, the takeaway concept will not be a permanent fixture at the Copenhagen restaurant, and Johansen explained that the takeaway food the restaurant will serve will not be the same as the gastronomical delights served at their restaurant.

The lower price and oven heating differences are among the reasons why the food won’t quite reach the heights of the restaurant.

“Whichever way you look at it, there’s no comparing it with the dishes we serve at the restaurant,” said Johansen.

The takeaway concept will run from October 10-16 and the price will be 175 kroner per serving. You can pre-order here at Gotipster.

Kokkeriet, located on Kronprinsessegade in the city centre, has won a Michelin star for the past eight years.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
