A Culinary Collaboration: Ida Bauhn x Desirée Jaks at Nour

On February 25 and 26, we invite our guests to embark on a rare culinary journey. For two exclusive evenings, our Head Chef Ida Bauhn and the acclaimed 2023 Chef of the Year winner Desirée Jaks will join forces in the kitchen to present a unique Four Hands Dinner. The concept of a Four Hands Dinner involves two chefs coming together to create a harmonious dining experience that reflects their combined knowledge and creativity. This collaboration will merge their personal styles and signature dishes into a menu that celebrates the finest seasonal ingredients and their shared passion.

“For me, it’s not just an experience for the guests but also an opportunity for us as chefs to create something new and personal through working together,” says Desirée Jaks.

The menu will be rooted in Nordic traditions, infused with Desirée’s Polish heritage, Ida’s inspirations, and the distinctive character of Sayan Isaksson’s Nour. “During the dinner, we aim to maintain the service experience that Nour is known for while serving food that reflects both Ida and me. This results in a menu featuring dishes and ingredients that we’ve worked on together as well as our own signature creations. Naturally, we want to preserve Nour’s identity during these evenings, but for these two nights, the restaurant will wear a new outfit. The foundation and heart remain the same, with the staff playing a key role, but there will be a fresh touch in the menu’s ingredients and flavors,” says Desirée. Winter, a season often underestimated for its produce, will shine on the menu, showcasing carefully selected seafood and other seasonal delicacies. The meticulously curated beverage pairings will remain a secret for now, promising a holistic experience that leaves a lasting impression. “There’s so much to embrace even during the winter season. We’ll be working extensively with seafood and other ingredients that we’ve perfected in their season,” says Ida.

“There’s so much to embrace even during the winter season,” says Ida Bauhn.

Ida Bauhn, our Head Chef for the past six months and recent winner of the Stella Chef Award, joins forces with Desirée Jaks, Sweden’s Chef of the Year 2023, to bring an exciting dynamic to this collaboration. Their partnership has been honed through previous work at renowned establishments such as Agrikultur and the Swedish Culinary Team, where Ida serves as team captain. Together, they promise an evening that balances comfort with surprise, delivering dishes that captivate and impress. “What’s important to me is that we’re both proud and satisfied with a menu that reflects both my and Ida’s cooking while staying true to the identity and concept of the Nour experience. Happy guests are, of course, our top priority, but I also hope that the Nour staff find this event equally exciting and enjoyable,” says Desirée.

This exclusive event takes place only on February 25 and 26.
