New York City: Our culinary world tour, which marks the rollout of chef Frederik Bille Brahe’s Atelier September: A place for daytime cooking, the first cookbook dedicated to his renowned Danish restaurant, continued this month with a special US launch at New York’s Hudson Wilder on February 10. Following events in Copenhagen, Berlin, and Paris, Frederik joined Apartamento contributor Camille Okhio for the first public Q&A dedicated to his new cookbook, part of which is excerpted below. A whole block of friends hung around to share a drink and have their copy of the sold-out first print run signed by Frederik. (Don’t worry—a second batch is available now!)
Waylon Bone, long-time Apartamento collaborator (check out his short films on Duane Michals and Clayton Patterson), spent the day with Frederik in the lead up to the launch, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Atelier September as well as his culinary journey thus far. This video diary is the first in a series capturing Frederik’s travels as we join the chef in bringing A.S staples to readers around the world. Stay tuned for more!
P.S. For more on Frederik, watch the short film we put together alongside his first ever cookbook, All the Stuff We Cooked, which we published back in 2020.
