HUNTER - CHEF

Nikolaj is a hunter, and his preferred weapon of choice is the bow. He likes the challenge.

Skill, patience, and precision is key for being a good bow hunter, getting close to an animal on high alert is a challenge. And you need to get close, real close. You must connect with the nature around you, know the trails and the wind, to even get to the point where you can pull the bowstring.

With a rifle you can take down a deer from up to 200m. With a bow you must get within 25m of the deer. The hunt gets harder and requires more skill, but the reward is so much bigger.

Besides hunting Nikolaj is a renowned chef and has paid his dues at top restaurants like The River Café, and Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in London. He has written several cookbooks, the most recent focussing on preparing wild game meat with inspiration from food culture all over the world.

Nikolaj has made his hobbies his job, and travels the world hunting and cooking, writing articles about his experiences.
