His easy charm and self-deprecating humour belie a heavyweight talent in the kitchen, forged over twenty years in the hospitality industry.&nbsp;Rich&nbsp;takes great pride in the ethos that he\u2019s developed towards food over the course of his career \u2014 an approach that emphasises the importance of local, organic produce and foraged ingredients.&nbsp;Rich&nbsp;uses his encyclopedic knowledge of local flora and fauna to create dishes that embody the essence of a place in a way that transcends taste. We remember when he excitedly served us a bite of cured trout with green juniper and pine, and said \u201cclose your eyes &#8211; doesn\u2019t this make you think of the lake in S\u00f8rv\u00e5gen?\u201d We have to admit &#8211; it absolutely did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as he arrived here,&nbsp;Rich&nbsp;fell in love with Lofoten, and has spent the last year getting \u201ctucked in\u201d, as he puts it. From working with the local marine science consultancy to volunteering at an organic farm, from hosting workshops on foraging and fermentation to joining a fishing expedition during Skrei season,&nbsp;Rich has dived into his new community with both feet. This, coupled with his warm personality and joie de vivre, have made him a popular figure around the islands.&nbsp;Rich&nbsp;is a pleasure-seeker that strives for excellence, and loves to share the results with friends old and new. His mind is always busy working on how this or that dish can be improved, how he can push himself just one step further. Outside of work he\u2019s just as much of a perfectionist, and happens to be a gifted pianist, so if he\u2019s not in the kitchen, you might catch him playing with the local band.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cWhen I first came to Lofoten it was exhilarating, but every step felt like a step into the unknown. Now I\u2019ve been here for almost a year, I know where to go to get the best produce, I know the best foraging spots, the best fishing spots, and I\u2019ve gotten to know the amazing people that live here. I\u2019m moving forward into my second year with confidence, and I can\u2019t wait to see how it unfolds.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.holmenlofoten.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMGP5242-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.holmenlofoten.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMGP5242-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.holmenlofoten.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMGP5242-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.holmenlofoten.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMGP5242-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.holmenlofoten.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMGP5242-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.holmenlofoten.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMGP5242-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.holmenlofoten.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMGP5242-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you ask him what he does here at Holmen, head chef Rich will grin and reply \u201cI just make things hotter.\u201d Of course, he\u2019s being coy!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1724,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[85,81,84,70,88,30,86,29,87],"class_list":["post-1742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","tag-chef","tag-culinary","tag-head","tag-holmen-lofoten","tag-kulinarisk","tag-lofoten","tag-menu","tag-restaurant","tag-tasting"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
